gelatin/plastic stuff I believe. Their thickness determines how
hard/brittle they are. None will be soft unles they are warped/exposed
to inclement/unfavorable weather.

They are made out of gelitin. They become soft when they collect mositure and hard when it gets cold.
Thickness plays almost no role. A thin shell will be as brittle as a thick shell, only the amount of moisture matters. |

no plastic in paint. everything paint is made out of has to be biodegradable. |

Actually there are paintballs made with plastic shells, I forgot the link, found it years ago when I was first getting into the sport. EDIT : Not what I was looking for, but they are mentioned here : Link Edited by Darur |
