6mm paintballs
 
Hey guys, I was wondering if 6mm paintball BB's would work for a KJ Sig Sauer P266?

Are these paintballs reliable? Or do you guys think they will explode inside the gun?

Thanks!

They have a tendency to explode inside the gun, so they're considered very unreliable and generally avoided.

I see, if one were to explode inside, do you think it would ruin the gun? Or just disassemble and clean it?

Also, what would be the best to use to clean it?

Thanks

You seem intent on using them, so does our answer matter?

Also you should be considerate about hitting peoples expensive camo.

Muriatic acid and steel wool will clean it out fine.

I can tell you right now, if I spent $500+ on a loudout I'd be damn right pissed off if I was hit with a paintball. If you are intent on using them, you should ask everyone at the game if they have a problem with you using them.

wear your favourite outfit. Shoot yourself with about 20 of these paintballs. Now think...did you enjoy that? Would other people enjoy it just as much as you did?

But seriously I've used a sample pack of these in the states. They suck ass when your gun double feeds. I tired it with an LEPG

lol i dont want to use them in competition, just for fun, i woudnt use them on people

yanhchan May 11th, 2007 16:58

whats wrong with regular BBs?

tetra May 11th, 2007 16:59

nothing, i just wanted to try them, but i guess it seems like a bad idea lol

and for the uniforms, its washable, just as dirty as when you dive into the grass ;P

lol... IF you spent 500+ on a loadout.

Hmm...

doing some quick mental math.
TV cost upwards of almost 300+
Body armour another 150
Holsters (yes plural) 200ish
various items (Hydration bladder, glowsticks, malice clips,etc) 200ish
clothing (Real not fake) 120-500...soo say 300
Boots 120+
total 1250ish
some people will have lower costs and some will have greater.

You hit me with a Paintball, yes I WILL be annoyed to say the least.

hey some people can get away with less than 500 and still not want paint on their gear.

Army Issue carries some entry level stuff:

Parklands BDUs: 80ish
TV BHI Style: 90ish
Pistol belt: 20ish
Dropleg holster: 50ish
Surplus boots: $40-$60
Boonie $20ish
Outfitted ASer for about 350ish

So far I think I've only spent about $250 on gear, still in the process of building it up, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to get paint all over it.
