A few of my buddies and I have gotten into an old hobby. Something to let you hang on to your youth so to speak.
Old hobby: Metal pump action air rifles that shot metal pellets.
New hobby: Airsfot rifles that shot 6mm plastic BB's
John H., my brother, and I got a few of them. We've shot each other with some cheap $5 ones John picked up the weekend before. They only give you a slight sting if you get hit up close, but other then that it's nothing major. 2 rules that we follow are not face shots and no shots to open skin. Simple enough right? Right.
On Saturday night John H., Joe, Cedric, and I wound up getting together at John's house. We were going to have a few beers and check out the new toys we got. And of course being the BIG kids we are it turned into us shotting at one another.
We basically turned in into 2-on-2 game with John H. and I; Cedric and Joe. We played for a good while until John had to get Nicole to bed. My brother showed up to take he's place and give me back up. We pretty much stuck to playing around the front and back yard. Going no further then that b/c the housese are all on top of each other.
Around 1am Michelle, John, and RJ show up. We had a gun for Michelle but it wound up breaking. Her, John, and RJ ran to Wally World to pick them up some guns. When they got back we turned it into a 4-on-4 battle royal. It was RED vs. BLUE out there kids and every bit of it was fun.
Red: Michelle, John H., my brother, and I.
Blue: Joe, Cedric, RJ, and John M.
We played two rounds around the house before the idea to go play at the doctors office parking lot behind the house. John H. and I of course we're not found of this idea...
A: It's patrolled by police
B: We've had enough run in's with the police
But of course it was put to vote and we got out voted. So we agreed to stick alone the fence line near the houses and to play in the side parking lot. That way we were no where near the building and we would still be close to the house. With the rules laid out Blue team went to hide while we waited.
My brother chose to stick near the house in case one of them came over the fence and no one was to far from the house if the kids woke up. Off we went with Michelle taking point, John H in the middle, and I was in the rear. Michelle had just gotten to the entrance when I saw headlights. "COP, COP, COP!!!" I rang out so those hiding would hear me as well.
I tossed one ofmy guns into the bush and shoved the other into my pocket. Michelle shoved all her's into her front hood pocket. John tried to hide he's, but it was a damn shotgun. Cop rolled up on us and asked John to put down the rifle. John told him it was an Airsoft rifle and what we were doing. Needless the say the guy already had a stick up he'as when he met up with us.
I managed to be the only one with an ID and he got the others info. He ran our names and asked us what we were doing. We told him that's when he came back with, "It's illeagle to discharge a pellet gun in city limits." John chimmed in with, "It's not a pellet gun it's an Airsoft." Next thing I know the cop is getting closer to him and I and saying, "Don't FUCK with me." "Do you want to go to jail?" We just shrugged it off b/c him nore I needed to go to jail that night. The cop gave back the gun and told us to go home.
While standing there my brother texted me. By the time I went to text him back the cop let us go. We walked back to the house to my brother coming out the house. John and I were both pissed b/c it was a BIG FAT I TOLD YOU SAY!!! Everyone made it back slowly but surely and the back up cop had circled the block on us. The last person to come back was Joe who had the bright idea first and was the one who kept bitching about going to a bigger space. John and I chose to light he's ass up when he came back. We unloaded 3 Airsoft guns on him.
After that it was safe to say the game was over. We plan on playing again, but we just have to find another spot to play. It's going to take some thinking on all our parts. John and I need no more near arrest on our hands. And for the record I'm just giving you kids the clean story...Later Days
