To the bastards with the water balloon launcher

[Lakemead1]

Here's my soapbox again.
We were cruising out at Mead on Saturday and decide to stop by Sandy for a minute to see if anyone else was there. On the way out through the no wake zone these bastards started launching water balloons at us. We didn't know them, they just picked us out as a target.
Damn if we weren't about 60 yards or so away from them headed out and they didn't land one right in the boat, hitting one of my female passengers and giving her a huge welt and bruise. That thing had some velocity on it for sure, and scared the shit out of Ms. LM1 because it was damn near her head. I wouldn't have thought it could do that much damage, but they certainly don't break that easy.
So, to you F'ers with the balloon launcher think twice before firing off balloon's at me when we're cruising through no wake and trying to get to open water. Shoot em at your faggoty friends all you want, but not me! Not only could you get sued and I may just take that pretty boat you keep in your driveway polishing it every weekend to impress the girls driving by, but we may just come back after you and shove that launcher up your ass! Think about it dumbasses!

If I am not mistaken, I believe those things are illegal to be using.

LOLTy,
Is that the same unit that is on the Tipman Paintball golfcart thingamajig? If I remember right the rate of fire was pretty damn good. Though, they could probably out range you with the waterballon launcher. My friends and I terrorized the So. Bay with one of those things back in highschool. Of course ours had been "modified" for increased performance.
Sorry to hear about your troubles LakeMead1, Next time, just turn the boat around and go pound the fags.

what was amazing was that they actually got us. We were pretty damn far. It was on my side so I reached as far back as I could to make it it my hand and break it first. It hit my hand and didn't break, then hit her. I don't think they filled them up very much.
I could use that paintball gun, where do I get one
All in all, it was fun at the lake though. Hope you all had a good time!

From what I understand.... since I was in a balloon-launcher equipped houseboat for the whole last week is that the only "fair game" is someone flying a pirate flag. At least on Powell. We got attacked and we attacked numerous boats flying the Jolly Roger with the launchers, and even maneuvered for position for full broadsides and passing volleys. What they DIDN'T expect was a rooster tail with the JR flying!
All in all, with willing participants the water balloon fights are a blast. Shooting at unsuspecting bystanders is a crock of shit though. To the best of my knowledge, everyone with a pirate flag was expecting fire, and ready to dole out some as well. I didn't personally know about this little clique though until this week.
Sorry about your injuries.
Squirts up!
P.S. We never actually squirted anyone with the tail... just close misting and gesturing! All in good fun. Our boat was a different story. They got soaked anytime they weren't paying attention!
Hey... we were just cleaning the roof up from spilled margaritas!

Maybe this should be standard equipment.

Back right up to them, oh say, about 40-50 feet away...put her in reverse, bring her to about 3000rpm in reverse then throw the lever forward and smash the pedal...you might even knock them out of their chairs...
not that I would ever do something like that.. wink
