Can't do it, my brain is bad
It takes a lot to realize that and exercise that restraint. You're a good egg. With that being said, a paintball gun would have a low chance of self-harm, but they make coyote urine balls that smell terrible on impact. Just saying.
And pepper balls, and jawbreakers.
I'll just point out that showing up to a hypothetical gun battle with only paint (or even pepper balls) is a bad idea. Cops and other criminals will undoubtedly act as if you're holding a firearm anyway, even though you aren't, and their guns can do unto you while you can't do unto them. Tread wisely.
No need. These days you can get the aforementioned "jawbreakers," which are solid plastic or aluminum .68 caliber balls specifically designed for paintball gun use and what for to cause havoc. Unlike frozen paintballs they're shelf stable.
