According to the Hydrotec website, the shells are corn based. There's no reason why they shouldn't break down after being exposed to the elements for a long time.

Unfortunately no tested the First Strike rounds to see if they break down in soil as claimed. Some guy left them in the sun and rain for a year with zero effect. These Hydrotec rounds are supposed to break down in the same way. Hopefully someone tests this out.

I actually don't doubt they break down in soil since you can see similar plastic demonstrations on Youtube. Unfortunately there's never a time and/or condition indication. My guess is that it requires hot moist soil and a relatively long (months) time before it even starts to get soft. Dry sandy soil doesn't have much living in it.

What if it takes four years before getting soft in warmer climates and twelve in colder climates? Is that acceptable?

Shot some today but forgot my camera.

Got 2 out of 10 shots on target the rest just did some serious erratic whizzing after 50 feet. Saved some for a actual video. I work all weekend so I will get it done.

I still say they need to put flavorings in them, i still want a good tasting paintball

Even if they're not the best at the moment i do hope they get the chance to keep improving. At a time when all manufacturers care about is selling a new gun, it would be nice for more technology to go into the paint we shoot.

Great vids, hope that since this was a beta test using beta paint, they will sort out the air pocket issue and thus increasing the fill and weight of the ball. This has so much potential.

I don't understand Hydrotech's approach. Develop and confirm that you have a good product and once you are sure of your offering, bring it to market.

Beta testing in a manner that will expose to the public to less than stellar results can only hurt in the long run.
