A paintball gun is basically a mini-liquid-balloon launcher, isn’t it?

As to why, less mess more or less.

      I find MCS’ comment about “for applications where you can’t afford case after case of paint” to be especially hilarious here, given that these are consistently damn near a buck a shot even in their bulk 500 round pack, (80 cents a shot in that case) but you can nab a 5000 round crate of top flight Valken Grafittis for $80.

      Anyway, I use reballs for testing markers or fucking around in my garage since they don’t mark anything unless you put a dent in it, and they can… often… be located again afterwards, washed, and reused.

        As per the description, those waterballs are targeted towards pigs, not paintball hobbyists…

          Sure. But even if I were the pigs, I think I’d find $80/5000 more palatable than $400/500.

          I think most of their simunition crap is .43 or .40 caliber anyway. I’d doubt too many serious operators are doing force-on-force training with hobbyist .68 caliber markers.
