It's not violent and the guns aren't even powerful. It fires a bath bead for crying out loud. It's just like tag, people aren't outlawing the game of tag. The game is great excercise, fun, and has an extremely low injury rate.

But the fact remains, it's a GUN.

Call it a gun if you wish the fact of the matter is it's not dangerous. The 'guns' fire 300 FPS on average which won't even break a window in most situations. It stings getting shot yes, doesn't mean you're going to die. I've felt worse pain playing street hockey and getting shot with a ball there. It's not really firing bullets, if anything it's closer to an air cannon than a gun. But who cares, I'm glad your here to keep the cap guns out of my future childrens' hands....I wouldn't want them playing cowboys & indians they might get hurt.

See where I'm getting at? You're a violent person! Hockey? FIRE? COWBOYS AND INDIANS?!!

Yay for lectures on morality and making up your own words. Not only can you imply that everyone that engages in harmless entertainment are inferior animals but you can do it while making up words!

YOU SAVAGES! Simulated violence is t3h evil. This world used to be a happy place. It had flowery meadows and rainbow skies and rivers made of chocolate where the children danced and laughed and played with gumdrop smiles.

Way to go!! :|:|:|

I know... sounds like you're dead inside.

Anyways, I was trying to keep it light.

I have my opinion, you have yours, enjoy the weekend and don't pay too much attention to these clowns.

So now we're horrible people for playing hockey, too? Its a SPORT!! You can play a competative sport without being a "violent person".

You, on the other hand, are an unintelligent person.

in paintball, you can hide behind trees, bushes, plywood, nets, etc.... and we all know none of these work to stop real bullets...

----------------------------------------------

I didn't know that a tree would not stop a bullet.

;)


FYI: AK 47 round can pierce through a 3 meter piece of wook... i was surprised too, but saw it on the military channel.... this was a big problem in vietnam... lots of soldiers didn't know that bullets go through trees

If you think you are all hard playin paintball, go join the Army....

i agree with you if you are talking about the paintball where you are "trying" to simulate military tactics.... but when i hear "paintball", i'm thinking speedball and the sport of paintball... not "woods" ball.

in paintball, you can hide behind trees, bushes, plywood, nets, etc.... and we all know none of these work to stop real bullets... if you think you are hard for playing paintball... you ARE a loser. i just play for fun...

I'm sure you could find one of those shirts at some white trash site or redneck rest stop.

The point is, we as humans are intelligent enough to avoid such violent behavior and completely capable of communicating what's right or wrong, yet, we still resort to building weapons with the intent of destruction and disruption of peace by masking the true purpose by saying it's for defense. Without these weapons and with proper parenting and education, we can put an end to such brutality and focus more on promoting world peace and hapiness.

The last time i played some paintball, my left hand was bruised, had cuts on it form the paint ball. SO i was bruised and bleeding, plust my middle finger was all swollen from playing that day. The pain was well worth it though, ( it was an indoor practice facility[ not very well heated]) as the next time i played, which was in a tournament, i didn' t get such up as badly.
