coquitera
A homemade slingshot used by kids to hunt small birds or shoot at each other. It is made by stretching a cut balloon over a hair roller or the neck of a plastic bottle, using the rubber's elasticity to fire projectiles. (The name comes from coquitos, the small, hard fruits of the Pindo palm tree which are commonly used as ammo).
When we were kids we used to play war with coquiteras.
