The FN303 Military/Police Paintball Gun

Throughout my years of playing paintball I have been shot by many markers at many velocities, the highest being 450 fps at point blank. You can pretty much imagine that it was the most painful shot I've ever taken. Not the most pleasurable thing you can endure, but I can say, it is just a part of paintball that I've come to terms with (by massively beating down anyone shooting hot), besides, it could've been worse! I mean what if I took it to the face while maskless?

Say hello to the FN303, a "Non-Leathal" weapon released in 2004. Its something that cops use to bust up riots, and its something currently being used in Iraq by U.S. forces.

Its also something that has killed (a young woman in a non violent protest). I mean what kind of results do you expect if you shoot someone at a higher velocity with a metal paintball?

As an experienced paintballer, all I can say is that whoever is making these weapons should take a couple shots from it before they release this garbage onto the streets. It seems they have no idea what "non leathal" really is, and if they need me to show them then they are welcome to come by my field anytime. I'll be more than willing to shoot them with a normal paintball at various FPS.
