Grenade fill recipes? Anyone?

Tohri · 11-07-2006, 11:19 PM

Okay, I have an ungodly amount of 1/2" tubing (The kind tippmann uses for their Squadbusters) A bunch of airsoft ammo, pins, collars, And that weird Squadbuster netting (Scoured the local field) And all the filling Equiptment.

But I lack a useful Fill, and it's going to drive me dimwitted.
Does anybody have a recepie they know that Doesn't involve mass paintball genocide? I know the whole starch and water thing, but I need it to be murky and painty and what have you. AND not gum up the stoppers.

Either that, or enlighten me on how They make atomic ordinance 'nades. Please.

either get cheap washable hobby paint and thin it 1 1/2-2 1/2 to 1 (one being the paint) or get chrono bucket paint and strain it through old panty hose

Indeed, thinned washable tempera should work, but it may stain.

Not that it matters, if you're not trying to keep your new DYE jersey clean.

Otherwise, yes--last month's chrono paint, clearance from Sports Authority, damaged bags from your case... toss it in some mesh and mash it up.

Get the crayola washable paint from wal-mart, mix it with 1/2 cup of vegitable oil and 1/2 cup of water per 2 cups of paint. Won't stain and marks well.

Exactly what badkarma said. Works perfect and better than any other solution I have used.

What are you using to fill them?

Cahuna has a deal with Blue at EMR.

Whenever Blue catches someone wiping or using off field paint, they are shipped down to the Soylent Green Biscuit Company in West Virginia. There they have their bodily fluids removed and processed, mixed with some root beer or raspberry perfume and then bottled and sent to the Atomic Ordnance factory.

Out of work AO elves working for Atomic Ordnance then fill the surgical tubing.

Simple.

Rath, That was more than I wanted to know. (Now where the hell am I gonna find Wipers? Hmm... Maybe that PSP event will yeold some...)

As far as what I'm filling with... Basically it's a silo made of PVC with a QD compressor nipple up top, a brass pipe nipple, 1/4" ball valve, and a hose barb on the bottom. Just need a locking collar to avoid spills, and it works Fast and well.

Do not use crayola, in my testing it always stains. the cheaper generic paint works better and you only need to cur it with water. Mixing vegetable oil with water based product is bad for consistency. Oil amd water do not mix. If anything use baby shampoo
