Paintball Gun Not Dropping

[Shayzen_AG]

I've killed my painter 20 or so times and he still has not dropped the Paintball Gun. It will be my favorite ranged weapon when I do get it, but for the time being I feel like I've done something wrong that won't allow me to obtain it. I've been dousing the painter in lava and then picking it back up before he dies. It supposedly has a 10% drop rate but I still can't get it. Does anyone know if this is just bad luck or if I am doing something incorrectly?

It is only a 10% drop, so you could simply just be unlucky. How thick is the lava? Its possible its dropping but instantly being destroyed. 1 bucket of lava in a pit 7 wide is ideal for not destroying items.

I remove the lava before he dies so it shouldn't make a difference.

That isn't what he asked, is it? Lava will destroy items instantly.

As of 1.3 though you can use water to drown NPCs. Get them in a hole 4 blocks deep and then fill it with water. I suggest also placing trap doors so that they will walk on them, then open the door when they are on it and drop 'em in, then wait for the drowning.
