Motorcycle helmet visors are pretty tuff (can withstand a rock and debris kicked up off of vehicle tires). I would be more worried of shell and paint getting around the visor.

A paintball travels at approx 200mph, assuming this idiot chrono'd his gun. The mass of a paintball is 3.2g (ish), that would equate to a pretty decent sized rock on the road...Originally posted by nerraD
I ride bikes, I'd be worried about getting hit in the visor at 200mph by a 3.2g rock... heck, a big bug rocks you hard enough at 150mph.
Yes, I would also be very worried about shell getting around the visor. Most visors are not designed to seal against such things.Comment

I don't how many times I have ignored this thread thinking it was some stupid stunt done for TV or bunch of kids fooling arround. I can't express my feelings right now after watching this video because I know that by the time I'm finished I would have recieved a life time ban. I know a lot of really good cops. I like cops even if they are pulling me over for speeding, again. As a father and paintball player this video sickens me. Sure the kid is smiling because he knows that Dad or who ever is shooting is trying to hit the padding, but he's still scared about getting hit in a soft place because he's wiggleing. He knows it's going to hurt like the dickens because it's happened before. I can't say this is child abuse as I'm not privy to enough information. What I can say is that it is wrong and the person doing it should be made to think about his actions. It's one thing to shoot someone on the field, because they are there to be shot and shoot back. That kid is just there to be shot and that's wrong. You can put any spin on it that you like it's still wrong. Give the kid the "proper" safety equipment and a marker. Take him out on the field and go 1 on 1 with him. Chrony 250s to start and slowly work your way up to 280s. The high point of stupidity in this whole thing is that the guy thought it would be a great idea to put the video(s) on the net. People with this level of common sense should be taken right out of the gene pool. When my son becomes old enought to play paintball, you can be damn well sure that I'm not going to introduce him to the sport like this.Comment

When I have kids and get them into paintball, I am going to let them know what it feels like before they play. The last thing I want is for them to get all shooken up like a lot of noobs do and rip their mask off. However, I'm also gonna let the kids shoot me haha. I want them to know what that feels like too!Comment

True enough. Had a dragon fly put a large crack in my visor.Darren LoewenComment

Thats kind of sickining. Where the hell do you get videos like that from? You sicko.
Mabe the video would make you look less psycopathic if it showed the kid saying that he wanted to get shot with a paintball gun first, but thats just wierd. Way to be a psyco.

Good idea poor judgement? My son wants to play but he does not know how hard a paintball can hit. The thought does cross my mine about taking him out back and shoot him a couple of time. Just to let him know that paintball can sting a little.Comment
