its still airsoft just at a higher velocity. a pellet gun fires pellets like a daisy bb gun. i have scrimmaged with airsoft guns and its not a big deal.i have a greengas berrata 92, I took alot of hits and it doesnt hurt unless your pretty close to the barrel. i'm pretty excited about paintball wars. i think all we would need is safety glasses or even shades.in the video the airsoft rounds fly pretty low to the ground so maybe just standing behind a scale building would be enough protection. ialso have to say the effect of the mist when the paintball smacks is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I mean really screw ir, this is the route i am going. just showed the video to my buds and we are going to forming up some teams. my friend came up with a great idea, since a hit on a tank in a specific spot shows up it would be cool to get some diagrams if it would be a fatal hit or not. kind of like a point system. just a thought but its a neat way to battle. i'm sure we couldnt go to a mall and set up a battlefield but heck, if we did this on a paintball field or such we would have one hell of a turnout. i cant make it through an ir battle video without getting bored, the paintbll vid i watched 6 times and once in slow mo so i could see the impacts. i also like the idea of having a tank that can just fire airsoft for backyard plinking.
I emailed cd and it sounds like they are taking pre orders some time this week. yes!!!!!!!
