If I shoot a stranger with a water-pistol (without them having signed up to something like Street Wars), is that common assault? (or any other kind of crime)
I'm not a laywer (and I don't play one on tv) but I'd guess that yes, it's assault.
Now, whether you they can get it to go as far as an arrest, would probably depend on whether you shot them with a small pistol or a super soaker. I would think, depending on who you shot, that you're more likely to get punched than have them call the police.
Are you in the habit of shooting strangers with water pistols?
I've had my nose buried in Law textbooks etc since early this morning, and have just this minute stopped, so I don't think I will give this one any thought just at the moment.. ;)

However if you did it repeatedly, I think that would be classed as harrassment at the very least.

Hope you're okay.
