Yes, for recreational use on paintball fields.
However, they are considered weapons, you may wish to not carry them around either, and check your state laws on where you may not carry them such as parades, bars, etc. You cant even have them on college grounds. In an example: my granades and CO2 were taken from me during a dorm check until the end of the semester, and they had to be placed elsewhere off campus when I had them returned.
The paintball mix (which is a mixture of water, oil, and food coloring) is loaded tightly into a rubber tube. It is then pumped till it resembles a spherical shape. Following this, black zip ties, and a large rubber band are added to the ends to close off the grenade.
From this, when the paintball grenade should spiral once they hit solid ground. In the rules of paintball, any bit of paint that hits the body counts as an out.
Usually (if the game has grenades) you press "g".
standard blast radius is around 3-8 feet
Paintball grenades are a great outdoor sports option. The most highly regarded paintball grenade brand would be Empire. Another good brand is Tippmann.

No, it cannot. Two entirely different systems of operation.
a paintball grenade works by having the paint under pressure, most commonly by using rubber tubing. when it is thrown, there are two small balls that hold the paint in that pop out releasing the paint in multiple directions.

Most paintball grenades are elastic balloons with a ball bearing, that when removed makes the grenade spin and throw paint. The easiest way is to thicken water with cornstarch and add food coloring, and pump it into a baloon.

Fragmentation Grenades are explosive bombs that you throw.
paintball grenade launchers aren't really grenades. They resemble something more like a shotgun. A cartridge is loaded with several small paintballs and then charged up from a separate air tank. So it contains it's own rounds and enough co2 for one shot. when you pull the trigger all the balls fire at once in a spread.
The purpose of a paintball gun is to fire paintball pellets, to mark opponents in the game of paintball.
