My guess is it's a power thing. They feel like they are exerting a controlling power over someone by scaring them, and they get a rush on that power. At the same time, it makes them appear stronger in front of their friends to treat someone that way wihout consequence... an "Alpha Male" thing.
Plus, they're shitheads.
If somebody ever did that to me, the guy would be wearing his own ass as a hat as soon as I saw the "weapon" was harmless. Even if his friends ganged up on me and kicked my ass when I was done, at least I would have the satisfaction of knowing I didn't let some guy make my woman cry without paying the consequences. But that's just me.
Hearing shit like that makes me want to get off my butt and get my concealed carry permit... I already have a highly carryable Glock 19. Make the kid piss his pants when he sees a real gun show up, and he probably wouldn't pull that stunt again.
(For the record, I know that waving a gun around is the solution to very, very few encounters).
