It dawned on me. The whole thing why this doesnt work.

You cant spin a paintball because their filled with liquid.

Ok, what would the effect of adding a baffle or two have on this? if you put a layer of gelatin between the two haves of the ball would it take a spin better? how might this affect a first strike like round?

Just think! If one half of the ball was filled with one fluid, and the other with another fluid that would react with the first...

"Guided Optimum Longer Flight"? What the hell is that, a madlib?



Anyway, they TOTALLY thought of it first, what with there not being an AO thread by Tom Kaye dating back to 2002.

In all fairness, there is a difference between thinking of a product and actually getting something that "works" to production.

RAP-4 has a history of "inventing" ideas which have already been thought of or even marketed before so believing that they have something truely original is a stretch.

They also qualify that these are training rounds which implies they aren't expecting Joe Paintballer to buy a case of these and start shootin' up the speedball field with them. I'm curious what these things will do out of a Flatline m'self.
