I fondly remember walking down the main street of our then hippie community with my five year old in full camo gear complete with helmet and a life size wooden replica M16 his father made him.<br />We often played a game we called '10 second shooting' - where if you were shot you played dead for 10 seconds, giving the other person a chance to hide. 'Capture the Flag' was cool too.<br />Now the four of us virtually shoot each other on computers in COD 4.
