When we were bored enough in the 80s, we would play "barrel ball", which meant you could only use your barrel, and blow out the paintballs.

Problems were obvious- It was hard to get about 150fps. So we all aimed for the goggles. This worked out since you had to face someone to shoot at them, but you also left yourself exposed....

The local field did ban slingshots back then though. The larger slingshots could well exceed 300fps with no way to controlling safety.
