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 marker 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.

        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.
