The Paintball Gun is a weapon in Dead Rising 3.
Unlike other firearms, this weapon does not deal lethal damage to zombies or other hostiles. Instead, it functions as a minor distraction until a more effective weapon is acquired. Despite its non-lethal nature, a dozen or so paintball pellets are sufficient to bring down a zombie.
Nevertheless, the Paintball Gun is notably lacking as a ranged weapon. It might be considered one of the least effective ranged firearms. Not only does it produce minimal damage, but even at medium range, the pellets are affected by gravity and follow an arcing trajectory, making it highly inaccurate. The Paintball Gun's sole advantage lies in its rapid fire-rate and relatively common availability. Yet, due to its limited ammunition capacity of only 45 shots, it is all too easy to deplete its supply.
