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.

gomera

A homemade slingshot made from a Y-shaped tree branch and an elastic band with a leather pouch for holding stones. While traditionally used by children for hunting birds, it is also a common weapon used by protesters in social movements to resist police repression.

'High in the sky, a warrior eagle, she started acting cocky, so I let her have it with the gomera. Poor little eagle, I hit her right in the pussy!' (A playground parody of the Argentine patriotic hymn, Aurora).
