Low-impact paintball is designed for those players who want all the fun of playing paintball but without all of the pain/sting that is typically associated with being shot by a standard paintball. Low-impact paintball guns shoot a smaller paintball that is designed to hurt less when you get shot!
Normal paintballs are about the size of a traditional gumball and have a thicker shell. Low-impact paintballs are about the size of a chickpea and have a thinner shell. This means that the low-impact paintballs weigh less and carry less inertia (force) on impact. This is not to say it’s totally painless to be shot, but players typically say it is less painful than being shot with a full-size paintball.
