And are they legal to fire in the UK? has anyone bothered to check? check out the "solid balls in the UK" thread in speak your brains.......we 've been discussing it for a while.
ReBall, anyone used it yet.

Depends on their mass, thus whether they break the 12ft/lbs limit. If they are the same weight as a paintball, and they don't generally break the skin upon impact, then no problem.
EDIT: having now read the thread on SYB, I ought to qualify that statement. No problems legally that I can see, until someone chooses to change the law. Whether they are a good idea for many other reasons... you'll just have to go and read the thread yourself

The Re-Ball have not been launched yet. They have been using and testing the sample batch but production had a small delay. I believe they will be here soon. Don't ask how long as i don't know !

I have read a few small article and I was under the impression that RE-Ball was releasing too different type "Retail" and "Target", Retail was said to be exactly like a o.69 paintball with the same size and weights, which would mean there firing and impact would be identical, and "Target" has the name suggest is ONLY for target practice. Any rubber ball in my mind they should only be used on drills where you’re testing your snap shooting and sweet spots.

This is taken from the afore mentioned thread about solid balls. Sp perfectly legal to sell or own as soon as you use them then you could get the attention of the boys in blue. Same situation as we have had in the past with DOT bottles getting sold in the UK...legal to do but try and use the same...nope not allowed..and the same thing I have said about this practise is the same I will say now...For a shop to do this, it is sharp practise...if you are unaware of what that means in plainer english it means. Don't give your money to stores who sell things like these as they know you legally can't use the product and they are fully protected by sales laws so don't come back complaining to uthem.
If Stores who stock products like this (in terms of local laws) made the effort to inform or block the sales to UK residents then the complaints wouldn't have to be made.
Ledz, I know this might be taken as a dig at you but you haven't said you have stocks, you have inferred that you might but you aren't offering them for sale so don't take the above personally. The main culprits for the DOT bottles sales scam isn't you nor have I ever thought it was you.
Considering most playing surfaces in the uk are grass, mud, woodchip, sawdust or sand... who the hell is gonna go pick them all up and clean them off b 4 you put them back in your loader?? I spose that would be a job for the pot biatch... would that make them a ball biatch? or what? suggestions please...!
I can understand that your RE-balls would get dirty. IF i did get them i would use them on short (50 meters) field of grass where i will test my running and shooting skills and maybe snap shooting, and after finish i though i could pick them up and throw them in a washing machines and then leave them to dry.

But looking at this thread i must agree with the majority of people and say no to them because of the legal system In the UK atm with No Guns.
