.68 Marbles could kill someone, as i recall,cross bows fire at around 300 FPS.
so I would think a .68 shot to the head could kill someone.,

Yup I agree.

A quote from our good friend Newton...

The question.. is a paintball marker capable of accelerating something of significantly larger mass than a paintball to 300 fps? With the right mods.. most definately.

I think if paintball were given a bad name it would have happened by now. Think about it...you have kids accidentally killing their friends because they saw it on TV or on a video game or something like that...then you get people *****ing about gun control and that kinda stuff...if people were so afraid of it paintball would already have a bad name...

I could care less about scenario gun but I think one of the worst things was that Budweiser commercial where a bunch of people were shooting a ref and nobody was wearing anything better than shop goggles. As for 8 mile, did you really expect anything intelligent out of Eminem?

well if you are shot with a regular paintball in the temple and dont get any medical treatment you can die...especially if it bounces...then its more like a rock hitting you at around 300 fps...so we all hav a slight risk of death but there is a risk of death in anything...i mean you could be sitting on your couch and a bird could die and fly through your window and go into your temple and kill you...but it rarely happens if ever.paintball is ony dangerous because idiots make it dangerous by doing stupid things...

There are plenty of things that can be made dangerous by doing stupid things. And there are always going to be some people in the world who try to regulate these things out of existence because they think they know whats better for us (and they think they have some sort of right to tell us what is better for us) than we do. For example, negligent use of a paintball gun (or any gun for that matter) would certainly be dangerous. Of course, negligent use of any electronic device (e.g. while in the bathtub) is also dangerous. Its dangerous for me to inhale tobacco fumes. Its dangerous for me to secure a slick fiberglass board to my feet and slide down a snow covered glacier while on it. Its dangerous to put a gasoline engine under my nuts and cruise through traffic without a helmet. Its dangerous for me to tie my hand to the back of a big pissed off animal, sit on his back, and let him out of his cage.
Its dangerous for me to consume mass quantities of alcohol in bars where fat single women with hot friends are present.

But people do these things anyway and we shouldn't be stopped from doing them in a free country. This is a country in which we are allowed to freely make asses of ourselves. After all, if we weren't, what would happen to the Green Party?
