"Presenting a firearm"
"Discharging a firearm"
It dosen't matter. If it looks like a firearm (working, non working, imitation, etc) or is presented in a manner as to give the impression that you have one.
Teenagers like to play with "replica" guns so that they appear cool to their mates.
There have been some VERY shit scared kids who get pulled up by AOS and have to answer a few questions...

I don't quite get what their ethnicity has to do with the dumb-arse actions.
My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
I think you will find that just about every white guy has been picked on when outnumbered by the 'darkies'.
Yes paintball guns are counted as firearms, you can even get done for the firearm in a public place thing if you're waving a bright yellow piece of plastic around if it is shaped somewhat like a gun, functional or not. Good example is a mother on one of the police programs getting pulled over (pretty sure there was some amount of armed offenders squad in there too) because her very young son was playing with a toy gun in the backseat while she was driving around.
I wear back armour so I don't think I would've felt itwould still piss me off though, you know they wouldn't be happy if you even looked at them 'wrong'.
EDIT: Swoop beat me to it.
1a) Definition of a firearm The Arms Act 1983 defines a firearm as anything from which any shot,bullet,missile or other projectile can be discharged by force of explosive.It includes anything that can be adapted so that it can discharge any shot,bullet,missile or other projectile by force of explosive.It also includes anything that for the time being is not capable of discharging any shot,bullet,missile or other projectile by force of explosive,but which by it’s completion or repair would be capable of doing so.
So....not a firearm as such then, BUT....paintball guns are classed as airguns so logically it would appear that in this instance normal firearm laws would apply.

Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes
Hmm............ as a white skinny pommy in the early 70's in the 'bash a pom a day' times the only people that did not have a go at me was the Polynesians!.......you see they were mostly fresh off the boat and suffering at the hands of the racists kiwi's as well................take out of that what you will!
Hey Devil,
sorry to hear you've had this crazy shit happen - i can't help wondering how many other road users/pedestrians etc these brain surgeons have been taking pot shots at... btw, fully understand/support your darkie comments - you call it as you see it, and I wdve done the same (n i'm a darkie!)
for those of you currently perching your self righteous over inflated selves on your tree-hugging pedestals, blahing on about racism/racist comments - how bout not ignoring the potential for serious injury these actions could have caused.....lets see: paint ball, blank range, velocity etc vs an eye = goodbye eye; OR...vs soft tissue (anyone who's seen/felt the pain of a paint ball at close range knows what i'm talking about)....the unexpected nature of the impact could easily have made a less experienced person lose their balance/line etc and caused a collision with another road user....all sorts of pain/chaos.
so lets shelve the diversionary tactics regarding racist comments, and focus on the real issue: some stupid fkers who were old enough to know better shot a guy riding a motorbike with a paintball, and thought it was funny...then got all aggro when approached...and probably woulda beat three kinds of shit outta the innocent party if he'd hung around any longer... WTF is the world coming to??
Jim-bob the mechanic, Greymouth: That tyre's fkd..it wouldn't even make it to CHCH!
