Not only are they water soluble and easily washed out… the vast majority of them are also non toxic.
If you get paint on your mask, and it splatters through to your mouth… non toxic. Tastes terrible, but its not gonna harm you via ingestion. Much of the ‘paint’ is … basically just food dye.
…
… Also… a whole lot of police… just use paint markers (they are technically, legally classed as ‘markers’ because they aren’t firearms thus are not ‘guns’)… they use markers with pepper balls.
They just shoot miniature tear gas / skin irritant /eye irritant ‘paintballs’ as a less lethal weapon.
You can put a whole lot of different liquids inside what is basically a semi rigid gel/plastic capsule.
…
The old devious trick I remember was people would freeze their paintballs the night before a match.
Nowadays, I’m fairly sure if you are caught doing that, you don’t just get banned from that field/course… you probably get prosecuted.
