Its cheaper....but i don't know if there's any cheaper..what brand u using for your paintballs? I need a small amount only. somewhere about 200 rounds.

I dont know the make of mine because my step cousin supplies me with "noname" paintballs from the factory, because he's sponsored

I'll ask him what he uses in tournament etc though

nay, I heard training PBs are heck lot cheaper..

spud yeti · Fri Aug 10, 2007 10:06 am

Yeah, they are. They about 1/2 if not 1/3 of the price of tournament balls!

I found cheaper paintballs..these are SupaSplat 0.50 cal paintballs in a 320 round pack

. what mm barrell will they fit in?

.50 cal? Usually paintballs are .68 as far as I know, so they probably cheap ones for "play guns". I'm not sure if you should rather just spend the extra few bucks and buy better quality, ey.

I think that .50 cal paintballs will work in a 13 mm barrel, but I'm not sure.

OK..just realised. the 0.50cal paintballs were for playguns. I wanna get 500 rounds of RP Scherer Stingers Paintballs.They'll cost me about 35 SGD with shipping..idk if its training paintballs I cant find any on xtremepaintball.

btw how do u calc what mm barrell to use from the ammo caliber?

you can use any ruler with inch and and a little fraction decimal calculation, the .30, .22, .50 caliber system is the diameter of the projectile in decimal form .50

examples: .50cal=12.5mm=1/2in
.22cal=5.56mm= almost 1/4

so .68 cal will be? and about C:B ratio while we're at it...i read somewhere that pneumatic can have up to a infinitive chamber volume..is this true?

you'll have to calculate that yourself if I had my ti-83 calculator with the unit converter program I'd do it but I don't so it a real task, I'm here to share my knowledge not to doo stuff for you

i read somewhere that pneumatic can have up to a infinitive chamber volume..is this true?

theoretically but there's only so much pvc in the world and it's only so big before its considered ridiculous

.68 is 12.272mm. Bit off-topic, does anyone know if anyone makes glow-in-the-dark paintballs? I mean glow-in-the-dark paint and everything, not just the shell.

cant you use a hypodermic needle to fill paintballs with whatever you choose? or am i wrong. i saw it in a movie where they filled them with liquid nitrogen and shot them at time traveling people to bring them back to where they started.

Could you? Yes. Am I really going to drain and refill hundreds of paintballs? Heck no. I want premade, I'm a DIY kinda guy, but that's a little extreme.

i would fill some pb's with india ink or something and have some fun making things black..........

or various other uses, such as pelting a wasps nest with 50 paintballs filled with wasp poison.

i see uses for it. and it shouldnt take that long. just poke, suck, spit, poke, spit, remove. do that 2000+ times. just watch TV while you do it.

but then, i am the guy who made over 2000 homemade nerf darts in one day.....
