Although I haven't been able to fact-check this myself, I honestly have no idea why you're being downvoted. Compressed gas pepperball markers is also something used in riot control. I'm not very familiar with guns and all, but I wouldn't be surprised that 1) the two have different intended uses and different intended ranges; 2) one hurts more than the other (though I don't know which one). factfindingisfn's statement is either factually correct or factually wrong. But I saw him downvoted with no explanation. As of this writing, the other comment in this thread doesn't seem to address the factual claim at all.
