Sorry but I have to disagree. I believe at the time Carl answered my question he himself did not know the answer and believed his genuine answer he gave me which specifically stated the use of paintball markers. And also the fact there was discussion by the safety committee in regards to shooting any object from groud to air as he stated.

After a lot of collaboration within the AMA, lawyers, insurance brokers, members and non members it was then clarified that shooting paintball markers at RC airplanes would be covered under the AMA as long as it was done in a safe environment.

Carl must give the safest answer which he knows is in the best interest of the AMA. I don't believe he knew the answer at the time it was asked, otherwise so much clarification by so many people would not have been necessary.

He gave his answer then and he gave his answer after he found out. But I have a good feeling he was just as surprised as I was that the AMA will condone shooting RC airplanes with a paintball marker. My opinions, bash me as you wish.
