    Paintball actually got a good review on TV!

    I think it was Channel 7, Evening news in Detroit, had a brief story on Paintball! the reporter went to Atomix (my new favorite indoor field in the Detroit metro area), and they showed quite a bit.

    they focused on safety issues (wore goggles and markers all had barrel bags on), talked about markers a bit, interviewed the owner (cool guy, his name escapes me at the moment), and he shot the reporter in the nipple on camera...

    there was a great shot of a player belly sliding into the snake too, my favorite move on that turf! (apparently they spent 90 grand on it... whoah!).

    One problem though, which I am not sure about, they said paintballs are shot between 200 and 300 mph, not fps... anyone better than me at math wanna convert that for me?

    200 mph is 293 fps.

    Online converters for weights and measures. Calculators for quick and easy metric conversion. Conversion tables for both commonly used and very exotic units.

      yeah, 5280 feet in a mile and 3600 sec in an hour. just divide the fps by 5280 and multiply by 3600. 300fps = 204mph

            Yeah, I hate all this crap- its a "marker", you can't call it a gun, you have to show your ID if you buy a hopper at wal-mart. What the hell is up with that. Whats worse are these people who are trying to ban paintball, get a life
            Legalize It
