Those semi-auto markers are cool though, I can't see many burglars trying to walk into a faceful of paintballs.
Probably not a burglar, but post SHTF then it's a different kettle of fish. You can't kill someone with a paintball gun, unless you're a crack shot and manage to shoot 'em in the eye-ball. Then it's not guaranteed, although they'll probably not want to advance much more.
They're good fun, and they do hurt a bit, but do not think that a paintball marker will stop a determined attacker from getting you. When playing it's easy to get lost in the heat of the moment and not realise you've been shot a few times, especially as you're running about.
My mate Beas owns Alamo Paintball in Whittlesey, one of his marshals spotted that an Enola Gay thunderflash squeezes in the barrel of a paintball marker. Almost lost his job when one he's fired into the air exploded next to a girls head and knocked her out. That's a much more useful application for a marker than firing paintballs
