If you come to a walkon here and bring armor you will be lit up beyond belief before a game has even started. It's like a peanut mask. Yeah it has benefits but if you're a regular player then you just cant get away with it.

Whatever the upper limit of paintball mask structural integrity is, paintballs should never be fired at other people in excess of 300 fps.  It is a bad idea to play anyplace where the markers are not chronographed to a safe speed.

Any close range hit on the lens is reason to replace the lens.

I have 4-year old scars from playing in my back woods. It's not cool when a paintball tears your shirt and draws blood. This happened on my arm and my chest. Non-chronoed markers are bad news but masks cannot be broken by the force of a standard paintball gun being shot at the outside of a mask. Paintball masks are designed like fire-fighter masks. They are tested to see how much force it take to shatter them, then that level of force is cut in half and labeled the safe limit. Paintball masks are safe to about 600 psi. If you take your mask off and shoot it from the inside, you should throw it away because shooting the inside of he lens compromises the integrity of the mask. 
Paintball guns are capable permanent damage to eyes and face and have done this many times. There has never been a case of faulty gear (masks) causing damage. Every case was because a person wasn't wearing gear properly or not wearing any at all. They can kill a person but they never have. CO2 tanks have killed a few people though. I did a college paper on paintball safety. A +Big smile  

Potato guns are not cool. They are extremely painful. Nerf cannons are bad enough.

Lol armour.
Oh and on the subject of firing silly things I've sen an electrical screwdriver getting fired out of a SP1 (with a round end with a cone indent pretty much the same size as the barrel) first time it got stuck in the frame of another SP1 (like it stuck into the metal) It went into wood so far that we needed pliers to get it out. Oh and it went completely into a cinderblock. It was incredibly stupid and dangerous but epic.

So potatoe gun guy what you have suggested is an epic fail.

agreed 10000% i know people who have gotten winded from a nerf football (well as much as would fit in the patato gun) out of a patato gun just imaging paint balls hitting you at that speed. and to prove my point patato gun guy if u wanna see what i mean (because i cant say go try since that would induce violents even tho its twards an idiot) "dont try it" wink wink

Not sure what exactly you are saying here since it doesn't even resemble middle school grammer, but in all fairness I'm not the one to be talking.
 
But, I assume you're saying that you basically want to blast the crap out of people, without actually using a RPG-7.
 
Gotta tell ya, the whole paintball maker thing... works pretty well for that very purpose.

Well, Tippman, can you make a paintball rocket launcher that can be sold to the public instead of making our own? I have an idea.....but it may be a wee bit expensive.... in the way of co2. xD 2 Co2 canisters attatched to a 2-3ft long tube with a firing mechanism... Just a rough thought but it migt work.... Thanks!Shocked
 
he was asking tippmann to do this and I was just informing him that they already did. to some
degree... um as far as affordablity that is a seperate issue.
 
and its only 600 at  www.exocticsportz.com
