    Bad news for Boston - Maybe bad news for the sport of paintball?



    If anyone knows, police forces now use pepper balls as a form of a non-leathal way to 'take down' a threat. "Paintballs" with pepper powder inside instead of paint. I for one and VERY happy that they did not mention the word 'paintball' in this article, or it could have greatly damaged our sport. Your input is greatly appreciated guys.

        The fact that they use pepper balls is what he means. Old new here.

        Toms (AGD) Company "Perfect Circle" makes those Pepper balls.

          Perhaps that is old news, but the death of a young woman, after being shot by such a paintball-based round, less than 24 hours ago is not old news.

            It looked like the FN 303 was being blamed. I saw a picture of it on CNN. Maybe they were just showing what similar Less than lethal weapons looked like.

              1) The old news was the fact that they use pepperballs. They have used them for a long time.
              2) Either way, it's a repost.

                  From what they're saying here, it was a FN 303 projectile and not a normal pepperball.
