I'm with MrSelfDestruct. A paintball marker shoots a .68 caliber projectile at close to 300 fps. And if it doesn't break it stings like hell. They're begging for someone to lose an eye. You can't control where some of the shots are going to go. "aim below the shoulders" is not a proper safety option.

As for the rest of it, I guess "different strokes", although I think it'd be more fun if they got to shoot back, but damn it, it's just plain irresponsible to put people in danger like that.

There was a little girl here locally that got shot in the eye by a paintball b/c some punks were playing in a public park. They don't know if she'll ever see out of it again, she's pretty messed up.

That type of crap gives what is a a really fun sport a really bad name.
