paintballs can travel very far a straight horizontal shot @ 300fps(no apex, or flatline) could probably reach 125-140 ft. After that you can arc your shots by little incriments that will increase the range by alot. When the barrel is at a 38ish degree arc @ 295-300fps the paintball can actually reach 300 feet. A first strike paintball can actually reach 500 feet when arched correctly. also everytime you arc your barrel you can make a longer shot by at least 10 to 25 feet down range!! test it out

Paintball guns do not qualify as firearms, and as such you can fire it as close to the house as your heart desires. To be safe however, be sure to fire AWAY from the house and towards a target that will stop the paintball before it exits your yard. Shooting into someone else's yard WILL be considered as a criminal offence if reported.

There are many variables that affect how far a paintball gun will shoot. Although it is proven that the marker, barrel, air source, ect, will not affect range (proven by the punkworks team at techpb), things such as wind and elevation will. The simplest answer is that paintball guns are generally considered to be reasonably accurate up to 150 feet. Ways of improving range is to use a flatline or apex barrel (at the cost of accuracy), or just simply pointing your barrel higher.

the legal limit at fields is 300 feet/sec. which is for safety, but also is about the ideal speed for accuracy as well- most manufacturers quote the ideal speed for their guns to be in the 280-300 fps range.

HOWEVER, I believe you asked how fast CAN a paintball go, not what the field limit is. SO- if you're not playing a game and are just messing around, you can crank your gun up, but I don't recommend it.

A few times at my old field, a few of us were doing just that on the range, and we got a few guns consistently chronographed at over 380-90 fps with regular paintballs, but we also got a few barrel breaks and poor accuracy.

One ref brought out a few frozen balls (he would always threaten cheaters with them!), and we were were able to top out at about 425 fps. Under perfect circumstances, with the right gun, barrel, and thick skinned or frozen ball, I imagine 475-525 fps would be attainable, maybe more if you did some customization al la "Mythbusters"

maximum rang in paintball is largely considered 150 feet, while the paintballs will go further than this it is typically very rare to get anyone out over this range as the paintballs will be flying so slowly at 150 feet that they will bounce off of anything they hit.

All paintball guns are required to be set below 300 fps (204.5 mph). Most fields play 1a 290 for outdoor and 265 for indoor.

Michigan laws on paint ball guns is it illegal to carry paint ball guns in your cars?

No, but the safest bet would be to break the gun down and keep it in your trunk. Many paintball markers are built to resemble real guns therefore when someone sees them, they tend to have a bad reaction. Just take the barrel off it, and store it safely in your trunk till you reach your home.

How many bullets can a gun shoot at a time?

just one. But many guns can rapidly shoot one bullet after another bullet. Actually, the technically correct answer is most guns only fire one at a time. There are a few guns (such as some side by side shotguns or double rifles) can actually fire both barrels simultaneously.
