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 "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.
