A-5 Full Auto/ Quick video!!!

Second Video, My kid is fine! LOL

LOL, no, he wanted to do it. He shoots me all the time. There was no marks or bruising. He has his own gun now, so we play all the time together in the back yard. Start them young.

LOL, no, I dont want to hurt him, but did want him to get the full scale of what he wanted to do (playing paintball). I nicked his shoulder, because I was laughing at him, as you can see in the beginning of the video he was all smiles, (when the ball hit the helmet). I have to give my kid some credit, he's a awesome kid, and not scared to try new things. You should see him on his motorcycle, he can do wheelies already.

It's way thicker than the paintball mask, If it can withstand a motercycle crash at 200 mph (Head First, paved road), I'm pretty sure it can take a paintball at 40 yrds away. Anyways, We fired 300 rounds at the helmet before we put anyone in it, and it's still intact. I also lowered the velocity, to make sure it would be safe. He's been shot playing, so it's not the first time he's been hit.

To be totally honest, its pretty accurate, but you loose some of accuracy when you go full auto (Plus my son was shooting it, to much weight for him). As you can see from the video, you say its all over the place, but each ball hit it's mark. It's great for laying down cover fire, or rushing. There to scared to poke there head up to look, because your laying down so much paint.

Thank you, I saw on these forums where they teach you how to digital camo your gun, pretty cool to see the transformation, but I'm not sure if I have the skill or the time to complete such a task. I would need to practice before I would try that on my gun.

that boys a soilder!

So, what your saying is that a motorcycle helmet is less protection than a paintball mask? Even though the motorcycle helmet is a complete head protection, with a visior that was regulated by DOT, to be able to withstand more stress and punishment, than a top of the line paintball mask. Your telling me my paintball mask would hold up better in a motorcycle accident? I know its not the same situation, but give me a break, his head was totally protected along with his throat (AIRWAY). He's going to get scares and broken bones as he grows up. My son rides his bike in the street, do I have to put bubble rap down? My son has enough courage to get shot and take it, he understands to shoot someone in a game is the possibility to get shot back. He's been playing since he was 5 so, he has a couple of years under his belt already, so thank you for your concern, but he is totally fine, with no marks from that occurance. He continues to play and he wants to go Pro when he gets older, so who am I to stop a kid who is pushing for something he loves to do. I'm a father first, but I will also be the first one to protect my kid from harms way (Its my job for work and home). I will support my kid in anything he wants to do inlife, and if he wants to get shot with a paintball for a sub-career, I will be there to cheer him on.

i can see being unnecessarily alarmist about this kind of thing, because we all know the paintball world is full of morons
but you are getting personal with this guy when he is scientifically right about the helmet. they are tested/rated for high speed impacts of much higher energy than paintball.
still, i agree partially because next thing you know there will be vids posted of some idiot wearing shop glasses.

I have seen that video on a bunch of forums...
I would have to agree with both sides
A motorcycle helmet Im sure will stop paintballs, but that is not what they are made for just buy him a jt full head mask like 30 bucks and then he is really safe. I would rather be safe then sorry. But the smile on his face is great good job on starting him young I wish i got into paintball when I was young
