Yeah, not only slow, but the amount of time to reload something like that?

would be a lot cooler if the paintballs actually broke

That was pretty lame. That thing must be incredibly weak – at the end I think I even saw some paintballs bouncing off of the brick wall.
Quint
Um, wouldn’t that thing require re-loading between shots. (which is something I never saw them do)
Josh
So it’s no different than any bad action movie or cheesy TV show, where they seem to fire hundreds of rounds from the same magazine, not only not showing them reloading, but with no lull in fire either.
Quint
Good point.

i was hoping this would be one of those “lost art” videos… now i’m bummed out. gonna go sabot some paintballs into 12ga shells. once again, holdin’ mike and ENDO harmless.
Quint
Paintball Sabot. Does that work? Has anyone tried that before? (or were you just joking)
ozwald
well a paintball is .68, and i haven’t measured the interior of the shell diameter but i have some parafin… this probably won’t end well which means i should probably make a video…
Quint
I’m afraid that the, high powered, sudden shock from detonation of the powder in the shell will rupture the paintball/s. Also, they make a few different size paintballs. http://68caliber.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/paintball-calibers.gif
(not listed but there are also 6mm paintballs meant to destroy the internals of airsoft guns)

Small charge + Expanded polystyrene sabot

i have a couple grenade launching blanks, halving that charge should give me some reduced velocity, i’ll do the math when i’m sober.
That thing must shooting those paintballs awfully slow. Hardly any of them ever break when they make contact!

I haven’t read Doc’s stuff for years – hard to believe he’s still around…
…I miss paintball now…
He used to comment on this blog quite a bit!
If you amp up the power it would be a nice paintball mortar.
