If you attack some random person with *any* gun from a moving car, expecting them to distinguish your "just for fun" attack from a real one in the space of only a few seconds, you're an idiot and fully deserve whatever happens to you.

Would you walk into a bank, produce a plastic handgun and say "This is a stick up!" and then complain that you shouldn't be arrested because you were "only kidding, look, this is a toy gun, it's not real"?

Assaulting people is *dangerous*. It *should* be dangerous. If you don't understand why this is, I suggest you avoid toy guns, paintball guns and replica guns until you you do.
