US CAv carries pepperball items, somehting wrong here?

[TeamNausea]

Wow those are insane prices....

[AcemanPB]

Well it's not like they are spending their own money. Just our own hard earned tax dollars, no biggie.

[StickFigurSicide]

Yea really-

Im kinda ticked because they are taking advantage of US, not the police. OUR tax dollars are paying for these inflated and rediculous prices.

I think they may be prices for many at a time, like you get 20 hoppers for that price.

PepperBall Launchers fire projectiles at a muzzle velocity of 350 to 380 fps

OUCH!

This is a theory I have. There are usually lawsuits associated with the use of less-leathal weapons. In fact, by definition, they can cause lethal injuries. I would imagine that the overhead in dealing with these lawsuits is a lot larger than dealing with paintball related injuries, and that makes them more expensive.

And god help the police department that does not use pepperball-approved hardware. Thats a lawsuit waiting to happen.

its not right that they can do that to the government. they know exactly how much they are overpricing the items, but they also know that the gov. has no choice but to buy it.

All we see is the pricing. We have no rationale of the reasons behind it.

I have a bridge to sell these guys. I will also name a star after them.

I did have a word wrong in there, changed it.

Not worth even discussing it further.

The pepperball guns are actually tippman procarbines with a different logo lazer engraved on the body.

Our local police dept got one pepperball setup from teh company because they had to buy one gun in order to be able to buy the balls.

Once they had the first set of equipment, they came to me and bought 3 more set ups for what it cost them to get the initial one.

the bottle it came with was a 7 oz co2 bottle with a regulator on it. They'd get less than 100 shots from it.

They did let me shoot one down the back hallway of the store and it filled the entire store!

The problem was it's a powder and once it settled you couldn't detect it. However once a breeze blew through the door or you tried to sweep it would gas everyone in the store! :P It took about 2 weeks before it finally died out.

Good to hear someone got taken care of properly. Good job Goldie.

The pepperball place apparently offers some sort of insurance and warranty. So if the equipment breaks they cover it, and if you get sued by someone that you shot, they'll back you. So the pepperball people will defend you for using their product.

If you don't use it in the manner specified then they won't back you. So say you use a CO2 bottle or a standard paintball hopper, this frees pepperball from any responsibility.

If I were in this situation, I probably wouldn't mind it if customers used "non approved" equipment, so i didn't have to spend money on lawyers for them! :P
