Where can you get these things. I've heard people talk about them, but do they exist. If so where can you buy them. Thanks :cool:

when i was on vacation in north carolina one time, we went to an arcade and they had a little indoor field set up but instead of paintballs they were using balls of cork or something, it was pretty cool. Then some guy just went around with a vaccuum sucked them all up, and reused em

pepperball.com sells law enforcement paintballs...pepper filled and such. They also have some cool clear ones. But my point is I think they sell rubber paintballs, kinda like foam, I guess.

mini marshmallows work good too....but they can still hurt at close range, and they tend to jam. try it luke a musket game, one shot at a time

they're also very unpredictable, so its fun to shoot at your friends

lol...sounds alot more fun than lasertag :D

oh yeah i dont think styrophoam packinng material would work, those things are really fragile and will probably get blasted into peices when the bolt hits it with the air

do i even need to mention the potential for personnal injury here! in the early 90s someone came up with the brilliant idea of a 'target practice reusable paintball' so the idiots manufacted and sold hard plastic white 'paintballs'! it wasnt long before one was shot at a pair of jt's (on a coffee can not a face) and it shattered the lense. so if your gonna put things in ytour gun that it wasnt designed for, atleast dont stick your finger down the feed tube whenit jams!:rolleyes:

i dont think its that big of threat...those foam paintballs dont hurt, and besides as long as a mask is being used its really fun. reminds me of the time that my friends and i went to some abandoned houses and turned our velocity as low as it could go and played urban paintball. it still hurt like a ***** but it was fun as hell!

well your missing one of the main points of them...THEY ARE REUSABLE :P

might have to clean them so you don't get junk in your gun, but i bet it'd be fun this 4th of july for our party we have...i might have to pick up a few bags :)

I have a few bags of foam balls
they are really entertaining

chrono your marker at 200 fps (any higher and they make sharp turns leaving the barrel)
