Calling the Kharg a "warship" is more than a little generous - she started life as a British fleet oiler...

FIFY.

I would even go so far as to argue that deadly force by the homeowner was justified even if he had realized they were using paintball guns. Loss of an eye would seem to meet the necessary criteria for threat of grave bodily harm.

Being a target is part of war. Although now it has moved on from being a target to being an artificial reef.

The Zohan egressed from an Israeli submarine via torpedo tube and side-kicked a hole in the Kharg below the waterline. The ship spontaneously combusted from sheer admiration.

Went to Reno Guns & Range after class this evening. Fired a couple magazines from a full auto AK, and 3 from an FA Uzi. Towards the end I started to get confident enough to try for head bursts with the Uzi. Could have easily kept going but the 5 mags was just short of $300, so box checked, decided to call it a night and get some dinner. Back at the hotel in the casino now... If the company sends me back for the second class, I am going to try to get them to put me up at the Holiday Inn Express (which is next door to the range) instead of the stupid casino.

I'm having some remodeling done - remove 99 yo lath and plaster, put in insulation, some outlets, sheet rock, etc.

The remodelers found a 1925 Marbles Outdoors catalog in the wall. It's in rough shape, so I haven't tried looking at much of it yet, but there was a broken shell extractor for 75 cents.

Also found a very old 1/2" socket chisel over a window header. The handle is trash, but the blade is still quite sharp.

I keep hoping for a bag of silver or gold, but so far no luck. One more ceiling to go, though, so here's hoping.
