Savinien Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Re: Paintball Gun? I play tournament paintball and have for years. I've owned multiple guns and currently shoot a Proto 05. This gun can shoot upwards to 30+ balls a second at 300fps (feet per second). If you turn it up much farther than that, the balls will break in the breech. Many players have been knocked unconcious by paintballs to the back of the head. In fact, it just occured at a tournament in Texas in February. Paintballs can break bones in your hand if you aren't wearing some protective gloves (I've seen this many times, but so can a volleyball/baseball). Any significant damage (BOD) is only after cumulative affect in the same location. If you aren't wearing protection and are hit in the temple/eye you can be permanantly blinded. Paintball, even with these dangers, is still one of the sports that sends people to the ER. Basketball, softball, and football all ranking ahead of it.
