Primer may blow a hole in the paint ball.

I think he's considering using an air compressor...

wow - looking forward to the vid!

ran into a small problem, all my brass is loaded right now, I need to stop being OCD about reloading brass as soon as I get home from the range.

My plan is to use a small wax layer between the primer and the paintball :-)

How about a cut up shotgun shell wad?

chances are the rifling in your pistol will cut the hell out of the PB
might have to clean the hell out of the gun but it would be very cool if you could figure out a PB round thats strong enough to cycle the gun heheheheh that would be cool

Step 1, need primed case, parafin wax, .40 cal paintball.

Insert casing about 3/8 inch into wax to create a buffer between paintball and primer.

Use something to press the wax down into the case a little so the paintball has some room.

Insert paintball.

Give it a little crimp.

And shoot it.
