Legal question...

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)

At a stretch, but I'd be surprised if it got far in court - probably a slap on the wrist.

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