So, as a scientific survey, it's sound. We started from scratch, as a new player may do. We also bought a set of shop goggles. On my first trip to my local K-Mart back in March, I was directed to the shop goggles as eye protection for paintball. Also, we chose the Talon for it's availability.
Several stores sell out of paintguns before they sell out of goggles.
So we wanted to show you what could happen. Our test site was the back porch, facing into a hill. Our paint was fresh Pro Ball Platinum pink. Extremely lower than the ASTM standards. We secured the goggles to a post.
