hey every one i was uber bored in class to day so i started thinking about paintball. so i had an idea: everyone is talking about the problems with paint mines right? the co2 dispersion is easy, but getting the paintballs (if thats what your using) to burst is pretty friggin' hard. but ill cut to the chase. drop the paintballs is water. but no alot of water becase then thay become to bloated and weak. then it takes less pressure to burst and the kill zone for the ball is larger. albiet a little pale. ------------- rock and roll- my anti-emo |

When paintballs are wet, they are softer, true, but they are also more flexable and stretchy. It's harder for them to pop like that. You need firmer, more sensative balls to bust them effectively. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

| Why not just use a water soluable paint. Then have the CO2 spray the paint everywhere. |

I make trip wire booby traps out of Tippmann Squadbuster grenades. They work everytime. Quick to set-up, guaranteed to work, nothing to retrieve after trap has been set-off. Perfect. ------------- I've never seen anyone own the woods because of what marker they use. |

just trying to bounce ideas around. might make it a little easier an that way you not luggin real paint around to refiill all the mines. it could also be a cheap way to make grenades insted of paying 5 buck for a wet willie or squad buster ------------- rock and roll- my anti-emo |

| usually you use em once a round? that would be stupid to pack the paint around. Sometimes they dont get stepped on either |
