It's a ball of like a paintball but it doesn't explode when it hits something  and can be RE-used.

= Reballs

Reballs are just one brand of reusable paintballs, but because they tend to jam the least and require no lubrication, they are considered the best. They are the most expensive, but cheap reusaballs will give you nothing but headaches.

Depends on which version/brand you get. They run the gamut from foam rubber similar to shooting earplug or couch material to hard rubber similar to superballs. (For those too young to know what I'm talking about, think of the rubber balls that you can get out of gum machines.)

some say their hoppers have a hard time feeding with reballs but ive used my cyclone, an egg 2, and a reloader and had no problems.

Their great for indoor shooting when compined with a net and cushoning. ive got a vid of my 98 shooting some in the marker section.

I've also shot them to practise reloading skills. i mean, how often does it happen your in the woods and you have to look around for a pod etc and it takes to much time to reload and you dont want to throw a pod away in the woods either so you place it back. i have carpet in my basement so even in reballs fall on the floor, they dont bounce everywere .

The only reballs problems i had were with a pmr... and another guy on another forum had those same problems... i still dont no why... they shoot lets say 10 times then the rounds come out with no velocity....

This is verging on brilliance. Imagine a .68 calibre superball, fired at 280 FPS into an empty room composed of hard surfaces. The bouncing would be incredible.

  • That visual made me lol.
  • I should have specified as hard as superballs, but without the bounciness.

Reballs are used at a lower velocity at fields to compensate for them being slightly harder than paintballs.

Well I would say they feel softer than a paintball to the touch.

Becuase there's no shell, there is no "give" and thus more energy will be directed onto the hit, which will make it hurt a helluva lot more than a normal paintball.

That's what you were getting at, though.

I have used what is called riotballs. Yes I am in law enforcement and it was in a disturbance. They bounced quite nicely and ended the disturbance very quickly. They were bounce from all directions even behind them.

How do riotballs work, exactly?
You see a situation and just shoot them in the room hoping that the 'customers' get hit, or get scared and stop the nonsense? do you break a lot of household items with them?

Generaly you shoot them about 3 feet in front of your target, they bounce up it them in the shins and the target  goes down.  They considered a skip round. You can use them center mass as well if needed. They do havea tendency to bounce around quite a bit and yes, alot of things can and do get broken in the process. Think of a reball but one made of a hard rubber, not a soft one. Painful.

so there more painful, but I prefer to hit a target and mark him up...not too familiar with riotballs..

Are riotbals shot from a shotgun? do they have a special weapon for them?
Interesting stuff.

I'm surprised that someone hasn't thought of freezing paintbals AND agreeing to shoot them low hoping for a rebound to the shins.  I'd have to be on a pretty flat surface obviously.
