I recently had an experience i'll never forget.
While playing paintball with a few friends, most of whom are ardent Equilibrium fans, we got the idea of trying to pull off a few effective Gun-Kata maneuvers. Of course it didn't really work, we spent most of the time flailing ineffectualy and generaly looking like retards so we decided to get on with the match.
My team was winning at the time, and they only had 2 guys left on their team, we had 4, so the 4 of us went looking for the remaining combatants. We spotted one of them off in a relative clearing so we banded together and went off to get him. (he stil had 2 guns from us messing around, but thankfully the wardens didn't see him)
This is where i discovered that the beauty of Gun-Kata is in it's Jedi like ability to kick in when you need it most.
As the 4 of us converged on the poor individual he appeared to garner a grim look of solid determination on his face.....and we opened fire
all 4 of us managed to miss, as he pulled off this wacky maneuver and iced myself and another of my team (the paintball caught me right in the testicles), the 2 remaining members fired again, and although they caught hin in the shoulder this time, he still got off another 2 shots, and killed the last 2 players.
I actualy almost laughed myself to death when i saw this, it was probably the coolest thing i had ever seen, although i was still cupping my crotch in agony.
For the rest of the day we reffered to him as Preston and it's unlikely he will ever lose the nickname.
Unfortunately i still have bruise on my balls
This is the painful truth of the Gun-Kata
