Training balls.

Saw them at the indoors and in pgi, just wondered if anybody in the uk had them?

WDP will be stocking them, should have them this month.

i had origonally thought these were a bad idea but if the price is right they could be good for tinkering with markers and a bit of snapping in the garden!
anyone got idea of the price?

Matt got to get these bits out to you soon, been busy with a new car these past few weeks.
I don't think they're a good idea for actual site use, but for testing they will be brilliant, the amount of paint i get through testing markers, is ridiculous. To have a re-useable paint source has got to be a good idea.

cool thanks
ment to email you and let you know there is a load of angel connectors (intellifeed links i think) on ebay....dunno if you are interested looks like someone clearing out a bits box or something ill dig the link out later for you, but i think i just searched for paintball and found em

yeah reuseable balls would be great for setting up markers, and i was thinking i could easily rig up a catch net to shoot at.....heheh i can see jud setting one up in his garage already!!!!! we already get plenty of strange looks fiddling with markers while people want new tyres fitted!

I knocked up a rig to shoot into, which feeds the balls directly into the drains. Clear tube over the chrony and then normal plastic pipe to the waste outlet, works well and the balls are never in the air, so safe as well.

Send me a list of the bits you need as i will probably forget something important.

sounds good!

i was thinking a large 2 m square net, loose so, no bounces which has a long panel running off the bottom which is gathered to catch the balls in a box or bucker......the square net would also have sides kinda like an open box

definatly like the idea of a chrono rig tho! might have to set something like that up.........i think ive got a bit of gas pipe somewhere!

I've made a few types, and the main problem is the waste paint, even with a net you will still get breaks. I made a box that directed the paint to a lower section underneath the chrony. It works well but gets real messy inside.

Are these the solid rounds?
The home office told me they'd consider any marker firing them a firearm...... has this been checked out?
