can you make paintballs

[spyderman one]

i was just wondering if you could, porbly not huh oh well

[Counterfeit]

The answer is now way in hell. Even some of the paintball companies have to have the paintballs made for them.

[spyderman one]

making paintballs are easy...just take a couple of steel ball bearings roughly the size of a piantball....then take a bucket of paint and dipt he bearings....oh...legal paintballs...nah you cant make them....

[ElectricHead]

making paintballs would be like impossible... unless you just wanted to poor some paint inso a little mold and let it dry...

[TLplus84]

no man i'm telling you...steel ball bearings are the way to go...i mean..the bearing won't break on impact...but i'm guaranteeing that something else will..be it a window, car door, goggle lens, arm bone, skull......:eek:

You can make your own paintballs. However, they wouldn't be biodegradeable and would invovle a lot of work. You can order plastic paintball shell halves from http://www.pcpaintball.com , fill them with what you like, and seal 'em up. I wouldn't encourage it for safety and environmental reasons, but it can be done ;)

thats what i have heard if you try to make them they aren't so good and dont shoot so good.only if you got the technique and have the right stuff the it might be a good ball..but its very unlikely that you would make a good ball..

[TLplus84]

eh...i would reather just buy marbs...i trust them more than i trust myself..

[ElectricHead]

no **** id probably fill em up with cyanide on accident or somethin

[Paintball Monkey]

Actually there is a company called pepper ball that makes pepper spray filled paintballs for law enforcement use.

[ElectricHead]

are they 68 cal??

[TLplus84]

hahaha i'd abuse them soo much......go up to my hated enemies..HEY *****~! TASTE THIS~!!! haha no taht would be wrong..i wouldn't abuse my gun like that.

[ElectricHead]

hmmm... if a paintball can kill someone if it hits em in the eye, and these paintballs are filled with pepperspray, wouldnt people get like seriously injured from these?

[TLplus84]

to the cops..it's one of those "non fatal" ways of taking down crooks...just like Beanbag shotguns and rubber bullets..and just like the two above, paintballs are mostly non fatal, but can be lethal. Rubber bullets are known to kill people too.

[ElectricHead]

i think they used all three of those along with tear gas cannons up here in washington during the WTO riots... hey just curious did you guys get any of that on the news... i wonder if it was national news...

[TLplus84]

i heard about the beanbag shotguns and teargas...but no rubber bullets or killer paintballs..

[Counterfeit]

Rubber bullets, beanbag rounds (those are fun to shoot), teargas paintballs, cork/ruber shot, ect. Are not non-fatal. They are called less leathal. Because, they still have the potential to kill, they are just "less leathal" than other alternatives.

[Counterfeit]

Thats what I am talking about it was a huge story all across the world. My family from texas, florida, cali, and colirado were calling to see if the bellingham police were going to get called out to help controll the riot.

You're jokin', right, Like it was the biggest news Item that entire month, and you're wonderin' if it was on the national news ... DUDE!! :eek:

[ElectricHead]

i always wonder about stuff like that, for instance, washington in one persons opinion could be a boring place, i always see specials on tv about places like florida and think, man it would be cool to go there, but a couple years ago i was in las vegas and i saw a special on washington. i wonder if people who see those think, man it would be cool to go there, about our state
