New gun arrival!


Yes, it's a .68 caliber paintball marker. I got it together with two 7-round mags, a leg holster, some rubber balls and rubber-coated steel balls. The reason I got it was I wanted something less than lethal for home defense. I have modern guns and black powder guns but less than lethal can be good too. It produces up to 14-16 joules of power which is plenty enough to hurt and hopefully deter. Best thing about it; I can pop in a CO2 cartridge and just leave it there forever. When it's needed I just have to pull the trigger once to pop it and it's ready to be used with a second pull of the trigger. Perfect nightstand gun!


I also got it because I reckon it's lots of fun to play around with

Clever Crow!

Can you put pepper rounds in it?

Looks cool!

Yes, but I don't think I can buy them as a civilian.


You should get one too!

Right, can’t have you being able to properly defend yourself. Got it.

Rubber balls work too if shot in the face/neck/head area. Plus I don't risk inhailing the pepper myself

I’d worry about just pissing the person off. Maybe keep one of your BPGs handy, just in case. Lol

Well, that may be a concern in some situations for sure. But at other times one might in fact NOT want to seriously harm whoever is intruding because it may not be called for it. I have given this a lot of thought and I did come to the conclusion that less than lethal can indeed be useful at times. But yes, in other situations it may not be the best choice by which point one might favor something real.


Btw, did I mention I have a blackpowder shotgun?

I picked me up a couple of these for my rifle.

Mags are a gun's best friend

But a drum is even better .

But a pain to load, and they look ugly

Tell me about it. My Nerf Minigun has a 50 round drum on it and it takes a good amount of time to load just to fire it for a minute and a half to empty it---but it's so fun to shoot .

Ahh, the addiction that is automatic fire

Yeah, hard to go back once you've been even semi-automatic.

Tell me about it!


I remember going to a fair type kinda thing with rides and all. I loved the automatic pea-shooters they had! And yeah, I do not want to get rid of my autoloading .30-06. I've been spoiled!

I had a 22 revolver before buying the 9mm semi-automatic = yeah; spoiled is a good word for it. Can't ever go back to using a revolver again.

I want both!

In my world, since I can't get modern versions, I have a CO2-powered Colt SAA but I also want a CO2-powered semi-auto pistol. I used to have my eyes on the S&W M&P 40 but now I rather want the Beretta 92 A1. Not only does it have a really heavy blowback but it also has a full auto mode. Yes, unrealistic feature seing as the gun otherwise works exactly like the real thing. But hey, don't have to use it, right?

It also field strips like the real gun and slide locks back after the last shot.

I figure if my life is in danger; I don't want just 6 bullets and then an awkward reload (single bullet at a time; sticking them properly in the six little holes while your hands are shaking and you are probably running for your life ) reload when I could have 15-18 hollowpoints and a fully loaded (magazine) ready to be shoved in with ease to give me another 15 shots in just seconds if needed. Yeah; I gotta go with the semi-automatic every time; I don't even want another revolver again. (although that silver-plated 22 was cute and fit in my purse, lol).
