Okay I know this is not a posting with a picture, well there is a picture but it is not a gun, I found these listings on Ebay Canada, the seller is listing them under Sporting Goods / paintball / Goggles and masks and calling them Trendy DG Paintballing Glasses. Maybe it's just me but I have seen new players showing up to the field trying to wear construction safety goggles to play with, is this listing not a possible recipe for disaster when some kid orders these to play in the back woods with his friends no knowing any better?

I didn't see anywhere on that site that says rated for field play. I think you misinterpreted the message that is purely a marketing strategy.

...and yes this doesn't belong here...
