Have you ever been shooting at somone who is behind some brush.  Isn't it so annoying that all they are hit with is splatter?  There needs to be a paintball that brusts when squeezed or when they hit a solid surface but cannot be slashed like what happens to them when they hit brush.

We don't need paintballs to be anymore expensive. It was a good thought, but are you willing to pay $120 for a case of 'Doesn't Break on Brush!' paintballs? The only way I could think of doing that would be to make the paintball harder, which would kinda hurt if it can survive sticks thrashing at it.

Yeah that does get kinda annoying but like they said.  Who wants to spend $120 on a case of painballs?  Who would make them anyway?

Actually from what I've read Aromtech is making "Black Ops" paintballs which are supposed to be more durable and for woods play.  I've never used them but I'm on the Armotech forums every so often and thats where I saw it.  Some people on there have reviews up, which were pretty good.

just use blue streak! they never even break on the body. mix them in with your regular balls and theyll break the brush then the good ones will get through. and its the cheapest paint out there!

get marbalized paintballs, they dont break well but like "triggerhappy1" said, just mix a few in to your hopper, and who cares if they hurt more, it will be more realistic because you'll be more afraid to get hit.

the flatline puts backspin on the ball allowing it to pass through brush better. try that

um i think everyone here knows what the difference is between a solid a gas and liquids. There just trying to find a way to reduce the splatter caused by balls breaking in the brush.

I dont care what you say there are snipers in paintball

In my experience, Blue Streak paint does break. You're just lucky if it breaks on the target...

who told you that

if you shoot a paintball directly at a wall it breaks right.                    if you shoot a paintball at wall at an angle it bounces right         & nbsp;     

it is kinda like a tire if it hits a bump it just rolls over it.

when  the paintball is spining it just rolls over the twigs

                             i think thats what it is

^^correct me if im wrong^^

search before you post!
