[RC] sorta OT - paintball guns to use from horseback - RHONDA LEVINSON

I have a slightly off topic question I hope someone can help me with.  My son wants paintball guns for Christmas.  He wants two or three so the rest of the family will play with him.  He's thirteen and very responsible, so I'm thinking I will buy one for him and an extra for me because it sounds like fun.  However, I would also like to use the extra gun from horseback.  There's this dog that really goes after us when we ride on the roads and the owners deny that their dog is the one attacking us.  So, if I shoot it with a paintball, I can mark the dog in question so there is no question which dog it is when the sheriff comes out, and maybe getting shot will scare off the dog.

So, does anyone know anything about paintball guns?  Are the pistol kinds that look like they'd work from horseback good enough quality to be fun while playing in a group?
