or a golf club/golf cart

and let me get this straight... they were playing with it while it had air... and the kid didnt have googles on (it hit him in the eye) so therefore it was obviously used in a way not intended by the manfacturer, not to mention the screw(driver, some say it was a screw driver not a screw) loaded in the barrel.

Sorry if this offends you.. Don't post this ****..

It doesn't offend me but know this...I will contunue to post these things as long as I am a member of the internet community of paintball.

I understand your reasons and I guess I could partly agree - however - it is more responsible for us to post it and show that the hazards of BEING RETARTED can get people killed. As a parent of 3 kids, I'd like to know that internet groups take the time and effort to inform others of the hazards of 'being creative'...and that their "bright ideas" are likely to get people seriously hurt or killed.

If by reading the article, a juvenile realizes that this isn't a 'toy'...and doesn't put anything other than a paintball through the marker...I have done my job and possibly save a life.

I'm sorry you disagree and you are well within your rights to believe what you do...but so am I.

Preach on Druid. Amen.

It amazes me what people will do and think of. A screw driver in the barrel of a paintball gun....

Druid DO NOT STOP POSTING THIS STUFF. I think it is very important for us to read about the stupid idiots out there.
