At our dinning table my brother was telling me his friend who bought a plastic airgun from SM Mall, its very cheap but it looks real especially at night. The guy removed the gun from its box tossing the box in his trunk while playing with the gun while he was driving. It was late and he didnt thought that anything could happen. After a short while he placed the gun on the passenger's seat and forgot all about it. On his way there was a check point, he didnt remember that he has the airgun is just beside him. A soldier stopped him to check his car, and when the soldier saw the gun, he slowly approach his window side taking his gun from his side as if ready to pull it out. The other soldiers saw his action and they slowly got near the car too. A total of three soldiers surrounding the car. The guy froze and he started sweating. "Sir its just an airgun, nothing to worry." He slowly moved trying to pick it up in order for him to give it to the soldier and prove that its not real. The soldier shouted at him, "STOP, Don't MOVE. PUT your hands away from the GUN. And open the door slowly as you come out.". The guy felt his car moved as the 3 soldiers dived to his car, all pointing their gun at him. The guy froze again and he followed the soldier's instructions. At soon as he stepped out the soldier held him tight, his hands behind his back while the other soldiers were checking the gun. Once they have confirmed that it was FAKE they open the trunk and found the SM Mall Plastic with the receipt on it. Thy guy explained that it was a gift for his little brother. The soldiers let him go slowly and have him stayed a couple of minutes so that they could explain to him what he did and the precaution that should be taken. He understood them completely, driving home still nervous. It suddenly came into his mind what if he pick up the gun, they would really shoot him down as precautions. He glad that he didn't and that he was safe. He never again bought another airgun in his life as my brother states.
