reballs are the best practice ball.

u don't reballs are made of a plastic like material. They are pretty strong and some indoor fields actually use them. Ppl shoot them into a box or such to make collecting them easy. They are reusable and require no maintance such as oils. This way they are perfect for any paintballgun.

they aren't cheap. But u can buy them in small amounts like 500 so it minimizees costs. Also they are reuseable and don't wear out really (well to my knowledge) so it's like having cases and cases of paint.

V-balls are really nice. I liked them a lot. I used the velcro on my pack and they stick really good. Make sure you get the target with them though or you have to make your own contraption. Now I have to buy new ones though because my brother took them thinking they were normal paintballs and shot them at trains.

I wouldn't get reballs with the intent of using them in your home. We tried fridge boxes as cheap bunkers in the school gym once (hey, they were free and we were poor), and the reballs would punch through the boxes pretty easy. If they didn't break your walls, they sure bounce like crazy, so expect them to hit something sooner or later.

Othewise, they're great for simulating real paint. Fly just right, but seem to sting more. Recomended velocity is 220 or 230.

Haven't used V-balls, but they looked like a cool idea.

T-bawls, the rufus dawg ones, need to be oiled when used and that never struck me as a good idea. Plus they are hard rubber and would probably feel like a rubber bullet if one hit you or bounced into you.

The best way for shoting reballs in your home like that is to set up a sheet that will collect them. They shoot straight and dont wear out at all unless your shooting hard surfaces.

If your shooting hard surfaces (like say a wall), each ball will last around 200 or so shots before starting to become deformed.

My team is in the process of gettign our school to let us practice in the gym, and now we need to get enough netting so that the balls arent hitting the walls constantly.

vballs work good from what i have seen. most people are happy with them. and the target idea can be good and bad....good because it sticks and easy to pick up...but bad if you dont have like a huge board to shoot them at...
