some black belt martial artist is supposed to catch flying paintballs without breaking them, heheh wish they would shoot 20 bps on him see if he could handle that

i just saw it, even he only could catch like 12 in 1 minute, bout 1 out of 3 shots they shot the balls at 230 fps out of a tipman and i think he was stanind bout 60 feet away from the shooter, was funny how they had a med crew standing by lol, what could possibly happen, heh guess its just their policy, they also showed some rec ball footage at the start, wonder why they didnt just show some tournament footage, would be way cooler

it was a pump gun ..it was filmed in Australia so they have to use pumps..its illegal to import semi-automatic markers (although some people do have them over there..but they are VERY expensive even for a used one they pay more than we do new :| )...and it looked like they were shooting Big Ball by RPS....at least he wore a mask and it was at a real pb field..

He didn't even catch half of those 12. They either bounced off of him and he threw his hands out to act like he caught it or they hit his humongous coveralls (that in AUS u are required to wear) and he cupped his hands over it as if he had caught the ball.

thats so stupid why didnt they make him stand closer and shot him with the velocity we use to shot in the field like 275-280fps then see how well he can do... they should have acidently shot him in the face just for tryin to make it on ripleys for something like that ha

I had somone catch one of my paintballs in his pocket that I shot at him when he was runing away. Think he could make it on ripleys?

lol i know it wasnt too unbelievable, i was a bit disapointed and yea i mistaked the pump for a tipman for some reason, and yea he missed allot of those balls, not too impressive if you ask me, oh well, like someone else said on PBN atleast paintball is getting the attention of mainstream shows, always good for us
