MD: Man Shot At By Paintball Gun Filled With Marbles

Oh yeah, I got the money owed to me.

He actually settled and wrote me a check shortly after the suit was filed.

His son was also ejected from the paint ball facility for life.
 
I once did some experimenting to see how fast I could get a PB flying, out of a cheaper $30 gun. I had it near 500fps before the bolt actually blew out of the gun. I have no doubt that a marbel shot out of it could be deadly.

I also have a full auto PB gun. Cost me $80, bought it right over EBAY. That thing is just as fun, and much cheaper, than a traditional firearm. BUT, I would never shoot it at anyone not playing, nor point it at anyone I wasn;t trying to shoot. I follow the four rules even with a PB gun, and have never had any problems.

I think the biggest problem is kids that don't have real firearms. They don;t understand the problems that they can cause, and being taught that it is acceptable to point a PB gun at people, I think they are more apt to cause the problems.
 
Vitamin G: I didn't do the modification myself, it was my cousin Mike, who is one of the original inventors of Constant Air.

Still I was 10 or so, so I might well be misremembering the spec. But I'm dead certain I saw that regular, non-frozen, plain jane paintball rip through a piece of plywood.

Ow. :)

Been playing for years now.

My original Tippmann 98 would ALMOST go through a piece of unsupported 1/2 inch drywall.

NOT something you want to get hit with while unprotected, or at close range.

Period.
 
If you murder a kid who is shooting random paintballs at you, you will go to jail for a long time and deservedly so. Period.


I am VERY interested to see if your opinion remains the same after you get your eye destroyed by an innocent "kid shooting random paintballs at you."
 
Sorry, this quote (don't know who it originally belongs to) struck me as odd:

who is shooting random paintballs at you


Shooting RANDOM paintballs AT you?


Seems to me that there's nothing "random" about shooting anything AT me.
