        I remember playing with just the molded safety glasses! That's what the field had as rentals!

        And I remember the sniperballs. Never actually saw one, just read about them.

        Ah, the good ole days. I remember when....

            $1/ball!

            When/where I started, in 1991 at the fringes of the civilised world, in was $3/10.

              I remember $1.50/10 in 1989 in our area. $10.00/10. Ouch. Pick your shots carefully.
              Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                Miami ... guess we were getting screwed because of the car we'd drive up in? No idea... I know that's what my big brother and I would have to pay... also this wasn't a field it was a jungle in the everglades and guys would go there to play because ... well it's the jungle no one's going to say anything to you.

                  i remember the sniper balls, but i also seem to remember there being just fins as well. you could take a regular paintball and kind of suctioncup the fin to the back of it, muzzle load it and you were set.
                  i also remember the days of $3 for 10 balls. i also remember one day we were playing and my shop goggles were crap and i asked the field owner if i could just wear my rec-specs(those sports glasses that you would see NBA players wear wit hthe elastic strap in the back, ment to be worn for sports) he said sure, so i ran around all day with just my rec-specs on, they didnt even cover the sides of my eyes....oh the good ole days!!!!

                    Fun Gunz INC is the comany that applied for the patent on the sniper balls. http://www.haveblue.org/tech/patents/US006609511.pdf


                    Check out haveblue.org under the patent link. There are a few different variations of them.

                    But I guess that still doesn't help you find any.
