Read the "paint ball" regulations again. Slowly this time - It specifically says "paint balls". It does NOT legalize shooting Rifles, shotguns or ground to air missles at R/C aircraft.
Sorry but if you were right about this I would agree with you.
Once again, read this S L O W L Y and show me where it authorizes rifles, shotguns or surface to air missles!?!
It SPECIFICALLY talks about PAINT BALLS and PAINT BALL MARKERS!
Your argument is totally without merit!

Paintball activities (ground to air)
The following procedures were provided to AMA in March of 2005 by the Corona Radio
Control Club, AMA Charter 1614:
Planned Procedures
Aircraft
1. Eight to ten specially prebuilt drones made from corrugated plastic (Coroplast) and
gutter pipe, similar to the “Friday (FNS) and Saturday (SNS) Night Specials”, found
on the SPAD to the Bone website,
www.spadtothebone.com, will be used as our
flying targets.
2. Extra reinforcement and padding will be placed inside the gutter pipe, to protect the
radio equipment.
3. Specially pre-trained pilots will fly only four aircraft in the air at one time. Their
training will include emergency procedures to follow if control of the target drone is
lost due to impact of the paint ball.
4. Engien sizes will be limited to .40 size max. and AMA combat contest rules for
distances will apply (i.e. 500 ft. per cubic inch of 200 ft.)
5. During each refueling, each aircraft will be inspected for any signs of damage and if
so, will be immediately replaced with one of the prebuilt drones.
Flying Field
1. This event will be offered three times a day for approximately 1 hour each.
2. Tickets for paintballs may be purchased from our tickets kiosk.
3. Paintball markers will be supplied and regulated by, and only by the sponsoring
paintball store. This will prevent people from having unauthorized paintballs or
markers on the field.
4. There will be two netted safety cages, each with two participant stages. (four stages)
5. A safety officer from the professional paintball hosting company will man each stage
to ensure the safety of the participant.
A planned mapped layout of our field with netted safety cages is attached.
