I have a question on the paintball cannon. How do you get a (nearly)
airtight seal on the rounds so the co2 won't escape? I have tried multiple kinds of wadding, but can't get a good seal. what ya'll think? ------------- l337 sp33k 1z fØr pØz3rz |

Thats not really and Idea. But you dont need an airtight seal. |

don't use wadding. Use a foam rubber football as a projectile. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

i know it isn't really an idea, but questions on Ideas don't really fit into the other categories. i have tried styrofoam cups, toilet paper,and paper cups for wadding, and the gas escapes around them too quickly ------------- l337 sp33k 1z fØr pØz3rz |

Styrofoam cups don't work? How big is your bore? Two styrofoam cups have always worked for me. Place the sealing cup upside-down in the barrel so that the open end goes in first and put the second cup with the paintball shot on top of it. When you shoot, the bottom cup will expand slightly and help seal the bore. If this still doesnt work, swab the barrel with vegtable oil. |

| use a paper towel fold twice to form a square, and make sure it goes in the barrel evenly. thats about as air tight as you can get. square paper towel wadding, paint, and balled up paper towel. works great for me !! |

| Nice idea carl_the_sniper but what material is that cover used to hold the paintballs in the cup? |

| I messed around a bit with my spudgun and paintball-launching (much too hot for field use). With a 1.5" bore, 3L soda bottle caps seemed to fit perfectly. I then made a bunch of sabots from cardboard and cardboard rings to hold them together until loading, topped them with paper towels. It could fit about 20 ball, or a balloon filled with crayola washable paint and some corn starch if you twisted it into sections. Also tried to not tie off the balloon and instead twisted it and stuck a small rectangle of cardboard onto the back so it would untwist in flight and air-burst, but it wasn't too reliable. |

the barrel will keep the sides from expanding. |
