I just found my old model 98 and i was wondering if any one has ever shot any thing other than paintballs. Like potatoes, bouncy balls, or maybe even marbles.

An answer to both of my posts this one and the one about extra 12 gram cartriges.

1)Get 30 dollars

2)Go to walmart and buy a talon

3)Go home home and put a boucy ball in the barrel and gas it up.

4)Fire away

i have a friend who did some stuff. (gumballs and marbles) as for me all i've done (just curious to how much the group would stay together) is put airsoft bb's in a shotgun wad and shot it.

You sir are a moron.

To win darwin awards:

buy 25" barrel.

use welding torch to bend it backwards in u-shape

stick all co2 cartrages in barrel.

fire

repeat if necessary

I have these crab apple trees in my backyard and we sometimes have a crab apple paintball match. Idiotic yes, but also very fun.

Gobstoppers and cheries sometimes work also

It's best to restrain yourself from talking back to noobs, they're very territorial and easily angered. Then they will attempt to abuse you, with back up from other noobs, because they work in packs.

Old squeegies are good. Too new ones might be 2 tight a fit to fire out the barrel, but older ones fire out fine then you could experiment with different flights (thing they r called flights, aka feathers on the end)

I hope, if you ever do shoot something at someone besides a paintball from your gun at someone, that they get you back.

Maybe shoot something even harder back at you.
