I am still very much alive and unharmed. Your example is also a professional one, played by people willing to participate, and under control of those who know what they're doing. Don't assume that anyone who's going to drive around, shooting one of these at people for "fun" is going to follow the same rules.
This is your eye.... this is your eye vs paintball
I think you misunderstood my stance on using paintball markers outside a controlled environment. I never condone this.
My intent was to dispel some misinformation and hysteria that seems to be building against this sport because of some really really stupid people.
