Too bad they're so inaccurate but I could see a use for the pepper balls if you wanted to flush someone out of a contained area like a room. Do they make any paint balls with glow in the dark paint? I was wondering what to do with my paintball stuff since I don't play anymore. Think I'll hang on to it to see what develops but rest assured in case of real emergency I'll be reaching for old Mossy first.

I think some aren't reading the responses I made as I never said it wasn't a viable option, Thanks for the assumption MOD now go back and check my responses~

If your shooting an attacker and it milk shakes meaning one paint ball explodes in the barrel then you have to take the barrel off and clean it out. Also a milk shaked. Pepper ball will literally back fire on you.

I see the potential that you speak of. But you'll have to crank up that muzzle velocity somehow.
I'll stick with my old Hungarian .22 air rifle. That old dog still pumps out 800-900 fps. If I tune it up and switch to pba ammo I could get 1000 fps. The more power rifles will give you up to 1600fps. Enough to take down a small wild hog.
you should always consider you have one shot with your pellet gun before reload and charge, and with these pain ball guns you can just keep a rippen at your target until they can take no more

For my rifle you are correct. But, air rifles have evolved just as paint ball guns have.. This one runs about $1000 and can go full auto.
I still prefer my conventional weapons for lethal force.edit on 5-3-2013 by jibeho because: (no reason given)

While we're on this fun topic check this out.
.357 145 grain air rifle that is also a repeater. No bolt action. Scratch that it is bolt action.
Behold. I first saw this at Shot Show a couple of years ago

Actually a light polymer with the same texture as Paintballs poured solid would probably be as effective as the bean bag gun's police use.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the IDF use these in riot control situations in Palestine instead of live rounds.
Israel's military has acknowledged mistakes in the boarding of a Gaza-bound aid ship, including using the wrong intelligence and sending soldiers onto the ship armed with paintball guns.
Israel's storming of the pro-Palestinian aid ships left nine people dead and sparked an international outcry.
