Dont try reasoning with little Charlie Hunter, i've tried, hes far to
arrogant and ignorant to even attempt such a concept as LISTENING. Hes
probably the neighboorhood looser that wanted to feel like a big shot
so he joined the police department inorder to forfill some need.
Paintball is an excelent wany to improve your teamwork, marksmenship,
and tacticle thinking skills, at least other departments and armed
forces think so, the Marines have a system similar to paintball but
they use M-16s retrofitted with a 'laser' actually in most cases its
just an IR beam with magnifining lenses, to train. There are a few
paintball ranges around where i live, and a couple of local officers as
well as locally stationed Navy SEALS get out there and play with
paintball guns that can throw a ball up to 300+ yards. Its rather
unnevering to be walking along and get smacked in the ear and realize
that could be your brain splatered on your shirt instead of a
paintball. and yes they do sting quite a bit.
