ok i no this sounds xtreme but if i had the money id probaly do it. have to planes full of ppl kinda near each other. then drop em off at the same time and the ppl fall out and go skydivin. every1 has a marker and shoot each other. u could use crappy guns so if u drop em it wouldnt matter. though u would have to aim lower than the person since ur fallin to hit. idk its just an idea i was board.
I'm not going to call the hospital, because you won't learn anything if I do.

theres so many safety issues with your idea also pedestrians or ppl in that area could get killed. IMO waste of paint and rentign a plane to try it. And tons of legal issues you would have to go through and plane owners probley wouldn't let you.

That paintball would (from your perspective) fly up.  not to mention the fact that as you drop the pressure in your tank will decrease.

and as you take off from the ground the pressure in your tank will increase.

Don't think You'd kill anyone with the falling paintballs. Terminal velocity of a paintball is really low.

 But the tank pressure and the falling gun/tank WOULD be able to kill people.

There are way too many reasons why this wouldnt be a good idea. Many of which have been posted.

good point. I value my equipment enough not to just drop it. Except in some sort of an emergency. Some people cringed as I tossed my Tribal into the netting when a bulk cylinder blew its valve off at the field.
