Halloween Egg Throwers--Karma

This morning I found the meaning of Karma. We were cleaning up the rental house for the new tenants to move in on Wednesday.
My fiancee said, what is that yellow stuff on the living room window? I quickly identified the problem, and told her "We got egged."
I went outside and did a survey, we were hit 5 times. They hit the roof 2 times, getting the range, then 3 direct hits on windows.
While the fiancee was barking about "decadent punks on Halloween", I got to thinking about what we used to do on Halloween back in high school.
I realized, this is Karma.

PAINT BALL GUN WORKS WONDERS IN RETURNING FIRE WITH AIRBORN POULTRY PRODUCTS[}:)]
Bad idea. Not only can you seriously injure someone, but also, many kids own paitball guns. Do you really want 5 or 6 highschool kids to shoot back. I've seen it happen. The adult had little or no recourse since he shot first. The fun was over in a hurry.

For ironic symmetry how about returning fire with a 12 guage shotgun stuffed with hardboiled egg?

What about Rock Salt?(never tried this and it may well be an urban myth) I reckon the aerodynamics of the salt pellets would suggest close range use to be of any effectivness(be kinda hard on the barrel too, if not cleaned soon after use, I'd think)
On second thought, perhaps the paintball gun idea is better-wouldn't be as likely to be considered use of a lethal weapon...
