I don’t know if this counts but I was always disappointed that real life pea shooters and water pistols were nothing like their comic representations, that worked like machine guns and hoses respectively. I suppose the closest we ever got was the Super Soaker.
Oh, and I’ve never seen a catapult made from a Y shaped stick.

For the catapult, do you mean a slingshot?

I made one of these when I was a kid using a ton of rubber bands. One of the “arms” flew off and hit me in the face. It was definitely not as fun as the cartoons advertised.

Yes, I always called them catapults as a kid and I guess it stuck!
