I have been thinking about the whole tennis ball thing today. I am not sure that it is such a bad idea. I have been hit with a few at times trying to play tennis it didnt really hurt. i think that i might would rather be hit with a tennis ball at 10 feet than a paintball at 10 feet if there is a way to regualte the amount of air that is pushing that tennis ball out of that pipe....also in thinking about this today i dont know that you can propel a tennis ball as far as a nerf rocket because it is a little heavier and also not as aerodynamic...

I am going to play around with a tennis ball launcher up here and see what happens....wont use it for paintball yet. just testing it on on the sides of buildings or trespassers trying to fish without permission....

I think the will react like the V-Balls.

You have more Air going around the Ball so the speed will be less.

If I shoot my Marker with PBalls at 280 and then using the V-Balls and shot over a Chrono they are half of the speed but well they are have of the weight.

Thats what I think, so maybe not really a bad idea if the Balls are the same size.... You never know

Bobio, it's not going to work, I know what you are up to You going to get everyone on board with the tennis ball, then you are going to mount one of those automatic tennis ball servers that serves tennis balls at 125 mph and holds up to 90 balls on your tank! And I'm sure after Mr.Wizard gets his hands on it, he'll modify it to shoot 10 tennis balls per second!!

Nah, I wouldn't modify one. The DC ones shoot too slow; 40 to 60mph and the AC ones...well they need a long cord.

But if I was to make Bobio something I'd have to have one too......
