[arturas203]

Chuck Norris could do that with his tongue

[luisrene8]

He says at the beginning we've seen people catch arrows and eggs thrown by baseball players, you think I wanna see this

[timmichaelhaines]

2:55

[M747202172763]

thats slow paintballs 

[dick110590]

just the idea of catching paintballs is enough...

[DoYouWantMeToEatYou]

Because of the danger, paramedics are standing by.

xD iLOL

[RTEGB1]

Next up, The Adventurer that catches arrows with his knees.

[pavel1vasilyev]

Little did we know, he has a pillow under his jacket so the paint-balls don't break.

[AdensAirsoft]

240p we meet again.



[halonone]

@AdensAirsoft Oh I thought it was claymation.

[TheEpicNeonCookie]

if i had a dime for ever pixel in this video...id have a nickel

[shammynarru]

@TheEpicNeonCookie lmfao

[jjs5243]

230 fps is not fast at all try doing it with paintball that go 360 fps at 20 feet ive done it can you?

[Maxipad89]

I've been shot by 15 balls in one second and none of them broke on me... AND I was wearing half the gear this cat was... Am I special too?

[Mito209]

Chuck Norris could do that with a barret 50 cal

[akaMyTvAdiction]

@Mito209 Chuck Norris also knows guns besides the ones from call of duty

[shammynarru]

@Mito209 more like a grenade launcher

[joeynukik]

@Mito209 with out protection!

you see what i did there??

[player120370]

I waited 1 day for them to be back lol.... Cut out well be back

[ralphM1114]

this was recorded using a turkey.

[MrEli1995]

He should try catching BULLETS lol... thumbs up if you agree

[MrMaypole14]

Im not impressed, stupid show!

[derekHSmith]

0.3 secs is NOT very fast reaction time - average reaction time is between 0.1 and 0.2 seconds actually. Look it up (that's 200 milliseconds, BTW).

[yellowdogsrock]

@derekHSmith O.K. then I'l come over to your house with my paintball gun lets see you catch some.

[MrLazzyG]

Chuck Norris Can !

[MultiMrCookieMonster]

HES A NINJA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Angi3yz]

why is ripleys on sci-fi when its supose to be real...

[dreamitupforever]

the weird fairy thing at the beginning scared the crap out of me!

[06cristianoronaldo]

be a goalkeeper youll be a star!!! big cash.hahah

[PaintballPlayer157]

A Few things, He is wearing a Vest so that the balls bounce, after they bounce, he just cups his hands around them. Also, why are there paramedics? People play paintball everyday and don't need to go to the hospital.

[AllMenOnEarth]

@PaintballPlayer157 that's what i was thinking. paramedics for paintball? i got shot in the back of the head and neck before and im still alive :)

[PaintballPlayer157]

@AllMenOnEarth Yeah really, I was shot in just about every place you could imagine at the same time one day with monsterball! I didn't go to the hospital, I just kept playing that day.....

[fatsmut]

big deal fire them at his feet or nuts lol

[gunboundph1]

i go paintball with shorts and a t shirt only

[JCBlake123]

ok I play airsoft with a 450 feet per second gun. to be hoenst 230 isn't that fast. still impressive but its not what they are trying to make it to be

[lavalizard3]

Screw Australian law. Real men catch them bare handed and without a shirt.

[dante195ify]

Now try it with an Angel.

[LootableCorpse]

Omfg do we really have to watch him put his gloves and helmet on 3 TIMES!?

[90RogueLeader]

Real impressive... I remember when I used monster balls too. (if you play paintball you understand)

[90RogueLeader]

Real impressive... I remember when I used monster balls too.

[DelinquentRodent]

Paramedics? Really?

[splintercelldude57]

ripleys believe it or not world worst resolution

[OzzyTheGuy13]

@splintercelldude57 They may have bad resolution but you have shit grammar

[splintercelldude57]

@OzzyTheGuy13 u gota crappy attitude

[OzzyTheGuy13]

@splintercelldude57 DEEGAFF!!

[fatalus553]

@OzzyTheGuy13 lol

[twokei2]

ok after that one, try catching bullet using ure glory hole

[WannaGoToSuckFest]

OLD SCIFI INTRO THING!! :))))

[itachifun12]

what dangers are in paintballs e.e i meen honestly, i'd call him a prancy little bitch if he had to go to the hospital because he couldnt take a little sting

[l0ney45]

holy fuck that thing at the start scared the fuck out of me

[StoneAngus]

"More than anyone else in the world" .... Who else has ever caughten a paintball with there barehands. .?

[Darkenedbyshadows]

@StoneAngus who else even tries?..... just another bloke trying to be known..

[420ozzy420]

stupidest thing ive seen



[mantoxic95]

ok pal lets see u catch a bullet

[petrtwat]

haha wow this is so dumb, one, 230fps, try 300. I play paintball and half the time they dont even break when you get shot because people have cheap paint that don't break, and you wear baggy cloths.  and paintballs are very easy to see if they're coming at you one at a time. id like to see the guy catch em in his hands thatd be actually above average reflexes. and parametics? haha get real ripleys this is rediculous

[asuww1995]

@petrtwat show me a vid of you doing this better than this man dude...

[w0o0o0o0o0o0w]

if he caught one in a game does he lose?

[TheCardGuy521]

what about bullets???can he catch bullets??

[Polaczek1995]

Its not an Australian law to wear a mask while doing anything with paintballing, its the paintball rule.

[Darkenedbyshadows]

@Polaczek1995 haha... so stupid they even pointed that out.

[SHortstuFF911]

well done for that. but your a fag XD

[carcophony1]

click here to see him catch the paint balls 2:57

[hemicalais]

paintballs slow down drastically over the last 5, its all bullshit

[hemicalais]

this guy is a homo

[cnc597]

this guy was on mythbusters trying to catch an arrow if u guys noticed that

[Jimstaa07]

Hmm i remember running, and catching a paintball in a red plastic party cup.

My friend shot it in the air, and i'm pretty sure it went over 250 feet lol.

I've also had a couple unbroken paintballs between my knees while getting shot at 40 feet.

Maybe it's not as hard if you practice?

We used to shoot people in the pocket, and sometimes it wouldnt break at all. lol

[huynhhao14]

damn i guess a someone trying to kick his face, he could easily dodge it

[ianj30]

he'd be a good hockey goalie

[whodidyounickabolloc]

man this guy must feel a right tit really fast

[xKami102x]

"Because of the danger involved, Paramedics..."

lol wut? He's got a thick jacket, gloves, and a face mask. What else do you need? :P

[CountryBoy425]

hes not even catching the damn things there hitting hit chest and stopping then he just acts like hes throwing it on the ground

[95blud3m0n]

dude i played paintball for two and a half years and shooting at that distance and that slow aint s#%$ compared to the way we played. i mean come on by the time it gets to him the ball will have slowed down to at least half its potential fps that dude just thinks he cool

[95blud3m0n]

dude i played paintball for two and a half years and shooting at that distance and that slow aint s#%$ compared to the way we played. i mean come on by the time it gets to him the ball will have slowed down to at least half its potential fps that dude just thinks he cool

[Kerriecan]

this is the worst ripleys ive ever seen......

[BeefBowlFridays]

230 fps isn't much really. You can see it flying out and with precision muting, it's pretty easy.

[TheProBest]

What about BULLETS ??

[slayercorsr]

id love to see him catch one from me 11 ego.

[foughtwolf]

@slayercorsr

Still going the same speed numb-nuts.

[alextang07021]

what if the guy change the gun mode into auto, instead of single shot

[tjobtjobtjob]

i have to lol at the fact that there were paramedics at the scene.... LOL

[oldman32123]

Yea hes an aussie!

[GeneralxRAAM]

this video is hilarious...... y paramedics? been shot a thousands times on hands, chest, legs even in the nuts which freakn hurt. and i aint bragging but ive caught some from 60 feet flyin 260 fps yea it was luck but.....

[Jcliveshere]

@GeneralxRAAM It is probably because they have to just in case something does happen. It is probably to cover there asses.

[rapidistucfl]

is this HD?

[mrsmariarosella]

would be better if he was actually running and catching them out of the air

[72dew]

bullet time anyone?

[TheJMachine]

all you need to know is how quickly it takes from shot to chest in order to catch them effectively if the speed is faster than the human eye can register.

[jwtullis]

@TheJMachine: Yeah I'm sure it's just that easy....

[talantrent]

i have done this befor and alot closer than he was its not that hard and going almost 340 fps

[talantrent]

i have done this befor and alot closer than he was its not that hard

[S1nep]

You can't really see if he is actually catching the paint balls.Half of them are probably just hitting his chest and luckily not breaking.

[thedrunkenelf]

They pronounce 'armidale' so strangely lol. I'm from the next town along from there.

[petet285]

@thedrunkenelf haha yeah-American accents

[skyarsalan]

that is not super human repllexs, why?

here is the proof:

It took him a while before he tried on Ripley's

he failed on his first couple of tries, proving that he somehow uses the time that the bullet takes to come to him

they are all shot in the same general direction

[TURTLEMANN5]

gollum took a bath a beginning

[Aydee2020]

norris

[Georgeqaws]

what danger people shoot these at each other for fun. sure they hurt a bit but nothing that bad

[ANT818]

chuck norris once kick'd an atom bomb and tht place is now known as death valley

[corrupt324]

This is nothing Chuck Norris can catch the bullet of a Intervention with his teeth

[wowsux97]

LOL hes invincible at paintball he just runs to the field and catches a few paintballs and shoots everyone else :D

[hippiesornot]

dad is like a psyco

[naruto31077]

im dissapointed they only showed him breakin wood. because as bruce lee said just cuz you can break wood, that doesnt mean you know martial arts. although that's really impressive catching

[PaytonJonesTV]

Beggining is so creepy!!!

[TrandomnesstwO]

Was that Lady Gaga I saw in the intro?

[grantland469]

I miss ripleys, funny stories, cheezy stories, and the one thing sexual for the sci-fi nerds =)

good times

[juan9969]

i bet you Neo from the Marix showed him that trick. lol

[sexyass02]

@juan9969

sorry but this series came before matrix.

[SquintyFries]

do they really need paramedics? I mean, c'mon

[royalsteven]

Shit, this guy would win any world series for any team! O_O

[Acsmitte5]

he said hed be right back but he lied!! :(

[Pengocent]

he isnt catching it really it goes to his stomach and he just puts his hand as soon as the guy fires..

[RonixEnclave]

@Pengocent If it went straight to his stomach you'd see the splat. It's the same way you catch an egg without breaking it, you flow with the momentum, because flatly catching it would result in breaking it.

[makscharip97]

Airsoft rocks you didn't know that paintballs were used to mark buildings airsoft. Guns come in a veriaty of shapes and sizes from pistols to rifles to snipers all you guys have with paintball guns is just one model of a stupid gun and one more thing can you play paintball at a regular park or a complex of buildings I didn't think so.

[Realestkilla1]

He should try catching bullets now!!!! Lol hahahahahaha

[Con281]

Don't try it .....  It kinda hurts :(

[Prometheus666333]

That looks like a really fun challenge.

[PersonguydudeWB]

Paramedics? For real? Geez something is wrong with some aussies.

[Deaththrea10]

yay he lives near me

[makscharip97]

paintball sucks go airsoft

[explosivedog66]

@makscharip97 That's your opinion. Quit trying to make yourself seem any cooler than you are, because airsoft is no different than paintball if you use .43 caliber paintballs. I like paintball more because you can see that you shot the guy, while in airsoft you could miss and then be screwed. They don't have airsoft speedball though, do they? Do they have anything besides woods airsoft? Didn't think so.

[Defmid7]

thats at heartbreak ridge

[astrangeone]

Lol. I want this guy on my team!

[sporadiccleaner5168]

u cant catch 30bps

[demazphantom]

Mythbusters apparently busted the arrow catching one but this was filmed after it i think.

[explosivedog66]

@sporadiccleaner5168 THANKS CAPTAIN FUCKIN OBVIOUS

[hotsaucedahustla]

Damn man. 230Fps or whatever. That's still pretty damn fast. That takes some honed reaction skills and refined training. Kudos to that guy.

[BrokenDash4]

Catching paintballs? I bet he can run on walls and dodge bullets too :/

[PhoenixNuke]

lol the average bullet travels at around 2700 ft per second, thats more than 10 times the speed of a paintball.

[BrokenDash4]

That which I said was internet sarcasm, it takes a little while to learn it (that isn't sarcasm :O). Blowing things out of proportion can either make you seem very ignorant or amusing, and I'd rather take the second one, but in this case, I failed.

[slayer1510]

@PhoenixNuke clearly not 10 time seeing as tho paintballs usually travels 300ft per second

[PhoenixNuke]

Well im going by the guy in the video's speed, but it would still be around 9 times. 9 x 300 = 2700.

[88blockNS]

Everyone could do that with practice and gloves, 230 fps isnt too fast, you can see it coming at you.

[baconator490]

you can see 300fps flying at you too

[readie15495]

i can do that *lies*

[LilAuzzieDrummerGirl]

:o i live near armidale :)

[simshak4534]

So do I :O

[AaronOvLs28]

Pritchard on Dirty Sanchez takes 103 Paintball hits to the Body because of this Guy.

[platapussman]

ahhh this is true lol

[burn2dust]

it's like catching a bullet!

[platapussman]

um i like how there is medics for 230 fps lol i use airsoft guns with hard plastic bbs at 370

[DantevKratos]

Damn...

[bloomman123]

that would be hard

[unknownkiller00]

omg you dont need medics for apintball its the least harfull sport there is 0 people have need a hospital visits(if there not stupid and dont go like bare)

[Daibron]

@unknownkiller00 there was one guy that got blasted in the package by one, he got both nuts removed D:

[unknownkiller00]

@Daibron poor bastard

[XxshadowsquadxX]

paintballs cant kill u

[sk84lyfe19]

no dude! no one thinks its funny and no one thinks ur funny! why dont u do the world a favor and drop dead. ur mother owes the earth an apology for bringing u into this world! why do u always have to do this? everywhere u go! come on, u really have no life at all do u? u look so pathetic right now! my whole crew has been laughing at absolutley every comment u left so far, because u obviously have nothing to say. delete both ur accounts for God's sake cause ur not gonna get me to delete mine!

[HospitalBomber]

They say "caught"... When i play i wear loose fitting clothes so the balls dont pop even if they DO hit me... I want to see the ball in his HAND not possibly flung from his chest. For the record... If you use PROBALL (its a brand of paint) they have much more rigid shells (helps keep shape so they go straighter and further) than say BrassEagle or or Diablo. This is crap...

[hartsi8666]

if the distance is long enough, the ball can hit you staight into face and it won't blow, or harm you. basic physics, right? Pretty amazing, though

[jheztah]

can he catch the bullet of barret.. 50. cal ? :)) lol

[lukeluis]

@jheztah and intervention too ;)

[B744ER]

@jheztah wonder if he could catch the nade from a noob tube?

[fijiwater44]

i got hit with paintblls before and it left a bruse like 3in. across

[ChildOfTheSettingSun]

Gooooo australia!

[Opelkoenjas]

Heck, I'm not even gonna try this one... lolol

[sk84lyfe19]

just ignore that stupid kid

[Opelkoenjas]

@KillahLedesma: get a life and learn to read before you comment back.

@sk84lyfe19: amen to that!!

[Korean17]

230fps is about.. 140 miles an hour?

[desperado288]

hhahaha

what a dumb fuckin show hey?

and the hopper is on backwards :D

[marcus0069]

at 230 fps, ill catch paint, try dodging paint from 30 ft. while guns are shooting 280 fps.
