A paintball includes first and second half shell portions, each with a recess that can hold liquid containing dyes or other marking pigments. The liquid in the second half shell portion is relatively viscous, or becomes so after being placed in the second shell portion. The second shell portion can then be inverted and the liquid will stay within it. Neither shell portion includes a barrier to hold the liquids in place. The second half shell portion can then be placed on and joined with the first half shell portion to form a paintball.

Water based paintball and method for fabricating water based paintballs

A Bioluminescent Paintballincludes a shelldefining an interior cavity, a liquefied substancedisposed within the interior cavity, a phosphorescent materialdisbursed throughout the shellfor providing a visible 'tracing' effect when the bioluminescent paintballis ejected from a paintball discharge device, a neutralizing agentdisbursed throughout the liquefied substancefor neutralizing calcium disbursed throughout the liquefied substancethereby preventing light emission before the paintballimpacts a target, and a photoproteindisbursed throughout the liquefied substancefor reacting with calcium disposed upon a target after the bioluminescent paintballimpacts the target, thereby rupturing the shelland allowing the liquefied substanceto engage the calcium to produce visible light. A paintballincludes a shelldefining an interior cavity, an insoluble coatingdisposed upon an inner surfaceof the shell, and an aqueous materialdisposed within the cavitysuch that the aqueous materialengages the insoluble coating, thereby preventing the aqueous materialfrom dissolving the shell, and promoting the marking of a target via the aqueous materialwhen the paintballforcibly engages the target and ruptures the shell

Bioluminescent paintball

A devicefor illuminating luminescent paintballs before the paintballs are projected down the barrel of a paintball gun includes a conduitconfigured to form a forty-five degree angle to promote the arranging of luminescent paintballs into a single row as the paintballs 'fall' from an enclosure and into the conduitto ultimately exit the conduitand drop into a discharge mechanism, a plurality of ultraviolet lampsthat are positioned about an inner portion of the conduitto illuminate the luminescent paintballs thereby urging the paintballs to 'glow' in the dark, a &#x201c;horseshoe&#x201d; configured bracketthat disposes the lampsat preselected portions of the conduitthat maximizes the exposure of the paintballs to ultraviolet light from the lamps, a low voltage D.C. batteryand on-off switchattached to an outer portion of the conduit, and an inverteralso attached to an outer portion of the conduitadjacent to the battery, the battery, on-off switchand invertercooperating to provide a stepped up R.M.S. voltage to the lamps A hoper devicefor illuminating luminescent paintballs before the paintballs are projected down the barrel of a paintball gun includes a hopper shell, top and bottom rowsandof ultraviolet lights 14 disposed at preselected portions of the shellto maximize the exposure of the paintballsto ultraviolet light emitted from the lights, a pair of low voltage D.C. batteriesthat supply power via a switchto an inverterwhich increases the voltage to a magnitude used by the lights

A device for securing a lighting apparatus to a paintball mask to promote night paintball includes a base member a light support member extending forward from an upper portion of the base member a light positioning member extending forward from a lower portion of the base member the light support and light positioning members and cooperating to secure and position the lighting apparatus with the base member to focus light in a predetermined direction, a stabilizing clip extending rearward from a lower portion of the base member and a pair of apertures disposed through opposing upper portions of the base member the apertures ultimately receiving therethough a support belt that cooperates with the stabilizing clip to maintain the position of the device relative to the paintball mask during play of a night paintball game.
