Well, when a mommy shell and a daddy shell really love each other..



Paintballs are made with the same type of machine as liquid gelcaps (vitamins, advil, stuff like that) In fact, R.P. Shearer makes most of the gelcaplets used in medicines.

I'm not sure on the exact process, but I know it involves A pressing machine and a paint dropper thingy (mad technical terms )

Hope that helps, if not, I wish I could have helped more!
