#3 Don't knock slingshots. Slingshots and ball bearings (1/4" size) will put a HURT on someone. It's much worse than being hit at point-blank range with a paintball. It won't kill a deer, but I've knocked squirrels out of trees 50-60 feet up with one. They're also VERY quiet...

#4 Blowguns are quiet as well. Used to shoot pigeons off the rafters in the barn with one. Doesn't put a hole in the roof like a .22 if you miss.

#5 Used to sell Whammo on my blowgun design. Round looked like a mini-sabot, used sharped pianowire. Whammo lawyers say go away.
