    Actually the legal limit is 1lb/ft the law being all imperial and all... it's a fair bit over one joule. Of course, this means that paintball guns are technically illegal. Go figure.

    1.35 Joules I believe. equates to about 372 fps for a 0.2g BB. Many airsoft sites have a 1 Joule or 328fps limit however, the legacy of a money-grabbing attempt to regulate the sport in this country...

    Yup, airsoft is good for sniping and the like (I got an M-21 ) and its nice and realistic but it is open to cheating because if someone is wearing a jumper they cant feel BB's hitting them. Thats why playing in a t-shirt is best

    i remember when i first went paintballing, I was 13 - I remember the big strong macho blokeys on the stag party in our team telling me n my two little friends to 'stay back n try not to get shot sweetheart' - so they all ran forwards n got shot instantly n there we were the only 3 players left having to defend a little target whilst hiding behind a log. Boy did THEY feel foolish!

    Second time when I was 15 I was once again told by the big macho men to 'just try not to get shot' during the speedball round... who grabbed the flag n won the game after they'd nearly all got shot out? meeee!

    I like the clever blokes who treat zee wimin the same and try to play tactically as apposed to running out n gettng shot after two seconds n spending £30 on refills

    i'll film it for ya bazz, as long as i can have a padded suit and a big stick, so anyone who shoots the cameraman gets a beating!

    if war is the answer, then we are asking the wrong question
    2 things i hate the most - xenophobia and the french

    Get Punky to film it for ya?

    If not you could always film it yourself (though you would need a big old box around it) or you could try and find a helmet mountable camera.

    All of them 3 would work
