Boy's war game sparked invasion fears

An Austrian teenager who dressed up as a soldier to play war games in the woods sparked a major alert over fears the country was being invaded.

Martin Schloegel, 15, from Dellach, was dressed up in military camouflage gear complete with a wooden toy rifle.

He was spotted by a 53-year-old forester who thought the area was coming under attack from a foreign army.

He called local police who led a hunt for the 'army' involving helicopters, special Cobra combat forces and sniffer dogs.

The teenager who was finally caught said he had not intended to hurt anyone and was only on his way to a friend's house to play soldiers after months of watching the war on TV.

I've always wanted one of those austrian villias set in the mountains (plenty of shooting room).  I say, max out on mags, LETS GO!

Hypothetically, if 30 people from the board were to do this, would they also take over Glock and turn it into a decent, RKBA-type company? (and stop throating the barrels)

I plan on going to Austria later this year.  I'll leave my wooden sticks at home.

Did they export Red Dawn or something?

Now what would happen if a Mall Ninja happened to be air dropped in to Vienna with his assault golf cart?
