Only as far as you trust your homing system. I can't imagine putting a sensor package into a paintball that can pick one specific person out of a crowd is going to be as simple or reliable as putting it in a gun and just having it shoot carefully.
I interpreted what we saw in the linked video not as homing pellets, but as a sight that recognizes a humanoid silhouette and adjusts ballistics (adaptive choke? spin for a curve ball effect?) to maximize pattern on target.
