You knw how paintballs, if left outside for a few days or just left out get all bloded. They grow like 2 times their normal size. Most people just throw them away. Try this though. Keep them and in a game, use them for hand to hand combat. All you have to do is plat it agains someone and break it. It adds a whole new eliment to the game. I've done a few games where thats all we did. Snuck up on eachother and Smack... their out. ------------- If you can see me, its only because I already shot you. |

Isn't the paintball gun just a wee bit more effective than smacking paint on someone? If you're gonna try to recycle paintballs like that, you might just be better off keeping a slingshot in your back pocket like Denis the Menace. |

I would use them for paint 'nades. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

and if you smacked someone with one...wouldn't that mean that you got hit as well cause half the paint will be on your hand? Anyways yeah making paint grenades or something seems logical. ------------- http://www.freewebs.com/outlawspaintball/index.htm - Outlaws *Sponsors* http://www.abrika.ca - Abrika |

I think the grenade and slingshot are both good ideas. But you would have to have a short elastic or one that couldn't go over 300fps at full length. ------------- http://img25.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img25&image=mysnowboard9md.jpg">

For the folks who don't "get" why someone would want to sneak up and splat someone by hand, heres two thoughts. 1. It's about the challenge. Which is more fun to brag about; eliminating someone or sneaking up on them and gaining such an advantage that they have no choice to surrender without firing a shot? Even though I haven't tried "hand-splatting" I understand the thrill. Things I have tried to make things a little more exciting include using a pump when everyone else has semis or going out with just a pistol and 20 rounds when everyone else has 200 or more paintballs. 2. Also, you can develop personal movement tactics to an extremely high level when you have to get that close for an elimination. One of my personal goals is to get a "barrel tag" elimination. While I haven't done that yet, I have got about a dozen "surrenders" that have come my way while striving for the elusive barrel tag. -------------

I would LOVE to see you shoot a paintball from a slingshot at 300 fps. ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

I dont think that you have, paintballs are water soluble. They are becoming bloted because they have come in contact with water in some way. Therefore the only way for that water to escape is t leak out the side, lettig the fill leak out with it o it willr pop ------------- Check out the team site http://www.tippmanntorment.20megsfree.com - Tippmann torment team site Macdev cyborg black/yellow #371, evil scion 68/4500, ccm no rise |
