well even in the late 90s there was one time where we were standing outside a
friends house with paintball guns. the one i had didn't have the big magazine
tube thing.
an old guy from across the street came over and tried to disarm
me like he was chuck norris. it was obvious by appearance and the feel that
it was not a real gun. I was young and strong so it he couldn't really move
it one inch which really looked comical.
I guess the story on that guy is he
was a drunk and he had a younger gf who would always stare at me from across
the street. it was a weird situation.
In today's age i would have been shot on sight.
