    Posted: 08 May 2007 at 7:26pm

So I was watching a Taco Bell commercial where the guy jumps out of the plane with a crunch wrap, and for some reason, I thought of paintball.

Paintball + Skydiving= fun?

I don't know why the hell I thought of this, and I don't care if no one responds I just wanted to get it out there...

Couldn't ever work.

The speed at which you're freefalling wouldn't allow the shots to fly right at all. As soon as they left the marker, they'd be jetted up into the air by the force of the air as you're falling.

 I think. I failed physics, but that seems like the most possible outcome.

So, you know that it could never work and that it is a stupid and pointless idea, and yet you posted it anyway?

Do you realize how much the insurance would be on something like that?

You would go bankrupt before you even touched the paintball gun.

I know it wouldn't work. But just imagine if it did. It would be pretty cool.
