People who play by the rules and dont shoot people after the game is over should not be be under scurtinization about what other stupid people do.

People who do drive by paintball shootings and shoot road signs give the rest of us bad names. personally I think thepeopl who stuff like that should be taken out and get shot 250 time with a pb gun. Fps up to 385.

Perhaps that will make them stop and lift this dark cloud over paintballing.

These characters are outside of the paintball mainstream (if that's not an oxymoron), but I'll bet it's these types that are getting bad press for paintball in general.

Kinda like the people that shoot road signs are always giving rec shooters a bad name.

Really 1 out of 2000. I didnt think the statistics were that high. But what ever.

i dont understand the people that do that vieolent games (if u can call it that) have been around since the first cave man wanted to practice his hunting skill wit a bow and arrow and the roman had gladiators. so i think they sould mind ther own bussiness when it comes to recreational accedents that happe one out of every like 2000 games

It's the anti-gun crowd looking to demonize anything even remotely related to war, soldiering, or guns. The same people that think GI Joe in inappropriate and want FPSs blamed for school shootings.:crazy:

Yeah, the author should be writing about something like that. Which is more dangerous, a small plastic ball with paint (non-toxic paint I might add) inside or a 2 foot razor sharp knife?

Hm. Id have to say a .303 bullet. Ive been shot in the head once with a paintball and i was light headed for about 5 minutes. ONce again i say this author is completely biased. But what can we do about it except write on forum boads saying how much of a [email protected]$#% she is!

[PvtJohnson]

Ya you can buy bullets at Wallmart. Whats more dangerous? A .303 shell or a paintball.

So do I, but I get lumped in there as a militia-training gun wacko for airsoft. I only care if they start trying to pass laws outlawing it, other than that... mox nix.

Actually it's middle-class Idiots (with a capital I) doing the drive-bys. Hillbillies and inner-city kids can't afford a paintball gun... though they are sold at Wal-Marts now...

[Dark_Dirk6565]

i resent that, im well under 30 but i still follow the rules so do my friends i think only like hillbillys would do sum thing like that
