tourney paint tends to be real thick, and rec paint tends to be real thin.... i just had a thought that tourney paint would be harder to shoot a barrel clean with. and here comes the idea, why not make/market a paint that is easier to shoot a barrel clean with?

As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won't be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide
sometimes I just freaking hate people. which means the next day I will love them for the sake of balance, but right now I will just concentrate on the hating. Hate hate hate. Blaaaarg! ;)

Because they want the paint to gop up on the player so he can't wipe it.

hmmm, instead of having the fill thick and designed to have some non staining goop sit on top of the surface of clothing. what about something kinda like dissapearing ink that would react with oxygen and dissapear in 15 min. this would have to absorb into clothing so it couldn't be wiped and would be able to be removed in the wash if it were to work.As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones.

you want this sport to be called ink ball?Comment

actually it would probably be a good idea.
it wouildnt stain because it would disappear but what if it was toxic.......Tough Times Wont Last Forever...

I think a good idea to prevent wiping should be to prssureize the paintballs with paint, like at a low PSI... and gob goeey thick paint in them.. so when they hit they explode with more force and leave larger marks.-Vegeta

That sounds like a very good idea. It might make paint pretty expensive, though.I have no idea what to put in my sig.Comment
-
might be expensive and not too many people would want that sticky thick nasty paint...
i personally prefer thin water like paint

Pressureinzing hte inside of the ball with a little air would not make the paint that much more expensive. When Pb's are made, paint is inserted with a needle between the two halves of the PB. All the manufactuer would have to do is after the paint is injected, a little air injected too. Thats all.
This would not work good with thin viscosity paint because when hte shell is broken the materials would explode into a blast of vapor, and not cover the player well. If the paint was thicker, it would exploded is thicker globs and coat the player. At least I think.-Vegeta

I like thick heavy paint. IMHO it tends to fly straighter and is more consistent over the chrono most likely due to the quality.
Liquidy paint tends to perform crappily.Did you hear about the new european weapons contracts? France is going to make the wooden sticks Spain making the little white flags

You wouldn't want to leave a big air bubble inside a paintball. That would create a non-uniform density inside the paintball, which would cause some mighty weird wobble if there were any spin at all placed on the paintball.
Unless you want to create a _staining_ fill for a paintball, you're not going to get much, if any, advantage over current fills. And even then wipers would just wear black jerseys and be no worse off. Gun/hopper/tank hits would be just as easy to wipe, as well. The best defense against wipers is still good, honest, vigilant refs...
...who carry around large knobby sticks to beat wipers with.

dont forget that the shells of paintball let water in and out(we've all seen huge water soaked paintballs), so whats to stop this small amount of compressed air from going out?Comment

thicker paint is definately a good idea, something to keep. If there is thicker paint, it means that the paintball(with paint in it) weighs more; therefore, increasing momentum. And if that is increased then the PB will travel farther...Comment

Increase viscosity or thickness doesn't necessarily mean denser or weighs more.Comment

or even worse, GOTCHA- the sport.Originally posted by ICOM
