Yeah I remember that one.As always the media show they have no idea on the subject in question .First they tell us the “pellet” passed through the mask and then contradict themselves by explaining what really happened.
"A DAD-OF-TWO owes his life to being shot in the face with a paintball pellet during a boozy stag weekend.
The shot passed through Gary Burrows' safety helmet and hit him in the chin - revealing a potentially fatal cancerous lump. "
"Gary was in a paintball match with his daughter's fiancee and 17 other men at Skirmsih in January 2005 in Nottingham.
He was lying on the ground and looking upwards to shoot someone in a tree when a tiny pea-sized pellet went under the plastic helmet and struck the soft skin under his chin. "

So a quick read would give the impression that paintballs are " pea size pellets" that can "pass through safety masks"

In the real world, any publicity is good publicity...
and why the quotation marks around pellet? Because that is exactly what it is...

I put the following words in red "pea sized pellet" as I felt this was an inaccurate description of a paintball(pea sized).Good desciption of an airgun pellet .Just my opinion though.
