Other then the fact that the EGL 47 is a mock M203 grenade launcher that u put on the end of your marker it is also 800 dollars and i dont think somebody that is looking for something that is affordable considers an 800 dollar M203.

or u can make one at home for like idk an 8th of that price get some pvc a co2 tank and a valve shove a nerfball in there and ur good to go. (yes i know its not that easy but close enough to get one working.

this good enough for ya?

I got shot in the leg from about 30' by a marker that later had chronod at 370fps (we were playing on private property, not a managed course).  10 days later I still have the welts.  over 300 fps can shatter mask lenses, don't tell me it couldn't pop an eyeball.

That being said I saw a nice design for a paint cannon that fires 27 paintballs in a sabot round.  Looks like a potato cannon.

Incidentally, a paintball gun can kill you by causing a bloodclot in an artery should you get hit in the right place (neck being one of them).  This was a concern of my wife when I first started playing until I got neck protection.  She also happens to be a board certified RN of 15 years since you require the opinion of someone familiar with physiology.

how far away was he shot from? Lol if it was point blank then he is better at taking paint than me XD

well maybe he blinked just before impact :)

So are you saying a piece of the paintball gelatin wont get lodged into the eye?.......Wow so you must be superman or something...go fight crime! WOOOOSH!

well apparently you friend should be euthanized.

IF someone isnt wearing any type of armor covering the eye and is shot in the eye, a piece of plastic may be shoved into that hole, thus into the cranium. That, or if someone shoots you at point blank in the base of the skull of the nose maybe, you might be seriously, or fatally injured. Hope this clarifies :)  Seen here *thanks from wikipedia pics* is the eye socket. See that white blob at the back of it? Now look to the right of that were the yellow nerve leads. That is where the optic nerve will connect to the brain a little further in. Its a 1 in a million chance, but you will still either be dead or blind.

If you're not familiar with Physiology or Physics, please don't try to use them as an example for an argument.
