That was posted months back...

I wouldnt say they hurt less, just when chronoed correctly they are about the same. They clearly havn't got their marker set to an apropiate velocity.

Yeah, a case of not reading the instructions. IReballs as 220fps hurt the same as real paintballs, at 300fps though the hurt like a mofo and realy make you jump around.

so is there really any point to reballs then, apart from the re-use side of em, they cost a stupid amount to buy, sumit like 86 quid for 500!

ReBalls are awesome, chronoed around 250 ish they have a very simular trajectory and don't really hurt much different (unless you are twats and light each other up at close range)

Use reballs 10 times over and they have paid for themselves and then some. I'll be honest, not THAT feasable for individuals but perfect for indoor training. Pro team Joy Division can equate a great deal of their success to almost daily training indoors at their own ReBall facility at an almost non existant cost.

I recomend you pop to Fireball the paintball gym near Leeds that uses ReBalls. A flat fee of 20 quid (i think) and train and shoot as much as you want.

yes, there great, ive got about a hopper full, which equates to about £25 i think, perfect for snapping and probably running and gunning (which i dont have the space for:( )

ive easily made my money back (shot more through my gun than it would cost to but that much paint)

Edit, those are some pretty special welts :eek:
