It is called airsoft, they are plastic BBs, doesn't really hurt.

Like this

if u got a license in some states u can carry around a handgun...

Actually in AZ, you don't even need a license. I can carry a firearm on my side in a holster into the supermarket or wherever.....just as long as it's not a place that serves alcohol [bar, stripclub]

I just a mental picture of that this one eps of simpsons... when homer used his gun to do everything... change channel , open beer.. haha classic :D

L@@K is the most annoying thing to ever see... I really want to "LAAK" at whatever you have on the bazaar. Go back to ebay with that kind of junk.

That said, the price on the item itself is pretty decent, and I may consider it. :)

Haha, yup, we did that all the time. Good fun, hurt like hell and our parents would've done a lot more damage to us then the BBs if they ever found out.

Strangely, when I woke up this worming, I was having a dream about watching a promotional video, on-location, at a gun-training/shooting-range place. How bizarre. I blame this thread. :p

What ever happened to kids being kids... and using things like spitballs. IMHO, *any* kind of actual gun, shouldn't be pointed at a person, unless you intend to use it against that person. That's just a basic rule of gun-safety, both for the potential target, and possibly moreso for the gun-holder.

Can you imagine what would happen if the cops get called about kids shooting BB guns at each other, and the kid aims at the cop when he shows up? To each their own, but if I ever have kids, I can't say that I would encourage or be happy with that sort of behavior.

OTOH, I used to purchase and use both cap guns, and plastic ones that shoot these little yellow soft-plasic BB-like things, and one that shot discs, although those could have probably damaged an eye if one wasn't careful. So I'm not completely opposed to gun-play/cops-n-robbers/etc. during childhood, somehow it seems natural in a strange way, but just not in a way that could be permanently injurous. (I actually don't know how bad a single-pump BB hurts - does it have enough force to put an eye out or shatter a light bulb? I never owned a "real" BB gun. So perhaps I'm speaking from ignorance here about the safety issues. I'm curious.)

I have to warn everyone that the bb gun fights can be deadly. We did this when I was a kid and during one battle, my dad caught us and killed me.
