A pellet gun?!?!?! :laugh: Must be an Aussie thing. Good thing they did that down there, cause they woulda been wasted with a quickness around here.

After this, they'll probably recall all 'slug guns' (as we call them) !!!! Next thing you'll be reading about drive by shootings with Super Soakers as the offending weapon!!!!

Headline: Eight people drenched by sniper :scary: :)

Do yall happen to do paint ball guns over there?

[jillamanda]

I think we do, but I don't know much about it. Don't go giving people any more ideas - water and pellets are one thing, but paint's a serious issue.....;)

I was on a paintball (painball) team about 15 years ago. We warred in some rough country complete with barbed wire and cottonmouths! :scary: :cool:
When the temperature was crispy, those paintballs were hard and would put a knot on you! I got hit by two people at the same time in both sides of my neck. AAAHHHH!!!! Hurt like a sumbitch! After that, I wore a helmet and a hunting vest with a high collar. But, I made a lot of kills through many battles, so the once-in-a-while pain was minor. The organizers wouldn't let me bring a shotgun. So, what's up with that! :hehe:

They could use a spud gun. One of my neighbors had one once and it made a hell of a noise.

I think that's what we'll be reduced to before long. Another potential headline....
