Technical Assistance on Creating paintballs

I'd love to start a company on the side for extra income and would like to make paintballs filled with something besides paint....
Skunk scent.
I know there is a market out there for someone who wants to surprise their buddies playing paintball, but how do I make paintballs from scratch?
PS...Congrats Robo on your promotion. Hopefully you get your own shop soon. Look into "Start your own business" classes in your State. They are nearly free, usually cost $5-$10 and you'll have your foot in the door to writing a business plan and getting your small business loan.

They do keep their own specific recipe for the capsules a secret, but if you make your own capsule-recipe and own fill - there is nothing in the world that can be held against you.
It's not like the Paintball-making-process is patented as far as I can gather anyways.
You can also device a process of your own there.
The only thing that can hurt you then, is if your paintballs end up more dangerous than the others and someone really get hurt.
But if you have a well covering Disclaimer on the product label, that shouldn't be a problem.
A thing you might consider instead, if buy a big enough portion of Paintballs - so you can deside your own capsule-coloring and fill-colours, as well as the packaging and label you want on them.
(just be sure the main-brand is written somewhere - in case of legal speculations against you. You're only buying enough product to put your "Name"/"Tag" on it.)
I can do that with Eley ammunition here, S&B and I believe Bachieri&Pellagri too.
Just buy a big enough amount and I can get my own case, box-type with my print, hull with my tag or print on it - with the load I want.
The initial cost is going to be high, as the first batch is always the most expencive.
The following batches are easier - as everything is worked out and I've dealt with them before. =o)
Yup - Would love my own HappyNanoq cartridges. =o)
Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.
The only way to get stoned??? - Whisky on the rocks.!!
ya i can buy in large enough qualitys to have my own brand and name.

I've heard they also have some that are stink bombs. But I haven't seen a supplier for them.
It makes people want to get away from the one that got hit with it.
Saw a show about it once, where a volunteer was to get hit with experimental crowd-control weapons.
He volunteered, so they could get a full scale test on humans reactions to these weapons.
That was his contribution to law enforcement.
It was shown how the pepperballs brought him down and how the pepper spread around him so he couldn't do anything than close his eyes and not breathe if he didn't want to be affected by it.
It immediately brought pain to him, as the sudden unexpected pain from getting hit by a full-auto, full-strength stream of pepperballs made him loose his breath and partly inhale the hot stuff, even his eyes hurt from it.
Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.

I sell allot of paintball gear to Our Local PD. we actully practice with them.. For the Fact out raction time is allot faster then most people.. so we had to go through all the getting shot with peper balls and stuff.. that stuff isn't fun. but i would love to get a case of it
