“but shot him with “pepper balls” (not sure what that is...)”
A pepper ball gun is actually a paintball gun that fires plastic balls (Pepper balls) filled with powdered oleoresin capsicum. Basically powdered pepper spray.
Thank you, Stormdog. I know whatever it was.. it sounded like it would hurt. I remember when our next door neighbor’s boys and husband went to a paint ball range.. they all came back with bruises. I assume that a pepper ball gun leaves a bruises AND a burn.
