Seconded. No way they could freeze through conventional means. I believe it's industry standard now to make the fill's base with polyethylene glycol, so no conventional freezer would freeze them since the pour point of the polyethylene glycol used in paintball is -45C (for PEG 200, which is the PEG i believe they use to make the fill). The most hardcore household freezer i've seen goes down to -40C. I've seen lab freezers that can go down to -80C but they use a liquid nitrogen circulation system.
Now, if you were to unload a CO2 fire extinguisher on a case of paint... that'd be a different story, but as the mighty admin has said before me, that'd just deform the crap out of the balls.
