    Another reason not to use "spank" paint.

    Well, I opened a 500 bag of "spank" paint the other day (being short on money and wanting to shoot a tree out of boredome) and out of boredome I decided to first count the paint. from the bag to a large bow, carelfully moved the paint while counting it. 497. where was my 3 paint? recount. 497. wtf? are companys so desperate to make monoey that they short people on paint.
    If I see one more "What happened to smart parts" thread, I will kill Adam Gardner. You have been warned.

      Haha... I always wondered if they actually count the balls at the factory or just estimate based on weight or something.

          I doubt they hand count it, they probably just have a machine that dumps 500 into a bag and most times it is off by 2 or 3. Its no big deal man, you probably would have dropped three filling your hopper or pods.

                  They measure in weight. Suck it up.

                                  Hey, don't hate the spank! That stuff is great for what it costs, and I find myself shooting it more and more at practices. I happen to like shooting balls of glue at people
