OG paintball
This just makes me wonder why paintball dueling isn’t a bigger thing
This should be an Olympic sport.
One of the only two times I’ve ever been, we used a cattle field to separate into two teams and everyone had to pull off their hopper, load one at a time, and march toward each other while firing.
Unfortunately we didn’t have anyone calling for firing lines and whatnot, but if I ever go with enough people to do this again, definitely going to be a thing.
This sounds glorious, but I meant 1v1 duels. 10 paces and such
And then if both miss, they go at each other with Nerf swords
Wasn’t that originally part of the Olympics?
I want a double breasted paintball smock
You just wanted an excuse to say “smock”, right?

I’m told servicemembers do fast draw routines with simunitions. apparently the trick is to start firing immediately and the recoil will bring your muzzle up faster

these were soldiers fucking around with wax bullets during training. this was not a combat simulation
How do wax bullets work? Do they not melt from the act of being fired at high speed and heat?
Pour a low charge of black powder in there. You ain’t trying to hit a Confederate or deer at 200-yards. It’ll still be plenty fast and straight at short range.
When stuffing the wax bullet in, precede it with a wad more like a shotgun wad instead of a flimsy piece of cloth? That would keep the charge from directly bathing your wax in hellfire.
SOURCE: Educated guess from a BP and shotgun nerd.
Ah, so the wad takes the heat and gives the wax the force. Which likely keeps the wax cool enough to survive the flight.
Still going to have wax in your barrel rifling. 🤷🏻♂️ May not matter when you next put lead down the pipe. Hot lead will clean it up in any case!
Heat can only be transferred so fast. So no, only the very surface.
