High density of course means higher weight, which means reduced velocity, which means less energy.
But, I concede the point. They *could* have had a 650 fps spring-powered PSG-1 firing .66g pellets, aimed via scope right at the baby's fontanel.
I agree that airsofting should be done where people won't get hurt. I don't see why it should be illegal under those circumstances, however, which is my sole gripe, I might add.
Aw, having a bad day today?
I sincerely hope you don't need me to reiterate for the hundredth time that I am as well a Virginia resident (my user account even reflects that much of the time), and that therefore I pay particular attention to the VA subforum. Not to mention the forum rules explicitly note that the state subforums allow out of state participants.
I agree with you as well, I don't see why it should be illegal to play in the middle of the woods, but it is. Frankly, I could care less if they played there (at the secluded area I mentioned). But they were playing in an area where they shouldn't be playing. They wouldn't leave, and they came BACK the next day when even more people were there, and started playing again. This is why I got the law involved.
I think if you went to the park in question, you would agree that they were playing in the wrong area. You might be thinking it's heavily wooded, but it's not. Basically it's a big field with some light woods surrounding the perimeter of the park (it's surrounded by water, the Nansemond River I believe). The trail and disc golf course run around the perimeter. At the thickest point along the trail, there might be about 200-300 feet of woods from the field to the water.
