A silenced airgun isn't an oxymoron at all; you can purchase or make your
own silencers for paintball guns (they can be surprisingly loud). Could that
be another possible application for paintball guns, though? What if the .68
calliber balls were filled with a skin-contact sedative? Or even an airborne
irritant like mace? Could be a very effective non-lethal weapon with
relatively pin-point accuracy (certainly moreso than lobbing a grenade
cannister into a crowd). It could be useful in hostage situations, etc.
