Jaguar, you and I probably have relatively rare expereince to draw on. I know what a 9mm (along with other assorted handguns) sound like when fired. I know what several variety of paintball gun sound like. But even though I know what a paintball gun sounds like when fired at me I don't know what an actual gun fired in my general direction sounds like. And I'd bet the vast majority of people with a CCW permit have never participated in paintball sports.
That having been said I don't think I'd bet my life that the loser who just hit me with a projectile, while I was minding my own business walking down the street, is only using a paintball gun. I'd err on the side of caution and blow his ass away. That kind of anti social behaviour should be actively discourged.
