That is sweet man. Could I import some for the aussie market?

Solar · Sat May 19, 2007 2:47 am

Twitch: I don't think you guys have laws against nerfs do you? Email them and find out.

TwitchTheAussie · Sat May 19, 2007 2:52 am

No we dont
I had several nurfs before.
How much would it cost to get a few imported?

Wat, so that is essentially a rocket with a paintball in it? Nifty! But how is the paintball delivered on impact?

I'm just guessing but it probably has a paintball protruding from the rocket making a bursting and marking tip.

Yes, Orpackrat is right. I have a picture of one on my site http://www.eclipselauncher.com along with the prototype pictures of the launcher that shows one with the paintball inserted. I'll tell the owner to show some pics with the payload.

Twitch: You should email the guy over at http://www.paintballwarhead.com and give him your address and how many you would want. I know he is turning on his e-commerce soon, but I am sure you guys could figure something out. Let him know how many you want and he can check on shipping. They come in 3ft. poster tubes so the shipping shouldn't be that bad.

Finally,I've been waiting for these to come out.Last game I about ripped up my stupid nerfs for missing.

Looks like these are intended for 1.5" SCH 40 (1.59" ID) barrels... I thought that most anti-tank guns and such used 2" SCH 40 barrels? I might be interested in buying a few (depending on the price) just to be able to mess around with them at home; I have never been paintballing before.

these things are awesome.. could be some great damage rounds if u dont play paintball..u could put a ball bearing or lead ball in the front...

VH_man · Sat May 19, 2007 1:54 pm

how accurate are nerf's? and do they hurt if you get hit with them at 250 FPS?

spudthug · Sat May 19, 2007 2:21 pm

probabaly lol....if u get hit with one that is thrown at u hard it hurts to..and thats alot less than 250 fps..

Thanks Solar you truly are a hero

Vh_Man and spudthug,they don't hurt that bad when you get hit,same as a paintball maybe a little less.I'd have to see how the new rocket rounds feel they may hurt a lot more with a paintball up front.Now all to do is get some money to pay the shipping.Don't being broke stink.
