I wish I would have rcheched this thread sooner.. I just bought a pack of 250 6mm paintballs from a local overstock store, they are a joke. They dont all break,(except the ones that were already broken in the packege) even at 350 feet per second, point blanc range, into a cinder block wall! So already they would require a revision of the safety rules which limit all guns to 250, I believe. When they break they don't seem to splatter well, only crack. in fact I crushed one in my fingers to see how difficult they are to break, and it had no filling! a few of them seem a bit light, and when fired these empty or half full ones decelerate INSTANTLY, or take some very interesting flight paths. They do seem to break well in a spring fed magazine though, if filled to capacity. But if you sorted the ones that are empty or too deformed to fit the bore, at close range, and increased velocity, could be a viable weapon.
I believe if you order the clear airsoft guns they are shipped as toys and can be sent anywhere, even Aust...I mean New Zealand.
