My parents were out for the night and my brother and I both had our markers out, having a pissing contest as usual. We got around to throwing/blowpiping paint (Leftover Frostbite from TNT) at each other and then naturally we thought of barrel baseball. Myself being the more coordinated of the two of us was the batter. After a few misses I finally connected; with somewhat more force then I intended. The paintball broke on impact with the nearest living room wall and splattered onto a couch, multiple pillows and my dad's favourite chair. Needless to say the next 45mins. until the second my parents got home was filled with cleaning paint which is designed not to be able to wipe off off of the contents of our living room.

In summary Barrel Baseball good in theory, fun up until you hit the ball, and best played outside of the living room.

One word for you.... REBALLS!!! Don't mess with paint indoors unless you own everything in the room and don't mind never getting all the paint off of your stuff. My son and I regularly play blow-gun tag with barrels and ReBalls because they don't make a mess. Had a couple of stray balls roll out of gear bags and get stepped on and result in a half hour or so of trying to get all the bits of splatter cleaned up.

Nice one.

I've discovered that indoor reball should not be done at over 200fps - it dents drywall at 295-305.
200 and under bounces around the room nicely still.

Oh and 250fps from 8ft away will still break LCD TVs and monitors - just in case you want to buy a new one.

An ex of mine shot several holes in her bedroom door messing around with reballs after having been explicitly warned not to.

[Fifthplanecomin]

At least it was her door and not yours.

Decent idea, didn't occur to us at the time as we were cleaning everything/rotating what paint we had. So the paint just happened to be handy at the time. We didn't really think what would happen if I actually did hit one.

are those velcro balls legit or are they really crappy. they seem pretty dope for some indoor snap shooting

[ShadoWalker]

by the way,those velcro balls are delrin inside....

WTF?? I figured they'd just wrap a reball or something with relatively little mass to it... DELRIN!?!?

[Tekk]

Blow gun tag. *sigh* Not for everyone...it gets expensive...

[Tekk]

Yea now there are "drink stains" on our couch

And really they are "paintball" stains right? Or are they....nm....
