YUCK! STL; My 18 year old grand-daughter was very good in the paintball community when she was 16. People shoot at each other with those things everyday.
Now, I would have given EVEN YOU credit for being able to tell the difference between a RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade) and a paintball.
I still would bet that if you have the preference between a paintball and either a .38 Special, .44 magnum, or a 7mm. remington magnum, you would take the paintball.
[/quote]Sure I do! And I bet you would know the difference between a paintball and a .44 when used in self defense.
The activity is still called ground to air, defined by the AMA when they responded in regards to paintballing activities. You understand relativity? I'm no lawyer but once the AMA clarified their stance on ground to air, it did in fact pave the road for any and all ground to air operations for RC airplanes. Now if something happens, they can never again use the ol' "we never said that pitch". What these guys demonstrated in the video was ground to air, and as long as they are taking proper safety precautions, what they were doing is within the AMA safety code. However taking proper safety precautions is only in the eye of the beholder. If it was that simple the AMA wouldn't have long drawn out document outlining combat operations, don't ya think. I think it's time for the AMA to step up to the plate and define ground to air projectiles.
