About 2 months ago I was watching tactical to practical and they were talking about "less lethal" weapons. They showed these paintball guns that security guards use, and they shoot out very hard paintballs that have tear powder in them. If they hit you with one it makes a big cloud of tear powder kind of stuff and your eyes water and you are choking and stuff.

on nickelodeon(sp?) there was a commericial that talked about team red blue and yellow, and the name of it was splat! and there were colored swirls around the title, i could be wrong but it looked like a pb tv show.
this would be cool if it was cause tons of people watch nick

I was just watching Straight Plan For The Gay Man on Comedy Central and they took the gay dude to play paintball. It was airball, but they turned it into a war-type game. It was hilarious actually. They had like 4 guys behind one bunker, and one of them was like "I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!". They all had Dye jerseys on and stuff, but were shooting basic Mags. The team they played were shooting Timmies and I think I saw a DM4.

I saw it on the Real World vs. Road Rules. It was like a target practice mission where you were hanging from a crane and had to hit the most targets you could. It was pretty cool. O yeah and about the Spike TV thing, i havent heard about it but its probably true b/c the owner of Spike TV also owns some paintball organization.
