Ah but wouldnt he then be d/q'd for using a "marker" that fires more then one ball per pull of the "trigger".

Just Imagine that one ... "Um excuse me mister supreme being, I need to check that marker for a second ..."

Also how do you explain that to your insurance ... "You say your car was damamged by a hail storm of paintballs???"

And I guess he does not use a "low pressure" marker either....

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the center of a tornado is extreme low pressure. So He does use a low pressure marker.

But I think He may need to stop by the chrony station...His velocity may be a bit high.

Talk about accuracy by volume!

Tornados only do about what, 200 mph or something? Thats within the field limit :)

Imagine walking out your front door and everything is dotted with paintballs. That would be cool to see.
