NiMH?! Is that the cat's name?! :-)

OH...let me tell you about "paintball paint in the mouth"! If you have a paintball gun, Walmart stocks something called "Zap". It's truly the most disgusting stuff if you get it in your mouth, and it smells like cheap oil paint if you get it on your clothes! I've been shot in the face mask probably three times in the last 6 months, and only once was with "Zap"....but it was NASTY! ...and it LEFT a bad taste in my mouth for a long time!

I'm told that it's like this because it's a "tournament grade" ball....whatever that means. I'm still relatively new to the sport. Also, it's not supposed to be a particularly high quality paintball. Also, somebody told me it was so thick and nasty because it made it virtually impossible to wipe off of clothing in games like capture the flag where a player has to prove that he/she wasn't hit during a flag capture.

Ah well....Here's the gun I was telling you about. It doesn't have the large hopper on it here, but I reinstalled it because I got TIRED of getting all shot up by teenagers carrying 200 rounds in their hoppers. I'm 41 and they were getting a major kick out of shooting the "old guy". :-)

Yup, the cat is named 'NiMH' mainly because if we let him 'recharge' for a few minutes he'll want to go back out and decimate the local vole population.


That's a pretty impressive paintball gun.
"Zap", heard that stuff was gross.
Thanks for the confirmation on it.
*YUG!*
