How are paintballs made?

u people are idiots.... i heard that paintballs are made by some pharmaceutical companies like the pill people swallow there made of similar materials

At some point the paintballs would disintegrate in the barrel. Also, they check your muzzle velocity before you can play.

Paintball! I started with woods, now I've moved to speedball. Faster, more adrenaline =)

it comes from oil the polythene granule "like small peas" or polymer is mixed with various linears and additives such as anti satic, anti slip or slip and master batches to give it colour or strength.then the granule is heat as it goes through a screw and is heat in gradual stages from 0-230c ish depends on polymer type.then the molten polymer is pushed thorough a die from the screw and pull up to a set of rollers "nip" then compressed air is blown into the die to blow the bubble out to the size required. the speed of the rollers is increased to get the thickness "gauge" and then it is put through a set of winders and put on a reel.

The principal raw materials for acetylene manufacture are calcium carbonate (limestone) and coal. The calcium carbonate is first converted into calcium oxide and the coal into coke, then the two are reacted with each other to form calcium carbide and carbon monoxide:\n\nCaO + 3C → CaC2 + CO \nCalcium carbide (or calcium acetylide) and water are then reacted by any of several methods to produce acetylene and calcium hydroxide.\n\nCaC2 + 2H2O → Ca(OH)2 + C2H2 \nAcetylene can also be manufactured by the partial combustion of methane with oxygen, or by the cracking of hydrocarbons.

Bowling pins are constructed by gluing blocks of hard rock maple wood into the vague shape, and then turning it on a lathe. After the lathe shapes the pin, it is coated with a plastic material, painted, and finally covered with a glossy finish. Because of the scarcity of suitable wood, efforts to make an all-plastic bowling pin have been undertaken for several years.

Modern pencils are made industrially by mixing finely ground graphite and clay powders, adding water, forming long spaghetti-like strings, and firing them in a kiln. The resulting strings are dipped in oil or molten wax which seeps into the tiny holes of the material, resulting in smoother writing. A juniper or incense-cedar plank with several long parallel grooves is cut to make something called a slat, and the graphite/clay strings are inserted into the grooves. Another grooved plank is glued on top, and the whole thing is then cut into individual pencils, which are then varnished or painted.

It is manufactured by companies such as TM, CA, KSC, etc. They make molds of the outer casings and mass produce the shells of the guns. The internals are basically the same for all so they would not need to make a new mold for the internals of the gun, except for the trigger and misc. parts like a cocking tube and spring. The gearboxes are also made from molds. Currently, there are around 20ish gearboxes out including the TM versions, CA versions, G&G versions, and Systema versions. GBB's all have different molds though, since all GBB's are different internally and externally except for variants of the same pistol (Glock series, 1911 series, USP series, etc.)

Traditionally, basketballs were made using a rubber bladder (like a very sturdy rubber balloon) sealed inside of a sewn leather case. Later, a cloth lining was added between the rubber and the leather to add strength. Today, basketballs are made of flexible plastic shaped by a mechanical mold. The ball is pressurized by pumping air through a small hole on its side. \n\nIt would be quite an undertaking to make a basketball yourself, but you could probably do it the old fashioned way if you really wanted to. You'd need to get some leather and sew the pieces together around a very sturdy inflated plastic ball or balloon. Sewing leather can be kind of tricky, but you can do it with a bit of practice and a tool called an awl.

There are basically two types of electric hoppers. They solve the problem of balls getting stuck before going down the tube in non-motorized hoppers.\n\nThere are agitators and there are force feeders.\n\nAgitators have paddles to rotate and disturb the balls so they have a good chance of feeding from the hopper to the gun. It's a system reliant on gravity to feed the paint. The speed limit on these is 13 balls per second.\n\nForce feeders have paddles designed to shove the balls down the feedneck. This allows the paint to be fed into the gun much faster than gravity can. These are usually the higher end hoppers.  They generally feed about 20 bps but I believe some can go up to 30 bps or more.\n\nBoth types usually have sensors to prevent the paddles from spinning excessively.\n\nThey don't necessarily use paddles. The Halo B uses a drive cone and a hopper by Extreme Rage has some weird funnel kind of thing (I would not suggest that hopper).

It's liquid hydrogen and oxygen.  I imagine they just make it in a factory by cooling down those gases to very low temperatures.

if you are trying to build a model - i would recommend either a playdo type creation or if you wanted to be fancy - use a jello mold.\n\nJello mold you make the mini components first and let them harden.  then put them in place in and outside of your 'membrane' and fill in with a clear jello (knox).  The clear represents your axon and cell membrane with your multicolored preformed pieces acting as your pump, na, and K+\n\nhave fun!

In a non-electronic hopper, the paintballs sometimes bunch up and get stuck and the hopper won't feed paintballs to the gun. An electronic hopper has a small paddle inside the spins and keeps the paintballs from getting stuck, so you have a continuous feed of paintballs to the gun.

The exacting requirements of billiards are met today with balls cast from phenolic resin. \n\nHistorically, balls were often made of clay, and even ivory for a period. \n\nIn the mid-ninteenth century, in an uncommon show of accidental environmentalism, the billiard industry realized that the supply of elephants (their primary source of ivory) was limited. They challenged inventors to come up with an alternative material that could be manufactured. John Wesley Hyatt answered the call by inventing cellulose nitrate in 1870, branded under the name celluloid, the earliest industrial plastic. Subsequently, to fix the problem of cellulose nitrate instability, the industry experimented with various other synthetic materials for billiards balls such as bakelite and other plastic compounds. \n\nEventually phenolic resin became the industry standard and is virtually the only billiard ball material used today

Ive thought of a paint ball gun...and all the accessories with it...
