how long will a paint grenade last? I have a box of 20 that have been sitting for a couple months. Would they still be good?

try one out if you can. i think they should be good as long as you didn't store them inside your oven.

TOSS IT IN A CAR you cant hang out with the cool kids if you dont.

Woot peer pressure

first i didn't buy them baha, i just got them with a deal of paint lol. I never use them, i wanted to toss them at a deer in my back yard but wasn't sure if they would still be good.

They are those crappy tippmann grenades.

Hit it with a hammer before you throw it.

Those things always turned into a game of catch for me... throw it and you know it is going to get thrown back.   They usually go off somewhere between the 5th and 10th time they hit the ground.

They probably weren't good to begin with. Squadbusters are horrible, someone threw one at me bounce off my back didn't break but I still hauled butt....

Just give it a good shake.

It'll be fine. They sat at your proshop/dealer for a lot longer than a month before you got them.
