Brilliant. I think that's what my friends and I did all year round in the dark ages. We little Band of Brothers. When boys could be boys and play war. Guns.... Before the Great Emasculation.......

:lol: I know what you mean. Damn, I loved playing 'war' and 'guns' and whatever else we cared to call it when we were kids. I remember once we used our old flintlock-style toy guns, dressed in bed sheets and ran around the neighborhood playing at being some sort of rampaging Bedouins. That wouldn't go over too well nowadays :shifty:

Though, to be fair, I do have some mixed feelings about children at play with toy guns.

I was just having a conversation about paintball and how much fun I used to have playing a number of years back now. Still wished I played it, but a lot of my friends grew out of it, you know. :(

Ah bad news!I go to walk-on days where everyone who has their own gear turns up on the site once a month,gets put into teams & plays for the day, seen as all my friends who bought gear at the same time as me have "grown up" ("turned boring") & wont go anymore!the age range varies from 13 year old kids to men and women twice my age :)

Playing army as kids though,me and all the lads from round the village bought cap guns & used to spend the entire weekend at war on my dads farm & in the surrounding woods!I had an M16 that took strip caps & it ejected the spent ones as you fired it,it was the ultimate in cool as an 8 - 11 year old kid before we discovered girls & so forth! sometimes we would beg our parents to take us into town on market day as well because there was always an old man with a stall there selling army surplus,so we would buy ammo belts full of spent shells,camo trousers & smocks that were too big for us,belts with water bottles & pouches on & world war 2 "tommy" helmets for playing army in with our pocket money :lol: my cousin who is the same age as me lived in germany as his dad was in the british army but based there,so when he got reposted to england & my cousin moved to the village he joined in too, but because he'd been in germany & we didnt understand why at the time,we just called him a german & he always had to play enemy as we wanted to be the winning allies & as far as we were concerned he was a kraut & they lost the war :lol: kids are cruel!

Skipped to the bit where the action kicks off - they really should have used more suitable music, or just left it as "the sounds of battle" - otherwise that bit was great. :)
