Not following the logic there.

I cant believe her dad actually told her to get the paintball gun if someone broke in... thats lunacy.

Why is the father a lunatic for telling his daughter to call 911 and get the paintball gun for protection?

hmm lets see.

if the burgler did have a gun, whats the liklyhood of him shooting at her for no reason? ok, now what about if she pointed a paintball gun at his face?



if your gonna hit him, make sure you take him down, atleast for a little bit

My two home defnese weapons are, of course, my mag loaded with rufus t-balls and my trusty Paul Chen Golder Oriole series katana.

This is too funny!! :rofl: The ironic thing is that I've thought of this often and first I would have my Asian Short Haired Long-Legged Fighting Poodle to defend me (LOL!) and I did have a sword on standby before I started playing paintball....but now, I guess I'd use my soccer skills on his...I guess I'd go for the paintball gun.

honnestly if i was the robber and somebody shot me with a paintball gun i would have stood there looking at the splater marks going "........WHAT THE HELL?*sees store owner pull out desert eagle* oh....*runs*"

The point has been made before, in this thread http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...ght=pepperball

A paintball marker is not a good idea for self defense. A) It is likely not effective against many many criminals. B) Firing at someone, even in defense, will likely count as escalating force - if the person you shoot at uses deadly force in response to what they perceived as a deadly threat they may be able to justify it in court.

I urge those of you reading this to seriously consider the risks of a paintball gun in self defense, and the shortcomings of it. As a last resort, something is better than nothing, but what if you turn a "harmless" break in into something far more deadly. Do also note that you will have committed assault, and you will be sued in civil court. You will loose (highly likely) - our civil justice system sucks.

If you feel the need to have something for self defense that fires a projectile, I strongly suggest you look into more lethal means. I understand not everyone can do that... but at least seriously consider the use of a paintball marker as a defense weapon, calmly before you make the wrong decision filled with panic.

ooh arent we a biggited little jerk. i take high offense to that. were so racist and bigoted down here the black guy living next door to me in this dorm quakes in his boot lemme tell you(if there were mopre sarcasm dripping off this i would short my keyboard out).

i hate ignorance on a grand scale. confratulations youve just accomplished two things. youve made me dislike you for one, and youve shown what a biggoted little jerk you are.

You are ignorant about the law in TX, because you cannot just shoot someone simply for being on your land, esp w/o proving that you faced life threatening danger. The only way to cover up would be to plant a knife on them before the cops come. By doing that, your crime would be considered premeditated. I dont like ignorance coming from ppl who have no clue what they are talking about.

and you are the perfect example of what kind of buttholes live in TX. The crime happened in Louisiana and I said the south.....now your putting words in my mouth that I said TX specifically.

In case you havent noticed since youve likely not been anywhere outside of TX, the south IS generally (in comparison to other states) racists, segregated, and oh uh...bigots.

you sir, may change your useful posts to "6"


exactly what i said.

put it this way.


make sure he cant get up for atleast a while...



even pepperballs, some guy was shot 80 times before he was subdued. yes, he had his hands on his head, but he didnt get on the ground. so the effectiveness is still questionable

the "black" guy living next door or just the guy living next door. You have proven my point and you really are an aggie.

BTW if I shot a burgler with a pball gun I would def go for the eyes, the ears, any really sensitive part.... Without a mask on, a pball gun can do a lot of damage....without killing the person of course

[bleachit]

blinding someone with a paitnball gun could get you in a lot of legal and civil trouble

[NigelF]

This all sounds pretty crazy to me. If I'm going to be aggressive towards someone that could potentially kill me, I will not be doing it with a paintball gun. I've been shot with a paintball gun. Whenever we play those scenario games where they take a volunteer from each team to be the "president" (can only be killed with a headshot at my field) I'm always him... you know why? Because paintballs dont hurt, they sting. And I'm certain I'm not the only one who can take the pain.
