i was thinking about an idea where paintballs are tightly wrapped in a plastic of some kind that would fit in a hopper and have a special coating on the hopper that reacts with the plastic to make it dissolve instanly. i thought this could be helpful to eliminate then need to fill pods and would be faster loading on the field. -------------

that wouldnt eliminate the idea of pods. you would need somthing to hold the paint so it dosent break when you fall or lie down in the wrapping. -------------

So, basically he's saying somethig that resembles snap on clips for a gun. To better improve upon this idea, you know how 100 rounds of paintballs come in tubes? Well, maybe make a case of 2,000 all come in "clips" that can be shoved into a special hopper. OR, you could just as easily design a "pod" that looks like a clip that fits over the holes to a hopper and you push a button to send a spring loaded burst of paintballs into the hopper- thats quick loading, and cost effective since it's reusable. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

if the bags were to dissolve it would:
1. leak down into the gun 2. get the hopper dirty 3. get the balls dirty ------------- 2K4 cocker ~ black EVIL PIPE ~ silver tip P.E. 68 cui 3000 psi ~ Black cover ricochet hopper ~ black P.P.S. 3-way ~ black More to come! |

Actually you can do that. put the balls in a grocery bag then throw acid all over it. that would be interesting. ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom J&J Ceramic 14 in.

This has got to be the worst idea I have ever seen. I think I'll stick with my hoppers. ------------- "Caution, Lethal in large doses" www.freewebs.com/teamlethaldose |

it wouldnt jus evaporate it would need some where to go once it turns into gas could work but instead onf one speed pod you would load about 3-4 of these things I wouldnt see the point. But they do have materieal that once it doesnt touch air anymore it hardens up and evaporates once it hits o2
