A good Idea

[defyitall]

that's a good idea. maybe we can patent it. too bad you're on the other side of the pond.

Cheers Rabies - learnt something new!

And about paint stirring too!

ahh physics

The one reason this works with a bullet is because it is relatively heavy, paint isn't it is nice and light and a bullet is fairly consistent in its mass and density all the way through, a paint ball isn't, a bullet expands when fired (to my knowledge a paintball ball deforms but doesn't expand) and gelatin gripping groves in metal? I think it would be a quick way to create dulux.

So would a VL Rev, modified to shake like a baby's rattle then loosen the paint within the balls enough to affect the spin of the ball exiting the barrel??

 

[QuackingPlums]

Haha... if u could make your loader pre-spin your balls BEFORE they get fired, (fast and long enough to get the contents swirling) then would the spinning paint cause a stabilising gyroscope effect within the shell?

It'd probably have to be a mechanism within the breech, thinking about it...

Steady on, almost sounds like you know what you're talking about!!

 

[QuackingPlums]

Hee... does that mean I got it right?

 

[Rabies]

I'm not sure you could do with with a revvy... but a Warp Feed... there's a whole new possibility

 

[Morter]

have dimpled paintball's been tried i.e like golf balls?

 

[MrPink]

Only when you're paint's been REALLY badly stored!
But seriously, I believe it has been tried but the cost per ball was extremely prohibitive.
