No, I did not give myself hickies with a vacuum cleaner, I received 4 impacts from a Pepperball launch system today in the name of training. I also received some area saturation from a whole bunch of pepperballs launched in the immediate area around me so that I could breathe in the powder. The highlight of the day was shooting the FN303 pictured below. Luckily I didn't get those projectiles launched at me. Although they are the same diameter as the pepperballs, and actually launch 20 feet per second slower, they are filled with a bunch of heavy bismuth (like lead but eco-friendly) pellets in the front, and rifling on the back. This allows them to hit with almost 3 times the force of the pepperballs which are launched from what is basically an ordinary paintball gun.

Among other things, that is why I would never be a police man or border patrol. And Josh, dont lie, you are also sad that you missed our way awesome Thanksgiving. Admit it!
Nicola!!! I didn't know you had a blog, I hope you don't mind me taking a peek!! It's so good to see you! (a picture anyway) Hope all is well. Can Emily add your blog to the brhs 1998 blog? I'll wait for your answer. It might already be there, but just thought I should ask. Take care!!
Angie,
I don't want my blog on the BRHS 1998 page. Also, please do not add it to your blog list because I have not made it private yet.
Char -
I'll admit it. I'm about this sad about missing your Thanksgiving (Imagine me holding my fingers almost together with just enough room for a grain of sand inbetween)
by the way, you like paintballing, so I think that not wanting to be pepperballed is kind of lame.
OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!
Is this supposed to be humane??? I feel bad for you.
