Weapons of Mass Destruction

Benjamin, pronounced ben-yah-meen in Arabic, has picked up a penchant for guns and weapons ever since coming to the United Arab Emirates, causing fear and terror among colleagues, and even creating our once peaceful household into a Special Weapons And Tactics training zone. His two years of training in the army has proven useful, as he is able to apply a bit of what he was trained to do in combat here. Skills like target accuracy and war strategy, as well as a no fear, no holds barred type of aggression.

Some of his victims are wiped out mercilessly ever since he acquired this powerful and deadly weapon from Malaysia.

Purchased from his mother-in-law’s favourite household supplies shop in PJ Old Town. 'Em mozzies and flies stand no chance against the mighty Benyahmeen, the one-man "SWAT" force, if they dare venture into our humble abode.


Here he is, decked out in full gear, with a gun he purchased recently, through a counterpart’s contact.


It’s a Piranha R6 E-Force - .68 caliber full-auto paintball marker, equipped with threaded aluminium barrel (aerospace grade), raised sight rail, velocity adjust and electro mechanical multi-mode trigger frame. Powered by CO2 or N2, it delivers 12+ shots per second!


Ben picked up the Paintballing hobby recently with a bunch of colleagues. He actually only went once on 1st May, and a whole group of 60 colleagues have another session planned on 31st May. Bad news for me, since Aerosmith is performing in Dubai for one night only on that day. Good news for the mozzies and flies since there'll be at least one day of ceasefire.
