Paintball gun with 38 bullets per second

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 1 views

Paintball. I am sure this word has been familiar to your ear. When speaking about paintball, the first thing that comes on my head is the ’shot, hide and seek’ thing. You know like when we’re in the middle of battle, where we must hide, protect our selves from getting shot by the enemy, while in the same time, we must collect points, attacking enemies, and beating them all. Truely fun !!! :D .

But is there any of you having idea that paintball shot feels somewhat painful on your skin ? It’s the bullet in every shot that kicks.

The most recent news I read, a new game of paintball is featuring 38 bullets/second. It will be quite similar with army’s machine gun capability. And the bullets split from the paintball shotgun will speed up to a half mile.

Wow… guys, it sounds so hurting .
