How to Build Custom Paintballs
Paintball guns come in a variety of types but the paintballs they shoot come in standardized models that everyone uses. You can make your own custom paintball that will leave no doubt as to who fired it. You will need some household supplies as well as from a grocery store. No special skills are needed to make your paintball, other than to match the size of the paintball with the paintball gun that you will be firing it out of.
