it all depends on the situation. if you are at a field and you signed a waiver forum then probably not but that form isn't worth much in court.

Is playing paintball in your backyard in Florida legal?

Well it depends on how big your backyard is and where you live.

Now if you have a lot of property than have fun. Note if you live in a rich neighborhood like a country club or any gated community, old people will probably poop on the party and call the cops, but the cops cant do anything except tell you, you cant shoot anymore.

Is paintball dangerous in any way?

The only real dangers in paintball are when masks are not worn, and injuries associated with any sport. If you have the proper face protection on, the only way paintball is dangerous is if you slipped and fell on the field which could break bones potentially. Paintballs themselves, even at point blank range, properly chronographed guns can only break the skin and leave a welt, which should disappear in a few days, especially on younger players. Hits from regular-long engagement lenght will leave only a small red ring, or larger red area. It is a misconception that freezing paintballs will turn them into dangerous solids, this is simply not true. When paintballs are frozen, the shell becomes extremely brittle, and will break inside their gun or on you, causing less pain, as the slightly more viscus paint hits you.
