I remember shouting "Bang-Bang" (actually Esh-Esh) early in basic. Not such a big deal before they can trust you with live ammo.

Using ammunition in guns has been rendered illegal by a new EU directive. This includes, caps in cap guns, spuds in spud guns and water in water pistols too, as well as the nasty shiny metal type. The new directive would be implemented when parliament returned from an all expenses paid holiday in the Maldives. MI6 have confirmed that a bag of potatoes has been stolen from a farm in Somerset and an attack is imminent.

I rather like the idea, going 'bang bang' and having umpires to decide who was killed, wounded etc is much more preferable than actually shooting people. If only the dipsticks who like to shoot defenceless animals & birds would take the same approach!
