    Our military already uses paintball in some urban combat training. i strongly doubt israel doing it will have any affect on the general paintball community or public perception.

      I hope not... I am a scenario player and immediately became concerened that conclusions could be jumped to about, well, about the obvious.

      26 hour paintball games that simulate wars/conflicts and highlight squad tactics etc.

      Not to mention the whole night vision thing


      Perhaps I should have posted this in the scenario forum.....

        I understand our military uses it but some might be more drawn to speaking out about paintball if it's being toted as the guerilla warfare training mechanism of choice in the middle east

          i hear ya, but i'd be more worried about stupid stuff like this (even though its a little funny) hurting paintballs image.

            uhhh, yeah you might be right about that. The yahoo news will fade away but youtube is full of junk like that and is readily available to anyone with an internet connection....


            I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope nobody tries to put the Kibosh on Scenario Paintball.

              AGD Contract?

              I wonder.... Did the Izraeli army know to contract for some tac 1's and sydarms?


              Or,

              Did they go with Spec Ops?!




              Maybe that new plastic Tippmann that can be customized to look like several real firearms..



              Can't say I'm up to date with what military organizations actually use... Anyone know?

                To the OP, not an issue at all.

                  I'm sure they probably either use simunition or specialized trainer guns. Don't forget they are phasing out M-16's and I really don't think any paintball guns look or feel like a Tavor assault rifle.

                  Btw, go Israel!

                    that Tavor is a beast. simunitions seem most sutable. there is the FN 303, which AGD had a hand in.

                      Didn't the IDF purchase one of the runs of Sydarms once upon a time?
