airsoft bbs .2 grams flying at 500 fps hit with .15 pounds of force
a paintball 3 grams flying at 300 fps hits with 1.5 pounds of force.
ten times the impact

and an almost completely unrelated topic for those who think paintball makes them tough, a lacrosse ball going 80 mph (which is a fairly normal shot speed) hits with 128 pounds of force

Lacrosse is an acceptable sport, yet paintball and airsoft are considered violent or whatever negative adjectives people think of. Genius.

Anyways, regardless of what the math tells you about BBs and paintballs, would you really want to take the chance with your eyes?

i am not saying don't wear goggles, im just pullin up some figures here. a bb or a paintball could easily take out your eyes

All that would be involved is buying a pair of airsoft glasses and shooting them?

If Panda doesn't come though, I'll do it.

You guys seem to be neglecting momentum, which is important since impulse seems to be the relevant quantity here. You're also completely neglecting the frames, regardless of how strong the lens is. They have to be strong enough to keep the lens away from the eye when hit with a paintball, which I find extremely dubious.

At any rate, I think glasses can too easily be knocked off someone's face to be safe for paintball, even if they could stop one. The second one is going to hurt a lot more.

edit: woops, didn't look past the first page.
