Greek police will use paintball guns to mark and control riotous football crowds.

And that guy needs to get a freaking mask on. What the hell, he's got all the other gear...

That photo is Rob Blitz promoting the first Easter indoor from a few years ago.

The police use is not that uncommon ... WTO in Seattle was the first 'public' use - Tippmans with pepper balls and dye balls.

Tom Kaye has a business doing this type of thing. Here (http://www.fnhusa.com/products/firearms/group.asp?gid=FNG003&cid=FNC01)

I wonder if there is research about that compares the benefits/risks of gas delevered ballistics (paint marking and pepper ball) with Firearm delivered ones (rubber bullets).
