Is it possible for them to put dimples in the paintballs because i bet it would make them go way more strait.

Just pay the one time cost of a flatline or apex and it would be much cheaper.

lots of problems with dimple idea.. but it would be neat to experiment with. we should just fill some paintballs with helium.. then we could get AMAZING range.. specially if we could make the casing light enough so they could reach a sort of neutral buoyancy.. thye would just keep flying till they stopped and floated around and people could run into them.............

Ever try to hit a home run with a wiffle ball? Or have you ever tried to hit a ping pong ball 200 yards with a golf club? It's not happening. The object has to have fairly significant mass in order to fly very far.

Helium inflated footballs travel a shorter distance than regular air filled footballs.

In order to sound sarcastic on the interwebz, you need to include a lot of ridiculous smilies and a lot of "zomg's."

dimpled... like a golf balls... which uses those dimples to "catch" air

we want the paintballs to go through the air... not catch it

Im not sure that I understand. Do you mean the kind of dimples that are
in paintballs when you get them from kmart? Those dont fly farther, they
just break in your barrel.

the dimples were put on golf balls to make them more aerodynamic
