How far does a paintball go?

One other factor is that 45* is only the maximum distance when doing high school physics (disregard air resistance/friction/etc). Real world you have to go a bit flatter, for some reason I remember an alleged engineer telling me it was like 38* but it was 20+ years ago and I have no idea if the guy was actually an engineer… but he at least sounded smart to my young self.

I remember hearing the same thing. But its not like my mother had the gun at an exact angle. She just lobbed some paintballs "above those trees"

From shots I've made if you arc it enough I'd say 150 yard maybe. 100 yards much more consistently. But at that point the ball is unlikely to break
