While going down this rabbit hole, be glad you don’t have to put up with this stuff. I don’t love the idea of trusting my family’s lives to tiny CO2 carts and aging heat damaged paintballs
This whole “self defense paintball gun” thing is funny, because the people who have things worth stealing need defense the most. The rat folk with nothing to lose can afford to scrounge up a gun for $500 and deal with the legal shit when they survive - no assets to defend
uh huh……right. “De-escalating effect” as in “hey this cracker w/ the rapable wife can only give us two welts before we get this party started”
What a crazy world they live in. I just don’t get this. If someone’s worth shooting at like this, in the US legal system, why are you taking this chance? You shoot them w/ paintballs and they can cry to the DA about how they were just there to help you check home security and you assailed the poor black bastards for no reason.
Meanwhile, the chad “sends multiple blocks of lead shredding through their fleshy, vulnerable organs” gets to write the shooot narrative all by himself, backed up by a (hopefully coached not to incriminate) wife and children
Omega chuckle at the idea that predatory hominids would look at your 300 fps double barrel paintball gun and flee, holy shit
Now they’re retarded like this, but you can definitely use something like an A5 as a crowd control tool. In those grumpy riots of 2020 there were some store owners who might have been able to stay un-arsoned if they had one of these and some pepper to make themselves a harder target (or bait them into a lethal confrontation, depends on how full o’piss/vinegar the crowd is. I think they’re easily dissuaded as antifa/jew/pedo/scrawnies)
You have a far better chance of fending off predation when you have 200 rounds, not 2.
…..and I’m right back to thinking about the theory behind someone getting one of these and maxing out their “lethal” slider.
Would be a funny character to write, where he deliberately opts for these things just as a personal challenge to score fatal “hits to sensitive areas of the body, such as the head, neck, or ribs directly over the heart.” His whole thing is TRYING to get that brass ring of marksmanship by plonking the grape with a rubber round and shrugging like “woahhhhhhh it isn’t supposed to dooooooo that”
