Yes, paintball guns.
Also, notice that none of the "soldiers" are wearing helmets. They all have bare heads, but they have face and eye protection. Notice that at least 3 of them have large pressurized CO2 bottles.
Either Reuters is full of sh*t... or Ukraine is in worse trouble than we thought.
If they are just using paintball guns as a prop, it does not make sense that they would include the CO2 cans in the prop. What purpose would it have. Surely they are not intending to shoot the paintball guns.
I took screen shot of picture, and zoomed in on it. I can't tell that they are paintball guns. Now I am not that familiar with PB guns, but I know what a real gun looks like. What do you see in picture that says these are PB guns.
I think this might be because staffers at Reuters don't actually know what real military gear looks like. Meaning this is incompetence not an attempt to fool us.
Pretty sure this is a photo of a paintball game, perhaps being played as part of some military training.
It's just more of the over-the-top Lamestream redpilling. They are putting out so much rubbish and presenting it as "Ukraine war" that you gotta think, on some level, either they are doing it deliberately, to red-pill, or they are just so utterly incapable now (and their resources have been so destroyed) that they just look for random pics and post them with captions, thinking normies won't even think about it.

They give the reddit-tards that are volunteering paintball guns
41% of those redditors still managed to off themselves.
Haha, trannies.
Yep. However no hoppers for the paint ammo..so I think Airsoft BB's like Silo and Novritsch use on their YT channels.
They sting but they will not Keeel (Think Doug Marcaida)
Stock photo from the last European Airsoft gathering, perhaps?
Look at the second guy from the left and the guy behind him - he has a big hopper on the air rifle.
Zoomed to 400% now I see the hoppers...
I guess they are down to the teargas pepper markers...lol
I stand corrected :)
That's definitely not Airsoft, Thats paintball.
Ivan Badassov, Russia’s most daring soldier, now wears a polka dot uniform
Kek. Those are some large CO2 bottles, though. This is very serious paintball.
HPA, high pressure air. Those tanks are stupid expensive.
"...or Ukraine is in worse trouble than we thought."
Well, they are crouched down in an open field. Discussing strategy?
Either way, bad optics
As a paintballer myself, I instantly recognized the headgear. What a crock.
Those look more like HPA, high pressure air bottles... At least they're being "green" haha
