Well...at least some of them are wearing masks. :) And too bad they're not using Sydarms!

Yea, I just saw a little video on the news of this. When I saw it, they were all wearing masks :)
They were using paintball pistols, Probably airsoft pistols with those 40mm PBs.

riot police also use air rifles with paintballs filled with mace. they aim at the chest ands when it hits you, this cloud of mace goes right up past your face.Comment

actually those so called air marshals are US army delta operators-they are the most highly trained military personel in the art of CQB-and no those arent paintballs. the are a special round that can be loaded into a pistol which have a tip of very soft plastic which explodes and colored powder comes out instead of paintball stuff-they also have much less gunpowder so when they fire they are alittle over 300 ft per second i think.68 mag w/left powerfeed, jj 14in. ceramic barrel, KAPP foregrip,32 degrees coiled remoteComment

Where's there's sophisticated paintball-related technology, you're sure to find Tom Kaye! Look at the very left side of the picture. There's Tom, nonchalantly enjoying himself.

Probably not Delta Force
Andrew, you may be mistaken. These people are not Delta Force, it is against the law for US military to operate on US soil, unless by federal mandate... I heard that the Air Marshals were being trained by the Delta Force. Perhaps that is what you were thinking of.
