Some paintball guns run a curved barrel, called a flatline. It puts tremendous backspin on the ball, and couple that with deflection of the shape of the balls caused by the G's and you get lift.

I've seen Tippman guns shoot risers. If a human being could throws balls that fast with deformed sphere, I'm sure they'd rise too. No doubt about it.
