After seeing a video clip of a US documentary into how paintballs are actually made, wondered if there were any UK based companies manufacturing paintballs, or do we just import our paint in?

I've noticed that the RP Scherer sign has dissapeared, but i think someone said they had moved further into town. I think it's swindon.

RPS paint division is only about two percent of the company the rest make drugs and all sorts of other things and as for the paint made in the UK- Not at this time but we live in hope

All you need is an encapsulating machine ;)

I think the Body Shop factory in Worthing might have one (they make soapy balls that go in your bath). Maybe if we ask that nice Mrs. Roddick if she let us borrow it......................:D :D

Does anyone remember Forest Paintballs, they were all white, and yes you guessed it, a white fill. I got the impression they were British.
