Paintball Gun Fault Tree Analysis

Just a sample Fault Tree Analysis for a paintball gun that was created for a class project during the Spring 2009 semester at UB.  Project goal was to recommend safety improvements for paintball guns (and paintball speedball fields to a lesser extent) to the ASTM sub-committee on paintball.

Complete version of the fault tree available below (flash required).

6-0 tonight in paintball, got shot 3 times (face, shoulder, back-same team?).

The event went very smoothly and everyone seemed to have a good time.  I will say that I was quite upset that they disallowed automatic firing or even 3-round bursts so my gun was reduced to a semi-auto… I still lit up quite a good deal of Bentley chums though.

 I fully plan to go again within a month, and come spring to organize several trips to P&L. 

Also, i walked away with about 5,000 rounds of paint…. schwinggggg.
