when cops/military need non lethal weapons and they use rubber bullets, why not used a tricked out marker with some sort of rubber projectile. 30+ bps and 100+ shots without reloads is better than their shotguns. just a thought...

Those rubber balls you're talking about, have some sort of acid in them or something like that.(I'm sure one of those things would hurt worst than 20 paintballs)

??? acid?

Im pretty sure their just hard/semi hard plastic balls. It would still get hurt to get shot with one though.

eforcecore101

no there actully bags that have little platic things in them
and they use pepper balls wich is just like a paintball and when it breaks releases peper spray.

cote_says

there most likely going alot faster out of a shotgun.

eforcecore is right.. they shoot pepper balls at about 400 fps .. they have hard shells and are filled with that pepper spray stuff

but theres always a risk of getting it in the eyes. Rioters are very spontaneous when getting shot at by pepper balls

bluegoose

yeah, but you can hit people in the eyes with almost anything that size and their eyes would get hurt.. my point being that this problem is not relegated to pepperballs

i've seen tons of shows about the riot/hostage situation/etc type lethal weapons, and they are capable of killing people if not used right


i watch too much history channel

What about Jack@$$, they shot those sandbags at Knoxville. It left like a huge bruise for about four days. I would think of that as non-lethal. If not pointed at the eyes.

normally they would just shoot gas into the middle of the crowd, then waite for them to run. Unless people start running towards them, then they will pepper or bean bag them in the lower part of the body. But if they do shoot you in the chest, it feels like you are going to die, or want to, it hurts so bad!!!

That's why they aren't called non-lethal, they are called less-lethal.

Seeing that this has nothing to do with paintball (since you're talking about police non-lethal weapons), this is going into the lounge.
