Is the paint used in paintball guns poisonous if swallowed?

Guns may be poisonous when swallowed

I suppose it's possible to get some sort of heavy-metal poisoning after swallowing a paintball gun, but I would imagine that you would choke to death while trying to wolf it down. Even if you didn't choke to death, you would probably die from a bowel obstruction later. I recommend avoiding the gun and opting for something less ambitious, like a burger and fries.

simple answer:

no, they are non toxic.

Elaboration on the simple (and correct) answer:

Of course they are non-toxic. The paint used in paintballs is made from cod liver oil, which is why they smell if you leave them in the sun, and is also why the paint is so greasy.
