    Popped Paintballs

    Dad and I got paintball guns for Christmas. So far, only one has been shot. Well, I had the biggest amount of paintballs I've had in the other day. About 1/2 way through, one of them popped inside the hopper. What was this caused by? We were thinking maybe overheating?

    I hate it when my balls pop in the hopper. Fortunately that hasn't happened since I was a teenager.

    suggest you mosey on over to a paintball forum. There's probably lots of them. Most people on here probably have never even held a paintball gun (myself included). [img]/forums/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

    Of course, you might get lucky and have Pat jump in and give you an explanation steeped in thermodynamics and ballistics, to boot. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] (just kidding, Pat, always enjoy your insightful comments).

    Ahh, so eager to tweak my beard you got carried away. I'd help carry you away but I didn't see which way you came in!

    Actually I too have never so much as touched a paint ball gun and could only guess as to why one of your balls popped prematurely. Maybe poor quality control at the factory in China that makes them.

    I admit to having inadvertently replied to an OLD post but that is usually what some newby does.
