It's not illegal, but it leads to some chaos and confusion among community members when the water guns are mistaken for firearms.

Last weekend in Portage, police responded to an incident involving the game.

Police said a caller to 9-1-1 reported an incident at a restaurant of a disturbance involving multiple people in a restaurant parking lot.

The caller told police two SUVs were blocking in a sedan and that a person was being chased by armed people with firearms.

Officers responded and the teens were compliant with them and it was discovered that the firearms were actually toys, police said.
