I read about them in action pursuit games magazine. Some dude had the idea so they could play in their school gym during the winter.

I guess it was when you said it was a school gym but like the school is going to buy paintball guns for the school dumb I mean it's cool that they would want a school to learn how to play paintball but weird

[nawtydog]

The school didnt really have anything to do with it. The guy just rented the gym and everybody brought there own guns. They say they dont hurt any more than a paintball so when you got hit, youd just be honest and call yourself out.

I go to Center Flag's Reball facility in Plainfield every weekend, actually the reballs dont hurt to bad. The only downside, is that the fields are so small. It does end up hurting when all your doing is playing games, you're gonna end up bieng bunkered about 10 times. That is why reballs are meant for drills, They do not hurt more than paintballs but the whole point is to save money and not waste ""Paint"". Think about it, "where do i waste the most paint?" In a game... No, most of your paint gets dumped while you're running drills. So while you cant run drills when youre playing "PAINTBALL" because of the money, Rent Reball for a couple hours and run your drills there. Its a GREAT place for team building, 20$ a day for all the drills and games you can do in 2 Hours.

thats funny i was just at my shop an hour ago and they were gunna give me a dollar for every shot they shot me with at 300fps, they were plannign on doing 100 shots at me with a octane shocker, the manager for the night said no though because im a customer, to bad he didnt kno i was gunna use that 100$ for a new bottomline and drop, then some paintballs, but the reballs as there called are rubber

[spyder33649]

no you dont need to spend 40 bucks for a case of paint...you meed to spend something like 650 dollars for a case (2000 rounds) of reballs

if you want to practice buy whitebox...like 25 bucks a case, between washing them and pcking them up its well worth it

also if you chop/pinch the reball i think it would get messed up no matter what the ads say.... also blowback guns would jam in the case of a pinch (what normall would be a chop)

i really dont think reballs are for everybody

[msujdak]

But has anyone got jacked by these things I mean would they make me say "holy knights of columbus that hurt" if i got shot 10 times running into the snake?

[AJFpaintball13]

i don't like the idea of having to crawl around on the ground to pick them up either. it would kinda suck to have to spend more time picking up than playing.

[Bear_Chat]

Their good for teams that don't have much money, there are the downs of using them (having to get down and crawl around the field) but they have their need. :P

Reballs are fun to play, but if you ref at a reball feild, its a ###### sweeping and vacuuming them. Especially when all the kids with Ions just come out on the feild and just practice walking. It is an easier way to play and gets easier to sweep when you get used to it.

[EmpireLover]

I heard reballs can screw up the eyes on DMs, Timmys, Angels, pretty much any gun with eyes. Is this true?

[spyder33649]

dude its a ##### sweeping and vacuuming paint anyways. i think reball woudl be great that way i dont have to clean the bunkers every 10 minutes.

and as for the whitebox crap. man i am not going to put that crap thru my gun. its so brittle. ill tell you what though. our field paint is blaze and the stuff that is laying by the back net is almost always wainting to be picekd up. to day i got 9 pods worth in between games.

[EmpireLover]

So it will screw the eyes on my gun if I use it?

[thevoiceinurhd]

NO, alot of people shoot guns with eyes and nothing is wrong with them. i shot a friends EVO and it did just fine, I don't see how reballs would affect eyes anyways.
