Question: Are Paintball Guns Deadly?
Answer: No. While someone could come up some crazy way to use paintball guns as a deadly weapon (maybe as a bludgeon), a paintball gun cannot kill a person when used as it is intended, or, even using it as it wasn't intended. Paintball guns simply do not shoot fast enough and the projectile is not heavy enough to cause any permanent damage.
The only two deaths from paintball that I am aware of have come from CO2 tanks where the valve was improperly installed and the CO2 tanks ended up shooting like a rocket and hitting someone in the head. Modern valves contain safety bleed valves so that any chance of this happening with modern equipment is basically nonexistent.
