Damage is one body hit up close, with no armour. A headshot multiplies it against players only. Damage per second empties one magazine and counts the reload. Velocity and spread are applied locally by your game client, while the server bounds their limits.

The Paintball Gun breaks down into Metal Fragments and Metal Pipe.
A recycler takes one at a time.

In Rust, Paintball Gun is a ranged weapon in the Weapons category (item ID #-707792719, console shortname paintballgun). Loaded with standard Paintball, it delivers 0.2 base impact damage from a 30-round magazine in active combat. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 1 hour.
An air gun that uses compressed gas to fire and make targets works of art.
Crafting Paintball Gun in Rust takes 15 seconds by hand without a workbench, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
When comparing Paintball Gun against related weapons in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (15 seconds per craft) and recycle surplus spares at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base efficiency) rather than a safe-zone yellow recycler (forty percent efficiency) to maximize recovered materials.
