“Pietermaritzburg – A young woman on Tuesday described her terrifying ordeal after a high-speed chase where hooligans with paintball guns targeted her vehicle….”

Thumpy Covey's insight:

See, its not happening JUST in the USA….people can misuse any item, to the detriment of any game…paintball, airsoft, cars, motorcycles…Ham Radios….

SILLY-BALLERZ & PAINT-STUPID CANADA: Man with 'lookalike AK-47' arrested at gunpoint at Lime Ridge Mall - durhamregion.com

SILLY-BALLERZ & PAINT-STUPID CANADA: Man with 'lookalike AK-47' arrested at gunpoint at Lime Ridge Mall - durhamregion.com | Thumpy's 3D House of Airsoft™ @ Scoop.it | Scoop.it

"...Natalie Barbon, a clerk at Hallmark, said she never saw the man come in with the paintball gun, but witnessed the aftermath.

"There was a lot of shouting as they rushed him out of the mall. A lot of cops and security and it all happened so fast, it was over in five minutes. I was a little nervous. Given a situation like that, no one knows what will happen."

Staff Sgt. Cox said the man was dressed in black and smoking as he walked through the mall.

"That (the smoking, almost as much as the gun) set people off . We all know you don't smoke indoors. It's one of those defiance issues..."

Thumpy Covey's insight:

Oh, no one will EVER mistake a paintball gun for a real firearm, certainly not police...who, in this story, can't even properly identify its look alike properties to a real firearm... AK, puhlease!  See, this is why Paintball needs to keep throwing AIRSOFT UNDER THE BUS!  Thanks!

I'd like to know if any crossover 'Silly-Ballerz/'Softers here might be able to properly ID that gun...so we can call out the company involved....PM Me at my FB (Al Covey-Thumpy)

“Jennifer Ewing said she was riding down Summit Street near E. 7th Avenue when she saw something frightening.

“I look over and I see about eight guys standing and pointing a gun at me,” she said.


Ewing says the paintball gun resembled a real firearm. She’s glad it wasn’t.

“When one is pointed at you, it looks real,” she said. (emphasis added-T)


Ewing was injured just one week after police say 20-year-old Thomas Woodruff fired a paintball gun in southeast Columbus, striking a man in the eye.

That man lost his vision and Woodruff was charged with felonious assault…..”

Thumpy Covey's insight:

BUT, NO…they don’t need to be regulated as a dangerous big-bad-mean old airsoft guns, BB gun, or REAL Pew Pew guns are…we have “markers”….hoooBoyeeeee!
