That kind of stuff is VERY dangerous. Not only to the victims, but also to
the idiots shooting.
This is why. Before I started playing paintball about 6 years ago I was in
Spokane, Washington.
I was reaching into my car from the passenger side when I feel a sudden
stinging sensation in my side.
I touch my ribcage and feel something wet, I look at my fingers and I see
red. I think I 've been shot.
My blood start to pump and adrenilan starts to flow, I start to see in
tunnel vision.
I reach for my H&K USP compact chambered in .45 ACP. and and scan the area
at a low ready.
Directly behind me on the street I see a silver colored muzzle sticking out
of a Nissan Sentra passenger
window. I draw down on these punks in the Nissan and I hear a "HOLY SHIT!"
and the punks floor it
speed off. I try to calm down. I pull my shirt off, I see no entry wound.
only a nasty welt. I suddenly felt sick.
I almost used leathal force on some PRANKSTER.
