Paintball 'Terrorists'

Say good bye to every graduate student in engineering, and most of the rest of them for good measure.

Oh and by the way I'm sure 90% of those students go on to become US citizens.

LMAO
Does that mean I have to get rid of all of my Mexicans?

Seriously though... doesnt matter if your smart or work hard. Break the law, and you should suffer the consequenses. Anyone who has let their visa expire are breaking the law.

Law enforcement and military trainers do not use conventional paintball markers or rounds. A paintball marker designed for playing paintball asa sport would be quite useless in training you how to fire small arms weapons. The tactics are totally different. Except maybe CQB tactics. But other than that, a paintball marker that is designed for the sport is useless because of it's inferior accuracy and range. Sorry, playing with a Tippmann or Tac-One will not in any way make you able to be a crack soldier with an AK-47, AN-94, AR-15, etc.

You are completely wrong. Let's wait until we have first hand experience in a subject before trying to discuss it.

In the police academy, we used paintball pistols to train with. At a local paintball field here in south jersey, over 30 law enforcement agencies use a CQB house to train with. This once again involves the use of paintball pistols.

At this same facility, local law enforcement use paintball (with Tippmans) to develop teamwork skills and tactics.

did paintballing start in the military? as training, then become mainstream?

My feelings on students over 21 here in this country from terrorist nations should have their student visas revoked and deported. They seem to be the bombers. Eliminate the threat before it becomes a problem.

...and that would be why you have no authority whatsoever on this subject.

then again, there is a large difference between law enforcement and the military. law enforcement officers mostly use pistols and avoid firing unless they are forced to (a stray bullet knocking a 6 year old off his tricycle wouldnt go over well). and if an officer is forced to fire, it is generally at close range.

nope. i thought by this point pretty much everyone on forums knew that... it started as a game of capture the flag.

paintball starting & training

Cattle markers.

well paintball originated with the Forestry Service marking trees...as for terrorists, they can and could cover up training in the woods using paintballs as training aids...do not under estimate what can and can not be done...our Country is at War...observation on something out of the ordinary should be reported to the Authorities, and let them evaluate...
