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 ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

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. ------------- Tippmann A-5/Zeus G1 E-Grip /w APE board QEV Vortex Flatline Dye UL 14 in. R5 Hopper Lapco offset rail with Tac Light/Scope OpsGear MP5 Sliding Stock OpsGear MP5 Mag kit SpecOps Front grip |

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. ------------- "Thats right, I play pump... your girlfriend borrowed my last set of batteries."

| 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. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |
