U.S Soldiers Tote High Powered Paintball Guns

US armed forces are shelving the pepper spray for a crowd-controlling weapon with some serious balls to it—this FN303 Paintball gun. Also known as the Individual Serviceman Non-Lethal System (ISNLS), the gun carries a 6.5-gram projectile that fires bullets with a mixture of paint and the metal bismuth.

According to the creators of the welt-producing firearm, “the shock and pain caused by the impact instantly stop and neutralize the suspect.” Ouch. To get a watered-down version of the guts of the FN303, check the instructional video after the jump.
