I can see a number of advantages

  1. it's painful, acting as a similar deterrent as rubber shot/beanbags
  2. Paint is messy, people tend to not want to get dirty
  3. The paint can be a proprietary mixture similar to anti-theft dye so even if you wash it out, you've been tagged


idk, why not?

With how the lefties are going today I'd be surprised if cops can use water guns in the next few years..

Paintballs dont hurt near enough to stop anyone from doing anything.

Because theyre normally filled with a type of pepper spray deterrent instead of paint. Which turns out is more effective.

Some people an keep attacking you even after you shot them so i reckon paintball isn't good enough, though it would be wise to use paintball first and switch to a real gun if things escalate

You ever notice that when you go out to a paintball arena, they make you wear face protection, particularly over your eyes?

Ever wonder why that is?

I'd be more inclined to believe that this was part of the police's motivation for not using paintballs if there weren't so many stories of them blinding people with rubber bullets.

Having a goal is good, but don't let your goal depress you. Goals are meant to inspire.

So the risk of getting killed with live rounds may not deter them, but the fear of doing laundry definitely will?

They do use pepperballs which are just paintballs filled with pepper spray material rather than paint.

I'm referring to teh protesters... if the police live fired at protesters there'd be almost planetary recourse
