    In practice, the average mass of a paintball is around 3 grams, or about one tenth of one ounce. You get about 160 paintballs to the pound (weight, not sterling *g*).

    The maximum energy allowed (before the marquer is considered a weapon like a firearm) detemines the weight of the projectile. The velocity is also limited to some extend.

    The "marker" displayed on the website shots well above the limits. In fact, it doesn't fall in the paintball category, but well in the firearms ones (at least this would be the case in belgium). It looks like a shot could easily knock-off someone, and break a mask.
