Paintballs

first off, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I couldn't see anywhere else to list it.


Anyway,

Got a bag of paintballs and when doing the "drop" test they break on the first bounce - not good

so is there anyway to make them a little less brittle in the space of a few days?


Cheers.

what height are you dropping them from?

what paint is it?........ and usually the more brittle the better.

Chris,

that sounds like GOOD paint to me !
just as long as it aint breaking in your hopper or breach, its 'sposed to break, when it hits summat !!

not bounce

well i fired about 100 of them yesterday - got one barrel break.

if theyr breaking from there what're you worried about :/
less chance of a bouncer off someones mask eh
but im not sure you can make them less brittle.. unless you try freeze them.. or just use marbles lol.

thats not bad at all. if your still worried stokey stick a hopper load through your gun as quick as possible if you get another break then warm them up it makes them doughier lol so less breakage thats what i have found anyway lol

There was an article on this somewhere sometime, will try and dig it out.

EDIT: cant find it.

where have you been storing them? you want room temp, and not too close to a rad.

Do they all break on the first bounce?
