You're probably thinking of what normal people call paintballs. And if
you're looking to seriously sting illegals rather than just
ostentatiously marking them with dayglo - and maybe nightglo paint -
you'll need one of these:

connected to a portable freezer to keep your balls frozen in southern

If you have poor night vision, some sort of night vision device might
be helpful to detect wetlegs if there were no moon or stars, but as to
a scope............I think it's uniquely possible that you
misoverestimate the range and accuracy of paint guns.

Sounds like a good way to spend time while waiting for a Starlink

patented the damthing, me. So.
