Rubber Paintballs!!!!!

[AcemanPB]

they still would be cost effective for target practice, because you can go pick them up and use 'em agian

We bought some of those foam paintballs from www.foampaintballs.com and had a blast playing in our hotel room at the Chicago Open. They so almost sting worse than a regular paintball, but there were sure fun.

You know that some immature pranksters with tippy's (or some other common marker) are going to use those to wreck people's property or even hurt other people. Other than that potential hazard, it's a great idea, but I wonder how the rubber balls compare to regular paintballs performance-wise. I hope these don't ruin your barrels!

DONT DIS TIPPYS

[OldSchoolMag]

He didn't "dis" the Tippmann line, but rather meant that it was common and cheap enough that people who aren't interested in playing paintball, but rather misusing the equipment would pick one of these markers up, rather than an Angel, etc. Just calm down man.

what happens when you get hit in the goggles? That could crack the lense pretty quickly ...paintballs dont just bounce off of lenses too often.

I've got some similar ones...called action balls i think. I had 50 at one point...now i have 3 I think, and thats all indoor use

IT says to lower your speed to 200fps and not shoot at people. they hurt like a mofo.... I tured my velocity wayyyy down to the point they were lobbing accross my hall, and i stupidly shot myself in the hand on purpose and i almost broke my finger.

LOL....the joys of stupidity.

/me cringes. All we need is for someone to accidentally mix one with paint... or sicko to shoot people on purpose.

NYLON paintballs

My employer (who will remain anonymous)actually made nylon balls. Scary little things. Once he shot one at a bundle of cardboard about 1 1/2 feet thick, it went right through and dented the steel door behind. Another time he accidentally shot one at a stack of paint, it went through 2 cases and into a third. needless to say these things are kept under lock and key.

The foam paintballs we had were almost like little nerf balls. There is no way that they would really hurt anyone maybe just sting. And when you got hit in the gogles it just bounced right off and never would be solid enough to crack the lense. we left our velocity alone at about 280fps and it was fine. Stung but never would they actually hurt someone.

maybe its just me, but after the whole "hey lets drive around and shoot ppl with paintballs" thing, this seems like a really bad idea, just (IMHO)

To be honest... do you think folks are more likely to spend over $10 for 50 balls to do that, or spend $30 on 1000 real paintballs?

I've played bounce ball before. Each team stands on opposite sides of a pond. Stand in a single line. Hand feed the paintballs one at a time. The ball HAS to skip on the water then hit a person for them to be out. Once shooting starts you can run around, but you have to be at the shoreline. Hey, we were bored...what can I say?

Bit of advice....wear a cup. That's about the height they hit every time!

i say get them when you can, they're a good idea if you ask me, for target practice, and "those tech purposes" but like real paintballs i'm sure they'll get misused, so get em while you can. and in terms of you guys playing in your house, you don't already? i do, i have a little target up in the corner of my room w/ the walls and ceiling around it covered to protect from spray, that's what i do w/ all my tech stuff, right in my room

We use 'em around the yard.They are designed to shoot at people just like paintball with all the same safety gear.They don't hurt quite as bad as a paintball,but they are designed for use at 240fps max.
Yes,they do bounce off goggles.They're pretty fun for messing around the house.
