Mostpeople does it again :(

[Chaos_Theory!]

it does not take much to damage your eye. I am not sure the exact details of what happened. IIRC, he was teching a cocker in the shop and I believe it did not have a barrel. This happened in the late 90's. Guy was the head tech/manager of Georgia Paintball, under the big chicken( for you locals). He lost sight in the eye that he got hit in. I would go hang out in the shop and talk to the guy alot...this was 10 yrs ago...I wonder if he is still around...His name was John.

....sounds like we need to put cockerpunk and his paintbusting on this

Ive been and seen people get hit in the eye with much more force then a paintball out of a paintball gun w/o a barrel produces. I realize the eye can can damaged somewhat easily but i just cant see someone loosing an eye or eye site from that scenario.

Permanent eye damage and "losing and eye" are often used interchangeably. Loss of some or all sight is certainly possible - even from a low velocity projectile.

i dont want to admit it, but one time an angel i owned tried to blind me ...

hell, with a nice soft cushy eye analogue we could always try it out ...

Make Ballistic Gel Mold of Blue Chunk's head and get to it!

hmm, i just thought of this............. we're you pointing your gun down?

its like the classic listening for a front block leak against you ear, accidentally pull the trigger, and the back block pinches your nipple kinda thing. yeah, that happened to someone i know.

no, i had the roto breach open becuase i was installing a new JAM bolt into it. turns out my bedsheet pulls the trigger, and the blast of air headed into the bolt, instead blasted my face.

broke my glasses in half, lens goes flying, my eye hurts like hell.

funny thing is tho, my eye was closed before the lens hit my eyelid, because the scratches from the lens hitting me, were on my eyelid and could only be seen when i closed my eye.

it wasn't terribly dangerous, but not my favorite why to risk my sight.

i sold that angel about 3 weeks later. i loved the innovation and simplicity of the roto-breach sysems, now not so much ...

[ThePixelGuru]

off topic , but , I once saw a youngster shoot himself in the cheekbone just below the eye with a barrelless spyder , barrel or not he still almost lost his eye

See, people keep saying that in this thread but I don't see how it's possible to actually cause any real harm like that (except a complete freak accident, as in so improbable it's not even worth taking steps to prevent). Ever tried firing a marker like that? I can throw paint way faster. Hell, I could probably spit paint at a higher velocity than that. I dunno about you guys, but me and my friends throw paintballs at each other all the time and we've yet to put an eye out. Honestly, I'd rather be hit in the eye with the low-velocity paintball than with the blast of air.

Rules are rules. Really its the owners field and if you don't like his rules just don't go back and play somewhere else. If you think you have been harshly judged, then call him in a few days and try to work it out. I would start with a apology, since you came into his house and didn't follow the rules. I know how safe it is to fire without the breach and think it was a little harsh of punishment but again its the owners decision not anyone elses.

i do find it odd, that for shorter guys like me, that the distance from your ear, to you nipple is exact the distance from the front of the front block, to the back block.

its like orr had some reason to make the gun that long ...

[Bolter]

mostpeople, think of it this way. If a kid see's you teching your gun in this way, and thinks therefore its ok to do this, and does it himself with a DM or an EGO or something, not realising the possible danger, then how are they going to allow you to carry on?

What Im saying is, you may be setting the wrong example, even if you are being totally safe.

[GraveDiggersUnion]

we were actually discussing throwing mostpeople off of our field but he stepped up and generaled at Jims benefit game so he got to stay

"Uhm, why are you wearing your mask in the staging area?"
"Because this place is full of idiots with airguns."

[Chrishew09]

Kind of surprised they through you out, I would have just told you not to do that, and that would be the end of it.

But if you gave me attitude and didn't do what I asked, then I would kick you out.

But that doesn't sound like what you did......

It's not like you couldn't have cropped out the copyright.
That's almost as sloppy as stealing a watermarked modeling photo and claiming it's you in the picture...

"Bah."
