Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Muzzle control? Not so much… sigh
Meh – I get the point, but paintballers aren’t supposed to be taken seriously 🙂
I’ve played semi pro Pball – those shields are rated for ~1000 fps impact. Regulation fps is ~280-300 for outdoor fields.
It looks stupid, I agree and I’ve tossed plenty of paying customers off our field back in the day for being stupid like this.
But unless those goggles are 10 years old, they won’t flinch from a point blank shot.
AS a side note – check this out – back int eh day it was woods and camo.. nowadays it’s like a real life video game.. damn I’m old 🙂

I give my teammates ALL kinds of shit when they screw up with their muzzle control. A lot of them are former military and such, which makes it extra mandatory to give them the hardest of times possible.
The problems with paintball aside, nothing teaches you about cover and the value of being BEHIND it quite as well as targets that shoot back.
One word: Simmunition 😀
