Good. I like it when someone knows enuff to change the subject header when
the topic changes! ;-*

Yes... that sounds reasonable. It carries the concept of "mock battle" for
training purposes.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of a {moQHom} for the pellet and
I like Riku's rendering of {'IwHey} for the liquid inside the {moQHom}
(because it IS supposed to be a simmulation of blood splots to mark where
you are hit). Now I just gotta figure out if the N-N construction for
"paint ball" (as in the pellet) is a {moQHom 'IwHey} or a {'IwHey moQHom}.
