CNNHN "Pepper spray loaded pellets used on Maryland rioters"

[Spaceman613]

Might sound like a stupid question but...

Do they chrony the pepperbal guns?

Reason I ask is that 300fps is below where balls will break fingers. Would the pepperballs break small bones at high velocities? Or are the shooters out of legal problems because of the riot situations?

Irony would dictate that a rioter gets hit with a HOT pepperball (no pun intended) and it breaks his finger. He then turns around and charges the police with brutality.

OK then...lets move on with our lives....

usually when you buy from a 3rd party it is infact cheaper than buying directly from the source

for example
buying a full freak set from smart parts is 225
where buying it from paintballgear.com or copaintball is 189 or somewhere around there...

im sure this is true with most, if not all AGD products as well... so in following with this.. you would think it would be cheaper to buy these balls from the *other* company instead of directly from AGD, which makes it odd that they would not tell you that they infact did get them from AGD...
who knows im probably just rambling on

Dry Ice: There is a reason for this....a manufacturer is just that....they manufacture. They usually are not set up for distribution to the end consumer. Also, most companies want to encourage people to buy from their distribution channels. It would be a folly for a manufacturer to undercut its own distributors....think the distributors would work hard to sell anything?

They also sell water filled balls for much more than we do (they buy them from us), do you think they would just tell you to go down the street and get them cheaper??

hence why i said what i said

Jeez,
you know, if someone says something to make sure that something doesn't hurt their business, it's not the end of the world. I mean, I can understand why they would say they made the pepperballs (but I don't condone it)and that's just to keep their business on top. TK makes for them, they sell to others. TK makes money, they make money, law enforcement can keep the peace. Everybody happy now?

Technically anyone who you contract to do work for you is your "employee" under that contract and is making them as such. It's an old stretch of the truth (just a lack the fine details so to speak) to say it and keep you inter-workings private. In fact, if they conduct the work on your site, you are even liable for their actions even though they are "contractors" of yours. OSHA considers a contractor to be an employee of yours in that instance. EPA does too.
