The issues is finding .68 caliber rubber balls. Freezing the paint is easier just sort them for the one that arnt all deformed.

The issue finding Rubber balls that size is not hard at all , i can go out right now and buy some that size . If you would like info on Rubber Balls that size PM, They are also used by police , and yes you can buy them almost anywhere , paintball supplies are sold

Paintballs are a great idea I lost 4 hens to a dog from about a mile down the road,It's legal in montana to kill somthong thats messing with your livestock on your property, but i wouldn't want to kill a dog plus he was kinda cute it's really the owners fault he's just being a dog i waited for the dog one morning and i opened fire on him he looked up and a paintball skined the top of his head he turned and took off in a hail of dust never seen him again you don't have to freeze them they will hurt enough that he'll never forget bb and pellet guns can actually hurt a dog real bad cause they will go into skin paintballs will burst on impact

A frozen paint ball will do the job on the dog and is probably the best option, just avoid hitting the dog in the head! If my dog got loose and came home painted with paintball marks I wouldn't think it was out causing someone trouble, I would think that the annoying kids down the road thought they were cute. So sending the dog home painted with splats from a paintball gun may not send any message at all to the owner, aside from making them upset at whoever *they* think painted the dog.

Do check your laws though, state and local. Some states and localities are more on the dog's side than yours. Especially with ARs pushing through all kinds of laws.

I own that same gun and yes it is a good deal.

Unless you hit a dog in the throat or eye you will not do any permanent damage with that gun. I've been hit countless times at point blank range and have suffered no ill effects other than some nasty welts.

As for the dog being "marked" well the paint wears off quickly and is vegie oil based so the dog will lick it off long before it gets home. I doubt many people would recognize a paintball hit on fur.

You can buy a basic gun for $50 at Walmart or on ebay if that deal doesn't work out.
