    Catching Paintballs? :)

    I was at http://www.guinessrecords.com

    and I did a quick search on Paintball, and found something pretty cool.

    This guy catches 23 whole paintballs (unbroken) from a tippman SL 68 II from 20 meters fired a 200 FPS.

    can't link the article because of how the page is set up, but just search paintball under guiness records it'll ask you to sign up for some crap, but I just put in a bogus name and "[email protected]" for the e-mail addy

          whoopee

          At 65', shot at 200fps, the ball will be going about 125-135fps when he catches them. If he thinks that arrows don't fly faster than that, then he's setting up the Guiness people but good.

          Heck, my 30 year old 60# recurve can still launch shafts into the 250+ range. How many of you back players KNOW you can catch those balls reaching you?

              were they allowed to break when he caught them?

                No, they had to be whole.

                  OK...time for an extremely exxagerated and completely fictitious newbie story from the field. Ready? Here goes!

                  "This one time, at a paintball war, I was sniping in my ghillie suit. I spotted a guy about a half a mile away. He fired at me. I watched the ball coming at me. By the time it reached me, it was going so slow that I caught it inside my barrel. So I just cocked my gun, adjusted my 100X scope, and launched the ball back at him. It hit him right between the eyes. So did the next 70 because I was firing at 40 bps from my fully automatic pump. I'm a SNIPER!"

                  Only remotely related to the topic, but was still fun to write.

                      I like the "I caught it inside my barrel". Anyways, that karate guy sucks.

                        Back in the day(when my reflexes were sharper) I had my mag set up for modified stock play witha 12 gram CO2 and a copper stick that held 10 balls. We played indoors at 250fps, and both myself an a fellow regular would catch the balls and put them in our tubes and shoot them back at the other guy. It was great to hit him with his own ball, and embarrassing to get hit by your own ball. That being said, it CAN and WILL be done again and again.

                          nice story. I was once shot in the foot and when i checked for a break it ended up landing in my shoe ( they were hitop boots and in the gap between my ankle and the side of the boot the ball was whole lol. So i put it in my hopper and shot it back and then the guy bunkered me... good story hu

                            that's dumb. i could do that. i don't know about 23. was that in a row? but i could definitely catch a few even if they were fired at 280+.

                              23 in the period of 2 minutes. I'd 'still say it's pretty hard, considering they can't break.

                              how 'bout an AO contest?
