First of all, at 300 FPS, a paintball doesn't move all that fast, and being
round, the velocity rapidly drops of to the point that you can catch 'em
barehanded. Second of all, anyone who's not a complete idiot wears eye
protection and a groin cup. Third of all, a paintball just ain't going to
go up the optic nerve's slot and into the brain, it's .68 of an inch in
diameter, which is to say, nearly seven tenths of an inch. The counties
where paintball has been banned, have banned mostly because of a phobia
about anything resembling a gun, rather than any actual injuries that
occured on real paintball fields.

Buddy..I dunno how you were playing but you seem not to know
anything about the risks of paint ball...that sport has been
forbidden in several countries due to it's dangers.
If a Paint Ball should hit an eye...UGH, goodbye, eye...and possible:
Goodbye Brain, too....those things fly FAST, ya know.
And if it should hit your balls...boy, THAT will hurt...and if you're
unlucky, it will rip a chunk out or crush one of them!
So, don't go around saying that Paint Ball is without risk...
