Not so ludicrous. The article clearly stated that they can be used to help "subdue crowds" and they though this would be a mostly European crowd who are not used to seeing guns let alone being shot at. If you were in a crowd at Olympic Square and a cop started shooting a paintball gun and you suddenly found yourself covered in red paint,you would probably freeze for a few moments.

The soldier said they beat him and stole his rifle. Obviously, he's going to start shooting at that point, most soldiers would. I find it funny, however, that some random source says they landed with paintball guns, and then the soldier goes on to say they stole his rifle (which is now apparently a paintball gun), which took part in his deciding to shoot them.
Some random source - Two of the commandos and the Israeli Military spokesperson are not random source, they are just sources you choose not to believe.
