A paintball grenade is simple to make and very effective. It needs to be thrown overhand at something firm in order to have a massive explosion with a spray radius of 5 to 6 feet. Follow these steps to learn how to make a paintball grenade.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 foot of 1/8-inch rubber tubing
• Plastic clip tie
• Large syringe
• Children's paint (non-toxic)
• Hemostats
• Ball bearings
• Cotter pins
• Rubbing alcohol
• Rubber bands

1. Pour the paint in a syringe. You can use children's paint such as poster or finger-paint. If you don't have any available you can melt some paintballs.

2. Cinch the tubing in the center tightly and seal with the clip tie. Inject the paint mixture into one side of the tubing. Fill it until it is 2 inches from the top.

3. Use the hemostats to crimp off the tubing. It should now resemble a sausage. Remove the syringe.

4. Moisten the ball bearings with the rubbing alcohol and put it into the tube just above the hemostats. Stick a cotter pin above the ball bearing into the tubing. Let the alcohol dry before removing the hemostats.

5. Repeat the process with the other side. Place a thin rubber band around the paintball grenade to maximize the spray coverage when it is thrown.

6. Pull the cotter pin and throw the paintball grenade overhand at a firm object.
