i would ask a company like diablo or pmi. They could probly tell you a lot of information if you tell them you will talk about their paintballs.

[Flanders]

[panther]

go to RPS's website they say how they make the paintballs and warpig probably has an article on paintball manufacture too. If that helps any. ill look for the RPS site

HOW ARE PAINTBALLS MADE?

Paintballs are made by dye encapsulating machines. These machines, worth millions of dollars, also are used to make encapsulated drugs, such as gel-caps, "Contact C"-type drugs and even bath beads. It is not surprising, then, that most (if not all) paintball manufacturers are pharmaceutical companies.

The actual process is rather involved and technical, but in a nutshell here it is. Two wide ribbons of softened gelatin are
fed into the machine. These two strips are joined by two counter rotating drums that have dozens of concave "pockets" which form the paintball. At the same time the drums also
inject fill in between the gelatin strips and seal the seams, making the paintball. The paintballs are still very soft,
because the gelatin of the shell is still warm, and are placed
in a tumblers (to ensure roundness) until they are cooled and hardened enough for the next stage. They are then set on trays and left out to continue hardening.

A special machine packages the paintballs by weight, although a case of paint is sold by quantity. In a case of 2500 you will get, on average, from 2490 to 2510 paintballs.

I remember watching something on PIGTV where Bill Mills (not sure if its his name) interviewed Bud Orr on Worr Paint and it showed inside the factory and how the paintballs were made.. I'm not sure if that will help though.

actually, i also heard that magic gnomes make em. Cuz humans can't possibly make paintballs, it physically impossible, but magic can.

I have a APG mag and i think there was something about making paintballs on it, but that doesn't help u much.

try a search, or ask/email paintball suppliers.

[Flanders]

thank u incube

and that lil motion graphic is cool, i fiannaly get all those rps adds i was so confused

ok i get it, im gonna email rps again and ask em about prices

[Mikel]

I think this is the video i was talking about...http://www.pigtv.net/01_summary/01_mardigras.shtml

[Ice]

Paintballs are probably extremely cheap to make, so rps probably won't tell you the prices. (with you then knowing how the up the price $50)

ive baught gap straight from amanda fraige for like 30 bucks, her dad strted gap so thats cool

[Micewheelz72]

The reason paitnballs cost so much is the machines are millions of dollars to make and maintain. or so ive heard.

[Awhislyle]

definantly watch that video that he posted it shows alot and ttalks alot about how paintballs are made

[BLANK]
