Don't think paint ball qualifies as any type weapon (lethal or non-lethal) Usually non-lethal refers to impacy weapons such as police batons or pepper spray or tazers.

depends what you put in them.... I have got a load of reballs (indoor rubber reusable balls), turn the makers up to 350+ fps, and they will dam hurt........

LOL. So will the paintballs if you freeze them first. Not that I've ever done that.

Na nor have i but i have got hold of a couple of ball bearings of the right diameter and shot them out of one of the older makers, and that
caused a nice hole in the shed wall, lol. all in the name of experimentation that is.

I wish we had the freedom the USA has with firearms.....

23 here- big shop for xmas tomorrow would see that go higher.

Is it me or was there frighteningly little about skill in there (or is that the quiz's idea of prepper - all the gear and no idea?).

yeah, comes from old nuke stuff ... are we still worried about nukes ??? If it's sun spots you're b---ered (oops! that was almost a pun :lmao:)

Actually I'm a bit worried about nukes. Not so much from the established nations as was the fear during the early Cold War. But rather realize that in the 1970s a college student with a D average (the lowest passing grade over here) did a paper on building a nuclear bomb for extra credit. He found enough unclassified data in his research to complete the paper which was subsequently classified.

There's only a small problem preventing a terrorist from doing the same thing, the lack of ability to obtain the nuclear material. And there is a frightening amount of that unaccounted for around the world.

Need to stock up on the food though, or buy a gun :AR15firin

51 and survive 6-8 months but surely by then other means of living/surviving would emerge unless we are talking about a total nuclear wasteland. Even the government might have inaugurated a rationing scheme (hint, become a ration doler outer or a special constable/block warden).

The water storage, renewable food and rural location scored high, security was low.
