I am only cool with shooting it if you are going to eat it. Or to protect something, cause a Possum or Raccon will kill your cats. And I ain't gonna kill someones pet.

Possum, no, armadillo, maybe because they have some plating at least

And what if I do hit it? Fluffy and friends certainly won't be coming back into my yard, harrassing my cat or spraying my outdoor furniture.

Does water do anything to deter them?

One time I fed a fish an alkaseltzer. I don't think it liked it too much...

So anyway, back to paintball....

Been a loooong time since I played and my old razorback was about as accurate as spitting at people. Get a gun with a rifled barrel. I found the longer barrels to be more accurate. Autocockers are better but burn ammo faster though more accuratly when they are burning ammo. Get a big hopper for paintballs with a quickload feature larger tubes that hold a good deal of balls to carry with you.

The only experience with a rifled autococking gun was one of our guys had a brass eagle gun and the thing tore me up. He was using Zap brand balls (SUCK - I liked california magnums myself) and they refused to break and we had a must be spattered with paint to be out rule. So, this guy shot further, farther and was deadly accurate compared to us. It sucked and I got hit 11 times before we surrendered.

I'm preeeety sure this was the marker/gun that hosed my @$$, leg, shoulder, @$$ again...

Marker

He bought the aftermarket barrel for it too. Thing kicked our butts. I'm not making any reccomendations as to brand though, just wanted to point that out.

Question for present day players -What sort of air do you use now? We used to used the regular CO2 cartridges but I don't see any of the new guns sold with the units for them. Just the larger cylenders now. How do you get them refilled and where?
