Im guessing that its not allowed, since as its name suggests it is paintball, but thats just a guess.Google search it
Im guessing they less effective than paintballs, due to their shape and size:weight ratio, but once again, thats just opinion :wink:
really good quote/phrase here

try getting a pool noode, cutting off a 1 foot section, sealing one end, placing a metal marble in it, then melting the tip in a nice round fasion.

YAY GIANT NERF DART (however it looks different.... just dont carry 10 of them to school......)

they fit nice in tennis ball barrels, or you can slip the noddle around a peice of 1/2 inch copper, this actually works much better. im working on a cartridge-fed shoulder-fired bazooka thing for firing these. ill post them in the how-to section eventually, when i make a new tip mould.

Spud yeti, he is talking about LAW ammo for use in tank killers. They are used in scenario games.
