Dis armed
A blow dart gun could be fun.

The intruders have to sign a waiver like you do when you go play paintball and airsoft at a business

For home defense it really needs to be an escalation of force.
1) Name calling (can be accentuated with sticking your tongue out at the intruders to let them know you're not playing).
2) Nerf guns (nothing says GTF outta my house as politely and quietly as a 18-20 FPS NERF projectile to the head).
3) If armed assailants have kicked in your door pull out all the stops and go with the paintball (at this point they've really asked for it anyway).

I think he was sans arm for the last moments of his existence.
Poor guy went through the ringer though as I recall having to defend against potential charges. It was outside the residence in the yard I believe- ultimately the swordsman was cleared.
Rubber band finger guns are OK but spitwads are a no go until the COVID restrictions are lifted

If you're not going to get a gun to protect your life, buy a few of these and stick them on various walls around your home.

If someone breaks in to take things, they'll do it while your away to minimize risk. If someone breaks in while you're there, they are likely doing it KNOWING you're there with the intent to harm you. Get a gun. Learn to use it. Be prepared to use it if you need to. Relying on paintballs guns and airsoft is stupid. Like...really stupid.

During a similar discussion in a different venue , I dug into the particulars on paintball .
.68 has about 10 ft lb , .50 has less than 4 ft lb .
There is of course neverending debate about minimum level of acceptable ( terminal smack down , be it quantified in ft lb , momentum , or whatever ) . But 10 ft lb for damn sure isn't it . The typical 7yo child can throw a rock with much more than that .
Paintball makes .22 Short seem like a powerhouse in comparison .
For any hypothetical convicted Felons out there , Cap & Ball revolvers are far superior to paintball/ airsoft , when restricted to * Items not legally firearms *

M855 at 3000 fps works better. Just not as artsy without the paint.

What Jeff Cooper said about .25 Auto would also be appropriate here.
If it makes you feel good to carry one, go ahead. But do NOT load it. If you load it, you may be tempted to shoot at someone. And if you did, you might hit them. And if you hit them, you will make them VERY mad at you.

Might as well try this instead. It's a cheaper solution and probably just about as effective.

Maybe if you froze the paintballs or used marbles of the same diameter, or used paintballs filled with the green poison gas that the joker and penguin used in the 70's batman TV show.

Get yourself a big dog and/or a big womans. Added benefit, they keep you warm on those long cold February nights, and run security.
but remember to add "I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries."
Nothing say you’re pissed and gonna take drastic action like putting on your mask/face protection and strapping on a couple tubes of paint...
