Thats a bad a$$ looking paintball gun! The $600 price tag is on the cost prohibited side. I think I may just soot the dogs with a bb gun as someone else suggested. It may not leave a paint mark on the animal. But hopefully they'll remember the pain and wont comback to my property for more.

Last I checked posting that you are going to break the law is against the forum rules, Comprende?

.

How I'm going to break the the law? Please explain. If you take the time to re-read my post you'll understand that I'm not trying to kill the dogs. If I really wanted to do so, I would've done it already.

they will say that shooting a dog with a paintball is abuse, animal cruelty etc
they will say you should pay for a private animal control person to capture them or something

... you can usually get CO2 fills at welding supply shops (though you may have to supply the proper fill station adapter) or sporting good stores/paintball fields.


Thats cool!:thumbsup: Does the gun come with the "thing" that holds the balls (paintball ballls that is,LOL)?

Shooting stray animals (unmarked collar) is not animal cruelty. You can use rocksalt, pepper spray, etc as long as they are on your property and not tagged. We used to live on 10 acres and would get wandering animals from time to time. We were allowed to use rock salt, especially since we had a horse to protect from rabid animals.

Rock salt is usually only lethal at less than 5 yards - otherwise is just like a bb gun with a spread. It hurts, bit is not fatal or long term damaging

Nope. You'd have to select something in the "Loader" drop-down. The VL 200 Blk is fine.

We have 5 horses, 6 sheep, 1 ram, around 15 goats (+ kids), 4 dogs (2great danes, 1 bloodhound, 1 miniature chiwawa), 1 pet turkey, 1 rooster and 14 chickens. The entire perimeter of the 10 acres is fenced with field fence (goat fence). The bottom 2 feet of the fence has chicken wire all the way around. The reason being is I dont want another animal to come to our property and bring a disease or parasites with them. I'm trying to watch out for the animals we have. The problem is the dogs dig underneath the fence to get to my property. So, not only do I have to chase them out. But then after I do so, I have to go find out how they got in and fill the hole back up.

shooting a dog with a BB rifle would be.

If you want to properly take care of the animals...the police in your area would be the people to contact WHETHER OR NOT THEY HANDLE IT. They can advise you on what your rights and limitations are.

It is not illegal in many areas to use non-lethal force against strays. Hell, it's legal to kill them in some places. Animals without tags coming on to your property are fair game in my eyes.

Humiliation is you thinking you are some kind of real marine. Much of your statements you think are macho are embarrasing for any man to hear, yet alone a soldier. It's great cannonfodder on a forum though where many think that is what it's all about.

Trust me if I am making statements here or in real life I can take whatever flak comes with that. I have posted both the good and bad things about my life here...pictures, stories, etc. I don't have anything I need to hide or anything I need to create.

It's clear though you are trying your hardest to prove you are the hard soldier at home. Killing pets though with no matter how badass a BFG you have is a pretty pussy move in most people's book. Also your ideas on hunting with less than ideal weaponry is much like a retarded kid always pushing doors that say pull...sometimes they do open....much of the time it's dark comedy to watch.

I will say you are an entertaining little guy though.

Also you can call animal control when they have their collars on and they can handle it.

Sniping a dog with a paintgun can still cause permanent injury/death to it.

ok two thing. first, reading comprehension is important. if you'll bother to read, the OP says that the collars don't have tags on them. second, if fired from a long distance, a paintball shouldn't do too much damage.

yes, but that would get paint on the animal


Thats what I want. I want the dogs to go home (where ever the fck home is) and show the owners that they've been shot with a paintball gun.

In this day and age, you will get sued for shooting the dogs. Animal cruelty. Its better to buy a 6 dollar slingshot at Wal-Mart and hit them with a small rock. Or maybe a low powered spring operated bb pistol. Wal-mart has one of those for $15.

But anyways a Tippman 98 custom with a flat line barrel will be your best bet for a not to expensive sniper style paint ball marker.

Once again keep in mind, since you are shooting at a small dog, you risk killing or seriously injuring it with a marker. 300fps HURTS.

First thinking before posting is important. I was responding to his original post where the dogs were said to have collars.

Also regardless of SHOULD cause damage or not, the potential is there. There are better methods for this.

The OP should talk to the local law enforcement and find out what his rights are.

Many people confuse the laws on wild / feral animals to include stray pets.

Maybe you can hire adairusmc to just shoot your neighbors instead. That seems like a much better solution.
