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

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.

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.

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. :(
