Lol, I was saying the JA thing because of the incident a couple weeks ago when I called you that, remember? :D
It's not that complex, it'll just be harder to get it made correctly and have it work.

I said might. Gosh. People these days... *incoherent muttering* Moving on. Yes I would have asked. Chances are I won't do it though, the paintball place I'm going to wouldn't approve. (Insert sad face here)

Why didn't you?

And why wouldn't they let you bring in a couple of paint grenades? Sounds kind of strange.

Well, as an answer to the first question, because that's how I roll. Sarcasm flows from my tongue like an ever-flowing fountain of stuff. As for the second question, I say that's a good question. One to which I don't have an answer.

Five bucks says its ether:

One, to much a liability to let people throw chunks of PVC pipe filled with paint in random directions, to much a liability to let people shoot rubber paint grenades, NERF balls, or hundreds of paintballs at hundreds of feet per second at people, and to much a liability to let people use land mines the shoot paint straight up, there are certain areas that people would sue if got hit by high velocity paint...

Or two, there just mean!

And after think over the two options I’m guessing it probably option number two…

i just figured id post on this, when you post your ideas on a public forum like this, people dont have to ask to make something based on your design. the people here obviously wont claim that they designed what they made, so it doesn't really matter if they build their own grenade and it is not stealing
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

I personally think it'd be sweet to have a tater gun in the bunkers with cylinders of paint. Like artillery.

You know, I’d go up against a paintball team that had a spud gun, even with out one of my own. There’s a little thing a lot of paintballers lack, it’s called “skill”.

Yup. Skill is necessary in anything. I'm not saying I'd rely on that or anything. It'd just be a fun toy to have in the arsenal.

Yeah, it's kind of hard not to hate the little 12 year olds that hav $400 guns that their parents buy them. Then they just get out after a couple minutes and it's pointless. If I could pick my own paintball team, know how good my opponents are, and know how good the cannon is (as in reloading time, type of ammo, etc.), I would go up against it. I just wouldn't want to face an insane team of championship league paintballers with a pump action, CO2 powered cannon that shoots 200 psintballs with each shot, especially with a team full of noobs.

See that's what pisses me off too. Kids with guns they never even get to use cause they suck. Even though they talk all their smack. I don't care if you've got a 400 dollar gun. If you suck I'll still own you with my TL-R.

i grew up with a 100 dollar spyder i paid for, the day i bought it, this kid came in with his dad and bought a 1000dollar custom made paintball gun. He used to talk smack until i shot him square in the mask at a small tournament, all because the dumbass then reload. Theres really no better feeling then kicking the ass of a smack talking fool who has the best things money can buy.
