I mean yes, true, but:

More dangerous

More expensive

Easier to track who purchased/likely owns one

More complex to use.

... if you get caught marking up a camera with paintballs... or frying it with a laser...

Which person do you think is looking at more potential fines and jail time?

Whats less expensive and easier to dismantle and throw away or otherwise dispose of?

A fairly decently powered laser?

Or a Tippmann 98?
