Two guys with semiautomatic firearms were hellbent on breaking street for Call of Duty: Black Ops, sticking up a Baltimore-area GameStop and looting it of 100 copies of the game, due out Tuesday.

The Harford County, Md. sheriff's office said the heist happened Saturday evening, and the robbers waited until closing time to hold up the GameStop in the Festival at Bel Air shopping center in Bel Air, about 30 miles northeast of Baltimore.

Deputies said two customers stopped by the store mid-robbery and were forced at gunpoint into a storage area. Neither they nor employees were hurt. The robbers might also be behind an Oct. 21 holdup at GameStop's nearby Aberdeen, Md. location.

A sheriff's office spokesman asked locals to call them if they're offered a copy of the game before Tuesday's release date. A quick scour of Craigslist in that area turned up no such offers.

LOL I live near there, and my friends pre-ordered their copies there and they're freakin out that they might not get it.

God forbid their copies are stolen though, seriously. That would suck.

i bet those are fake guns

You mean like airsoft guns? Those things can still hurt, y'know, especially those Japanese models (Tokyo Marui). :shock:

Then again, I was shot in the torso with an airsoft FAMAS (a single-action type where you have to charge back the lever after each shot), and to be honest, it tickled. Still, if an airsoft weapon is being aimed at your face, it's pretty serious, and if you lack the capacity to commit self-defense by whatever reason, it'd be natural to stick your hands up.
