  1. #PlasticPollution in #ShootingRanges and warfare areas - an overlooked #environmental issue

    Andrés Rodríguez-Seijo, et al. 15 July 2026

    Abstract
    "Shooting ranges and military training fields, including warfare-impacted areas, have been widely recognized as environmentally impacted zones by inorganic and organic #contamination, such as #HeavyMetals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or explosive-related compounds. However, the possible contamination by #plastics and #microplastics in soil has been widely overlooked despite potential plastic sources, such as #ShotgunCartridges, #PlasticWads or #landmines. Due to how these activities occur, plastics have remained in the field for decades or centuries, favoring their conversion from macro to microplastics, polluting the soil and water resources. Moreover, shooting and recreational activities such as #airsoft or #paintball practices could also be a substantial source of plastics to ecosystems; once shot, pellets can have conventional or biodegradable plastics in their composition, and there left in the environment, favouring impacts on soil properties. Although some initiatives have emerged to avoid the use of single-use plastics in shotgun ammunition, alternative materials (biodegradable plastics) can also be a potential risk, favouring the heavy metal bioavailability of shot pellets. These emerging pollutants should also be considered in these areas to understand if they could be a potential source of micro- and nanoplastics to the environment and, therefore, an environmental concern that requires changes at industrial and regulatory levels."

  9. Apart from #paintball & #judo I’ve never been interested in #participating in #sport.

    I’ve been to 1 #RugbyLeague game in #Laidley #Qld - I won a meat tray. lol.

    I spent many weekends at the #Belmont #rifle range over a period of 11 years though. (These days it’s known as the Belmont #Shooting Complex)

    I’ve been to 1 #baseball game in Melbourne - a lot slower than I imagined it would be.

    I’ve been to 1 #IceHockey game in Sydney - loved it.

  13. #DiePARTEI präsentiert stolz ihre Kandidatinnen für den #Stadtrat #Landau! Dominik Rödel, Listenplatz 4, der sich für eine radikale Umweltpolitik mit allen Mitteln einsetzen möchte: "Ökoschädlinge zum Paintballabschuss freigeben – freie Jagd auf SUVs!"

  14. Seltsamer Ort in #Niederösterreich: es gibt bei #Bruck an der Leitha ein #Paintball und #Quad Gelände. Ich glaube das da gehört zum Paintball und ich finde diese "ausgebranntes Dorf im Bürgerkrieg"-Ästhetik mehr als nur ein bisserl dings

  15. This guy is skewered with a weapon sitting on the ground and he was hanging in the air by one leg. After hours of screaming, that’s the help he got. That’s a terrifying level of cornered. #HorrorMovies #paintball #deadlygames #indiehorror
