but i thought anything was possible with just a dremil and a large hammer....? great, i was hoping to become a billionaire, but now i have to return my dremil/large hammer kit :P

But anyways, those paintballs are... interesting. i really need to do my research, i'm so behind on new products. lol. ive been out of the sport for too long. and i want to see pics of the Traccer! lol. it would be interesting to see an MR with a mag for these rounds... or any homemade setup for that matter.

Well you don't actually need to convert your gun, you can either load them down the barrel with a rod/squeegee or take off your feedneck and put em in the breech one at a time. There's not really an effective way to load them without a magazine or spring feed of some sort, and that'd probably take a lot of work. Not saying you shouldn't try it, just a warning. As far as how good they are, I've heard the claim of twice the range is a little exaggerated, but that they are incredibly accurate. Hope this helps.

Found it... had to search MCB to find the links.

I think that it would be cool to replace the feed neck and dremel out the hole and figure out a way to attach the mag. I was also thinking about making a new shroud that could load rounds from the underside of the barrel (maybe at an angle), almost like a hybrid muzzle loader, with a mag attached.... Just thinking out loud here
