[MagMan5446]

All I know is that it's a very hard process that involves very expensive equipment...

well this may not be much help but it is the same type of machine that they make the gelcap cold and flu medicene with....

i belive its called and encapsalation (yup my sp sux) machine......

Well, when a mommy shell and a daddy shell really love each other..

:D

Paintballs are made with the same type of machine as liquid gelcaps (vitamins, advil, stuff like that) In fact, R.P. Shearer makes most of the gelcaplets used in medicines.

I'm not sure on the exact process, but I know it involves A pressing machine and a paint dropper thingy (mad technical terms ;))

Hope that helps, if not, I wish I could have helped more!
