<shrug> the topic was getting fairly dead anyway... If anyone seriously complains about the hijack I'll apologize and let it get back on track.

Heh... I'm not aware of any unit by that name, or of any naming convention like that.  We've got so few regular force (active service, not reserves) units that it's impossible to make one up and not get caught...

If you are saying you are in the Canadian military, then why is your forum name Usafpilot? As in United States Air Force Pilot.

alright dont write this off, im sure its possible...

what you need is a closed bolt mechanism,...

The closed bolt argument has already been made, its been proven by several companies and people on this very forum not to make any difference in accuracy or range on paintball markers. I also once believed the dream, but now I have come to see the truth.

alright heres a new idea i just thought of that takes care of a major issue with this design: the fact that the paint inside the ball would not spin, causing instability. so what if you cut open a paintball at the seam and put some sort of barrier in between the two halves of the ball. something like latex or thin plastic like in bags. this would separate the sphere into two non-circular sections, therefore the paint could not help but move with the shell because the barrier would be attached to the shell. with this modification i see no reason why this "paintball" would not act much like a real bullet. i just drew this in paint:


Yoru forgetting that the paint still moves when it will spin.  Momentim is your enemy, the paint moves, and keeps moveing, the spins become more and more exagerated.  Then you are forgetting the fact that latex is not biodegradable, you are left with many many bits of latex all over.

this problem is easily solved using a straight rifled barrel such as the CMI Tru-Flite barrel, it cuts spin and increases accuracy a great deal
Because I can.

You don't need a rifled barrel. The weight balance and wind resistance characteristics of the projectile would keep it straight regardless.
