Take 12 steps and turn...

I've never understood the attraction toward paintball pistols. Why lug the additional weight around. Do you really need a "life or death" backup gun in this game we call paintball? Is it for a "coup-de-grace" shot to the forehead of your opponent in case you only wing him with your rifle? Is it strapped to your leg as a male extension to your privates? Maybe it's for carrying out your "final option" if you get pinned down alone in a bunker with all of the day's battle plans locked in your brain. "YOU"LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!"

D-Day is among us and it's well known that the per capita average between pistols and players reaches and all time high at this event. Seems like every airborne wannabe and every Nazi there will have a paintball pistol strapped or hanging or hidden on their person. No doubt there will even be a chrome plated, pearl handled one floating around somewhere. Quite frankly the attitude portrayed, whether perceived or personified, scares the willies out of me.
