this topic doesnt really fit any of the forums so I jsut picked this one. Just had a quick questions, are paintballs environmentally friendly? I don't know if it matters what BRAND but I would be using xball bronze and area51 balls (cant remember how makes those at this second) |

This is the first time I've ever heard anyone.. anywhere, ask an enviromentalist question on paintball....We aren't gonna be here forever people! Let's tear it down while we can
 *ponders (wonder if it's possible to put acid in a paintball then freeze just the shell... and shoot it at squirrels....*

Yes, by all means, I think we should do as much as we can in the short time we are here to destroy our world around us...every morning, I wake up, cut down a tree, kill a bunny rabbit and burn a tire.

they are biodegradable and made of food grade ingredients . Lots of people care about what they are made of , including the Bureau of Land Management . |

A couple of mates and I gave a kid at school a red paintball from a Jaffa box (little red choc coated round things), we knew the kid so it was all good, but damn did he get a shock when he bit into it
Also I cant find it at the moment but I've got this wikid pic of a mate who has got all this paint around his mouth from a gog-hit, hes got some paintballs in his hand, looks like hes been caught eatin paint. |

People who are organised are just to lazy to look for things.

not all paintballs will bio-degrade some of them have plastic shells
that will lay around untill they are cleaned up(i just found this out
today when someone brought paint to the field that wasn't allowed)
