Really? ...

Really.

Hunting knives aren't illegal - but walk down the street with one in your pocket and get frisked by the cops and see what happens.

..but you could fill it with water.

Of course if the projectile happened to be frozen at the time of launch...

Paintball guns are classified as airguns, which are classified as firearms. The filth take an extremely dim view of fireams offences in this country. Firing one in a public place at property or people will most likely see you arrested.

That said, down to business

Paintball guns are generally small, and quite lightweight. Remote mount kits for the oxygen are readily available, leaving you with a small handgun sized unit (assuming you fit a shorter barrel, also readily available). The magazines are quite large, but a large plastic testube (about 19mm inside diameter) will serve to hold 5-10 rounds. Concievably, you could mount it inside the fairing, with merely a hole visible. Paintballs travel at 300fps (generally, much more power applied and they tend to break in the barrel), so you won't catch it anytime soon. One does assume you're not planning to chase people at 200km/h and try to shoot at them. The flasher guns (read pricey) have electronic triggers, so it's a trivial matter to hook them up to the horn button. A 12v solenoid would suffice on a cheaper (sub $200) gun.

Do consider that concentrating on aiming your bike at the offending car when you should be concentrating on steering is possibly not the brightest idea. I would also consider mounting it on an offset position, so that you're not directly behind the cage you want to shoot, but rather in the adjacent lane 6 or so metres back.

Also, consider substitute ammo. Frozen paintballs, or perhaps jaffas would make considerable better damage to your target. If you want to put a large compression spring in the bottom of the mag (like a real gun), you could probably manage a good 30 shots worth.

I think that's about it

I've just gotta speak up here, first, the law:

The moment a Paintball gun is displayed or used in a public place that is not a paintball field or private property, it is immediately classed as a firearm, and all the same legal penalties apply.

Second, a paintball averages 3.2g in mass, and will turn a unprotected eyeball into soup, if they hit any object that's on a angle, you can expect them to ricochet to goodness knows where.

If you want to scare someone, don't use a paintball gun, or you run a very real risk of running foul of the law or any public nearby.

As a certain Hailtonian found out the best way to scare someone is to boot their wing mirror off, he didnt ride to work for a while after that as he was scared of retribution

Meh, I say you get a boob job and if anyone asks you about the paintball gun, you just ask if they wanna feel. If its a chick, you can always use your gun...
