Well this is kind of old news...to me anyways...brand new to yall...but we returned to school  on monday and as I talked to my friend Lance he was tellin me that his little brother was being blamed down at the middle school for shooting out a window with a paintball marker....now i cant understand how this is even possible...but apparently paint was found at the window so they went to blame him for it....i cant understand how a paintball...at any velocity (allowable by any marker, I mean) would be able to break a window...especially the middle school ones...which are about half an inch thick or so...who knows....maybe a frozen one possibly....but they blamed it on the paintballers that the administrators knew of but didnt get any info on who did it....even if it was a paintball that somehow busted a window, it still bothers me that they suspect the more avid paintballers that would never even think about doin this...you can guess that if it was anyone, it was probably some kid that got a paintball marker for christmas and just wanted to shoot up a building or other piece of property....they never went so far as to question any of us up at the high school although we thought that they might but as of right now I think they've basically just dropped the investigation....anyways...it just kinda gets to me that the sport is still coming off wrong to the public....i've seen it on TV before on some reality shows and didnt think too much of it...but when it happened locally it just kinda erked me.....o well....

He's your brother, defend him. Even just write a letter to them, and explain the facts about paintball, safety, and velocity to them, they obviously don't know, and maybe it would be educational for them, and help them catch the real culprit.

If he's not in any actual trouble, the let it be, and if he is, I don't see how, because they don't actually have any proof that it was him.

Maybe you're confused, my friend......what I meant was that the kid being blamed was not my brother.....and by "laying out the facts" i mean explaining the physics behind what they think happened in an attempt to remove the paintball variable from this equation.....understand.....werd

Hell, if it was my brother they suspected and I knew it was my friends I would tell them in an INSTANT.   Fortunetly few of my real friends play and they are too smart to do crap like that and even the others are smarter then that.

hahaha, i can just see it...

/start sceene: High school student with paintball gun on school proparty near window with the velocity turned up, friend recording.

Student: Okay, now this is my brass eagle maurader with the velocity turned up as much as possible with out blowing the marker itsself up.  Now I am going to demonstrate that it is IMPOSSIBLE to break one of these windows.

/student turns to window fires at it, misses the first five shots because its a BE and finally scores a hit...window breaks...

Student: Ah, **edited**!  Come on man!  Lets find a different place to film before we get caught!!!

/curtan

just a thought of what would happen if you tried that...lol
