Bwahahahahaha!!! I hope this is a joke. Otherwise, I'll join you in a heartfelt verse of Kumbayah.

I think he's trolling like he did when he claimed he writes spyware for a living

He tends to troll every gun thread that he sees so I think this might actually be a pet issue for him.

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

Wow, thats gotta be one of the top five lamest things I have ever read on ATOT.

I like "environmentally helping methods".

"Yo, you guys up for a mad game of beach cleanup? Thats wicked fun."

And commonsensically? Really?

You know, or at least you would if you were half as smart as you talk, that the whole paintball thing is far more related to mans competitive nature and his oh so club-toting past than it is some insastiable thirst for violence right?

I don't like bowling, but have never been called a pussy for hanging out in back drinking beer instead of tossing a ball down a lane.

You really should try it sometime, its a great way to relive stress and vent a little, omg, but wait, that makes me a SICK MURDERING SOB!!!!

I hit those poor wooden pins with my ball of testicular might and smooshed them in my neverending quest for violence!!!!

WOE BETIDE US ALL!!!!

Yeah, what he said, maybe he aint a pussy, but instead he is getting your sis's pussy right now!

As someone with a married sister I find these jokes HIGHLY offensive! ;)

OP, have you considered Cafe Press? You could probably set up your own store with one design and buy it from yourself.

I believe if my brother in law tried to shoot me with a paintball gun I would return fire with a .45. :laugh:

ROTFL *has trouble getting his breath*.... ROTFL

Paintball is a sport like any other sport, is no more violent than football..... which I'm sure you hate to right?

As long as you play with people you trust, or at a paintball field, there are rules in place to keep you from injury... unless you think little .68" bruises are injuryies... and if you do... I pray there aren't too many of your kind.... our military would be in the crapper for sure.

You shouldn't have to trust someone if you don't engage in such violent acts in the first place. The military are violent people and we shouldn't need them either as all it does is instigate other militaries to fight, totally unnecessary. Why should you get bruises? Is it fun? Is it fun hurting others? No it isn't. Peach and other fruit picking in a nice green field is a lot more healthy fun than competing each other for a KILL.

I say we get the Bin Laden and George Bush together to go pick peaches and other fruit in a nice green field. That would be nice and it would make the world smile.

I've played before. It's alright. I'd rather go mountain biking. Maybe your bro-in-law just isn't a paintball kinda guy?

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. Lower than almost all other sports which is ironic considering how fvcking violent it is. The 'marker' looks no wheres realistic and the paintball impact is hardly deterring from playing again. Sure you get welts/bruises but you can get injured worse skateboarding for crying out loud.....which is ironic because you probably put up 'skate stoppers' on all your curbs and call the police whenever theres "hoodlums" skating near your house/business.

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.
