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”
…..and I’m right back to thinking about the theory behind someone getting one of these and maxing out their “lethal” slider.
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.
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
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”
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
People wanna feel something when reading fiction. Sex is a shortcut, so is anger. The kinds of things that rile you up like injustice, sadness, bullying, etc. are kinda depressing and hard to see overall. If you aren’t indulging in that “oh man I missed out on school romance and teen love” market then it’s probably pretty hard to sell people on watching early teen characters do anything. They’re dumb, ugly, awkward, un not too charming.
So all you get is the bland self-insert feeling things for the first time as a standin
Too many in my family are “busy”, and they’re utterly oblivious to that kind of thing. Grew up without much internet exposure, small town folk w/ dialup into the late 00’s when they finally got a DSL line at 5 mb.
All this stuff is totally new, and they’ve gotten a taste of it here and there but shut their mind off from seeing any of it. THey just avoid the truth because it’s uncomfortable. Then when we try to warn them they start clamping their ears
I just can’t get over this, it’s amazing. This may be meant for a guy in faggotville where he’s gotta have that pump action co2 marker for a defensive gun in the home, because a box of THESE in the trunk of your patrol car is total lawsuit fuel when officer janqueesha accidentally loads them up and punches right through some kid’s temple for calling her a fat pig
“hey grab uh less lethal, I wanna light that house with my WP rounds, then then punch through the tangos leaving it with the “ballers””
“uh…..julio we gotta take em alive”
“don worry ‘iss less lethal”
So you could just fire off these things and “melt” AL structures from afar like the wicked witch of the west? Sounds funny
The centerfire stuff isn’t even their forte, from the looks of it, which is why I’m pretty sure this WILL have limited adoption in the moneyed departments willing to splurge on fun trinkets. They have .68 cal ammo, which seems to offer the most utility for them.
Also note the “offensive projectile”, which is a really fun concept when you think about it. Imagine a jurisdiction that can’t rock a lethal arm who WANTS to be able to kill with it, so they look for an armor piercing, lethal munition for their “nonlethal” paintball gun
Maybe the small ones, but I betcha a whole lot of departments are tossing this in their shelving just because they keep passing drone vids to each other
Just imagine the nightmare of having to explain to a total internet-inept parent why they shouldn’t be okay w/ their 12 yo daughter wanting a “better phone” because “oh, she’s just talking to her friends and doing silly dances on there, it’s nothing bad, YOU guys always see the worst in the world, you need to lighten up!”
Lady…..agh
OOh, this is a great way to torture someone. I’ll return emails to the libshit lady whining about how we turned off “clean energy recharging” on our ipads by ONLY pinging her at midnight her time, so she can use that nice clean energy
Really want these to be functional but I doubt they work on anything more than energy transference shocking the crap out of whatever they hit. Fun idea, cute marketing, nice home grown biz, but come on……
Shooting at motors and joints with powdered magnets hoping it gums them up? With a 9mm? At $2 a round? Just have someone sling some 00 buck at it
