yeah i tried that in my basement with my mag, most of the balls blew straight through the towel and broke against the wall. the ones that didnt ended up knocking the towel WAY back and putting a dent in it.

so, did it actually go through the blanket? or did they just break and the sprey went through the saturated blanket?

Don't think any ball actually made it through. Theres only bits and pieces of shell behind it, so I think it just broke on the blanket and forced itself through. Balls could have hit eachother as well, I left a decent amount of slack in it.

it would work just fine, if you set the blanket lose enough... with the blanket stretched like you had it theres no cushion for the paintballs. needs more cusion and it'd be fine

I had it really loose but the paintballs hit it with enough force to push it way back and fold up. Then I added some weights to the corners and it still folded in the center.

i tried it with just hanging a towel freely, and the balls still just went straight through it.

you know a better way to do that would be to have a large wire screen or a couple sheets and layer them and then have a towel setup to catch all the paint instead of having it hit the towel straight on

it was a great idea, it just didnt turn out all that good. and you were shooting fast so one ball might hit another and break. get some more slack and it will work.
