MinnesnowtaWild Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 LOL I would not recommend hunting with a paintball gun. Very inhumane, much worse than using a pellet. Pellets actually have the power to knock small game down dead. .22 caliber is definitely the way to go with these though, I cannot stress that enough. They do not shoot at the same velocity as the .177 but they pack such a larger punch which is key when taking down rabbits and squirrels.

redogman67 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 @ MuleI wasn't referring to your comments but to others especially those that guarantee it's lethal abilities. I am not upset about it, I just think people shouldn't spread stupid ideas so that some less than bright person hears about it and tries it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archerysniper Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I use my paintball gun on chipmunks that get into my barn and into my polebarn because it will not damage anything or ricochet and hit my boat or truck. I would use poison but with my daughter and dogs their is just to much to chance useing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameson Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 @redogman67I put that guarantee out their so that folks who don't think a paintball gun would kill a critter would maybe think twice. Please don't take it as me promoting the killing of critters with paintball guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom7227 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Box -you won't face a firearms charge but you probably would get jacked around a bit. If you shot something it may be criminal damage to property, if you shot someone it probably would come out as an assault or disorderly conduct. I must be too old cause I can't see any real reason to own one of these things.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxMN Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I wasn't thinking about people or using it "bad", but if I can't use a bb gun in the city on squirrels, but I can use paintball gun and not get in trouble, I might just smack a few squirrels (not to kill them, but to give them a fright to stay out of my stuff)... or just to thwack a few targets out back while wasting time. I just thought it would be same as firing bb gun at empty cans... maybe not though. I do know a retired WBL cop, maybe I should give him a shout... though it really doesn't matter muc to me, as I prolly would not dump the bucks just to tag a stupid squirrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
