    TECH TIP#3 question for Tom

    Tom, you stated that you made a bullet shaped paintball that used spin stabalization. Was the bullet liquid filled or just a plastic test bullet? How did you impart spin to that bullet, was it also done by spinning the barrel?
    I was thinking of conducting the very same spinning barrel test but you seemed to have saved me the trouble.

    When the plastic ball used in the barrel with the knife edeges was tested, you didn't say if there was evidence of the ball rotating in the barrel or not. I assume the edges were straight and not spiraled.

    Thanks for your time,
    Steve Marshall.

    the bullet shape uses angled fins to get it spining and it does carry liquid. Knife edges were straight down the barrel.
