    Turkeys like 'em also. Got a flock of about twenty at my field that will go thru and clear them out. Took us a while to figure out what they were doing.
    WOW, sigs. Havent seen these in a while here on AO.

      Paintballs; the pet treat for everyone!

      My dogs will eat them too. It's funny to watch.

        ASPCA says paintballs bad for dogs.

        More evidence that paintballs are bad for dogs. "In one case, a 10 month-old, 45-pound Boxer died after eating more than 350 paintballs. "

          They took the bad stuff out of Antifreeze a long time ago. We have a bear at out field that eats paintballs. We leave little piles of them all over the place, a few days later, they are gone.

            here is a guy eating 5 paintballs ...






            ROFLMAO...


            I was talking with a buddy of mine at a bar, and had a couple paintballs in my pocket which i had picked up that had been rolling around in my car. Another buddy walks up and says "Cool Gumballs" and grabs one and pops it in his mouth.

            An if you are wondering, No, tequila won't wash the taste of it out of you mouth...

              When I was in Submarine school i would take a few balls with me to class when I was on mids and pass them out. I would squeze them into my Coke on a dare. I turned out just fine.

                Thanx for posting those links Pickle it was fairly early for me and I couldn't manage to find something like that . Let alone remember that it was Polyethylene glycol . I did however manage to remember that they were toxic to dogs, and is part of the base ingrediant that makes up some antifreezes . This is why when you get antifreeze on you hands they feel all slimey . Sorry for any confusion chaos, next time maby I'll post some sort of witty reply instead of actual concern for a fello ballers pet .

                    No, that "bad stuff" is still in anti-freeze its just not used in paintballs.

                      There are brands of antifreeze that lack "the bad stuff." not aevery kind. I think Peak has that chemical removed but Prestone doesn't.

                        i recall a pic in APG about 5ish years ago of a paintball eating contest, it had a buncha people staning in a line with vl200's above their heads with a peice of hose hanging off of them.


                        looked interesting.

                          maglover - Very true but for the most part companies sell the normal stuff.

                          skife - Yeah ive seen stuff like that in person. I believe the one your refering to had like 2 guys next to each other eating purple paintballs from a vl200 with clear tuping attached to them.

                                Paintballs won't hurt a dog...keep an eye on your carpet though, as they don't seem to agree very well with the canine digestive tract.
