Another reason not to use "spank" paint.

[kauai_paintball]

Well, I opened a 500 bag of "spank" paint the other day (being short on money and wanting to shoot a tree out of boredome) and out of boredome I decided to first count the paint. from the bag to a large bow, carelfully moved the paint while counting it. 497. where was my 3 paint? recount. 497. wtf? are companys so desperate to make monoey that they short people on paint. :rolleyes:

Haha... I always wondered if they actually count the balls at the factory or just estimate based on weight or something.

I doubt they hand count it, they probably just have a machine that dumps 500 into a bag and most times it is off by 2 or 3. Its no big deal man, you probably would have dropped three filling your hopper or pods.

Dude, I'd rush down to the shop and demand that I get my 10 cent refund!

They measure in weight. Suck it up.

thats like raisen bran cereal not having 500 raisins! OMG SUE THE !$#@%^% You bought 500 not 497!

[funkmunky56]

ALL brands of paint are like that, my friend. Such is life. next bag you get may have 504 balls in it! The great lottery that is paintball. w00t...

One time I got 502 :D Muwhahaha, but the next time I bought 500 I only got 498...

Hey, don't hate the spank! That stuff is great for what it costs, and I find myself shooting it more and more at practices. I happen to like shooting balls of glue at people :D
