PS mate talks to me still on occasions

while the vid was slow and mumbly, on another note, I would wonder the legalities of you being held by armed troops. They don't have civil powers,(well I don't think so)

used to have an AR15 battery powered water pistol that was accurate in every way except it was plastic and squirted water. A mate and I (who was and is in the AFP !) bought several at a junk shop in Penrith years ago. At the time we were going to a fancy dress party.....

I wonder how 'legal' it would be these days ??

Well, let's put it this way Rick130, I wouldn't point it at a bloke with a real one

Tooles disposals sell similar replicas as well. As for the power to detain people, I have a sneaking suspicion that when they are doing couter terrorism stuff they do have the power, and I wouldn't be arguing too much if you were found on defence property either.

Ok I couldn't quite work out if they were on commonwealth property or not, if on base well thats a different story,
but then most of the security guys i have come across (the checkpoint ones) well there nationality is dubious as well as having mastery of the language.
