Pete's right- the 40mm paintballs are difficult to see in flight and tend to richochet. One point I'd add is that they are much better at close range, and oddly enough they are easier to see in a wood as opposed to an open field. With small paintballs there's little point in standing back and blasting- you need to charge in close and go eyeball to eyeball.
If you wanted to build something really small like a motorcycle and sidecar or small armoured car 6mm balls might work.
