Yeah...so let me ask you....Most paintball drive by shootings happen
with the shooter staying put after they hit them...in plain sight.
Only speeding off after a gun is pulled? Please. You also have the
"Gunslinger" reference wrong.

Top posting? Lol..yeah I love having to scan down past the junk that's
allready been read...just to find your reply.

I share your status and your opinion on this matter.

I'll take your opinion as the expert on how to do a drive-by
paintballing. You sound like the voice of experience. If I was going
to shoot someone, I would probably go up and ring the doorbell. What
are they going to do after I killed them?

As for gettting 'the "Gunslinger" reference wrong", WTF am I supposed
to get from it?

<http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=gunslinger>

When people say "tell us in your own words" that is just a figure of
speech. You still have to use the same ones everyone else uses. You
don't get to start making up now definitions.

As opposed to making a reply with no context and STILL failing to
snip away any of the irrelevant crap?

I can see something like that happening, especially to someone who doesn't know
anything about paintball - and anyone who doesn't think it's possible for
something to go down like tgarza described needs to become a little more aware
of the world around them. You never know who's carrying.
If I wasn't aware of what paintball is, had a similar incident happen to me,
and thought my life was in danger... It would not be a good day for either of
us.
