"This thing touches your skin for even a second, you're gonna get frostbite" It's not like there's a bunch of videos on youtube demonstrating that you can pour liquid nitrogen on your hand without any trouble.
@@PatrixBest those videos must be fake you are probably confusing it with dry ice liquid nitrogen would kill off your hand in a matter of seconds with continous contact
A year late, but oh well. Not really a myth, as shown in the video the impact is more focused with less spread. You aren't wrong about one thing though - it does hurt more when cold.
The first test is like a day of winter paintball. This is the temperature range most people who claim to freeze paintballs would use. I can confirm that paint is almost as likely to break in the gun as it is on target at that temperature.
AirsoftSlo Please, I've judged and played for decades. Airsoft players need half the day to shoot the shit, a quarter of the day to fiddle with their gear, and the other quarter to larp. Judging you people is the worst. You camp until the game is called, refuse any call that doesn't have you standing in a pile of BBs, and it has taken nearly two hours to get you to the fields ready to "play" on multiple occasions. Definition of an airsoft player: The laziest cheaters of any sport. I wish warhammer would make an airsoft gun so you larpers could stop wasting everyone's time and stay in base painting your favorite skins so people could play the fields. You're a flock of shit casuals that show up "for fun." Which means anything but playing, being honest, and getting better.
From what i was told, the story comes from when paintball first started the formula that makes up the inside of the pb was different and was able to freeze. Then pb companies added something to it to make it not freeze in a normal freezer.
Fixers Workshop they add alcohol to them today because of lawsuits because their water based paintball would freeze solid causing major injury’s. You can still find them with the cheapest brands out there but almost every one adds additives. The person in the video and people claiming it can’t happen tells me they don’t have any clue what they are talking about and are way to young to remember or were not even born when the change happened
Played some outlaw ball years ago where the high temp for the day was 5°f, we had to store paint on the house because of freezing issues, that was a brutal day of play
What the crap guys?! The whole point of the myth is “Ooooh! Frozen paintballs hurt sooooo much more!!!” And you don’t test for that?! No ballistic gel comparisons? No “how many pizza boxes will it shoot through?” No breaking glass? Why bother???
Kodiak Jack they also are being dishonest trying to prove they are right. When in fact they can be frozen with the cheapest brands in a regular freezer. The more expensive brands add additives to prevent them from freezing at normal temperatures hence why he had to use extreme temperatures to get them to freeze. Before it was common place to add alcohol to them it was very common to have them freeze during outdoor games hurting people badly
Kodiak Jack yep, waterbased paintballs 10-15 years ago it was every common for them to freeze and asshole would freeze them during the summer matches . After a number of major lawsuits because of people being serious hurt, manufacturers started to add alcohol and other additives to prevent it freezing during cold temperatures. These people in the video are being truly dishonest or are way too young to remember when the frozen Paintballs were causing major injury’s.
Splatter Man being as tacky as they were straight out of the freezer. They still weren’t very accurate. If we waited a full 10-15 minutes we found accuracy improved.
Leaving paint in your freezer will cause them to fly all over the place. I regularly test my markers with frozen paintballs (since they're really brittle) and the spread I get from them is ridiculous
Liquid nitrogen wouldent give you frost bite after a second on the skin theres a thing called the laydin frost effect it wont freeze if you keep your hand moving
robert favors it would freeze if your hand was moving but not if the dry ice/liquid nitrogen was moving between hands but liquid nitrogen is considerably harder to move all of it fast enough so don’t juggle liquid nitrogen but with dry ice works
I found out about 1-2 years ago freezing paintballs from a refrigerator or deep freeze is going to ruin the paintballs. My friends who say “No, that would make them hurt more” but, DON’T freeze them because the ice coating the paintballs would melt causing the shell to get soft and swell up obviously popping in the barrel.
Me and a friend(his marker) tried marbles when i was in high school. They fit perfect and its a good seal but pretty slow (heavier than paintballs). until he modified some internal air regulator. not sure if it's called that but there was an adjustment screw that he had already maxed out. I believe he enlarged the hole in the valve. After that it punched right thru walls in my garage. landlord was not happy lol
Brian John someone is old enough to remember like me in those days and the changes made due to lawsuits from people over people being serious hurt from frozen paintballs
Yup, back in the 90s you could get ones that would freeze. You could also fit scented bath beads from avon in some old markers. The shells on those were a bit harder.
Well I'm hearing the paint makeup isn't the same as it used to be but besides that, who's freezer is set to 21f, I feel like that's really warm. Most freezers I see are 0f
I have experienced the pain of a frozen paintball because when I used to live in Alaska people would leave their paintballs in their trunk and would freeze them unintentionally on the way to the field
As a paintball player. Just know when you go to a field to play. They almost ALWAYS require you to use field paint only. Meaning you can’t bring your own. It’s so annoying when someone tells me a story at a local field that I play at where someone is using frozen balls because it’s just not possible
Just as a heads up, liquid nitrogen when in contact with bare skin will not cause frostbite immediately. It will take a bit, due to a layer of gas formed between your skin and the liquid nitrogen. It will however cool skin until it can make contact, in which it will cause frostbite. I still would not recommend to play with liquid nitrogen at home, unless all safety protocols are followed.
06:09 If liquid Nitrogen gets on your skin, nothing will happen, the Liedenfrost effect will protect your hand/skin. if you put you hand in the liquid Nitrogen that is another story.
This was entertaining! However your best bet would have been to find the practical temperature (if any) at which some guy in his backyard would be able to freeze a paintball
Cam Clark new production paintballs will not freeze in normal cold temperatures due to additives as these people should have known and if known refused to disclose. After several major lawsuits manufacturers were forced to add alcohol and other additives to prevent them from freezing because people were getting serious hurt by FROZEN paintballs during winter play and from assholes freezing them in the summer. It is no myth at all and screw them from hiding facts from people
If you vent a CO2 cannister into one of those silver cups you have, you can freeze them that way. Thats how we used to do it, and they do shoot, bounced off concrete at like 5 feet away. Another "story" lol but ive done it!
Jamie Crookbaine i played 15yrs ago. The paint was different, would freeze soild in a freeser after a few hrs. Would also freeze while flying througj the air at 15°. Used to play on snowmobiles in winter
Jamie Crookbaine how I can tell you are young as shit and don’t have a clue and were not born when the paint mixture was very different and didn’t contain anti freezing additives. It was a very real thing
You won’t get frost bite from a splash FYI. You can literally pour it on your bare skin and it’ll flow off. Now submerging it would bring different results.
The Walmart paintballs back in the day would freeze solid as a rock. They stuck in plywood with a cheap spider extra you need paint that really freezes
I've had a couple shot at me before and they acted a bit like rubber. This was over a decade ago, so I think it has alot to do with the manufacturing of cheap paint in the past and the water content of those paintballs. I know they use a fish oil based gelatin for the paint and shells now, but I'm curious to know what kind of precautions were taken in the past. I've never seen one aside from that one experience, though, so perhaps there was just a brand of paint that had to be pulled from the shelves. One thing I do know is that these stories have to start somewhere.
used to paintball when i lived in FL, neighbor froze his balls and maxed his air pressure on his gun and shot a plywood board with it, mixed results of shattered balls, and broken board, until balls came up to temp
I thought the change in formula back in 2008 or something like that prevented paint inside the balls from freezing did that not happen? Putting anything in liquid nitrogen is going to freeze but I mean when he had them in the styrofoam
Please try this with glow in the dark paintballs . The composition might be different and they turn rock hard. I left some in my freezer for a few months and shot them at a plywood wall and they just bounced off
My city gets to -40 and if we play paintball in it the paintballs still break but not as often... i dont know if its because the jackets add cushion or because they are cold
It’s better to work with liquid nitrogen WITHOUT GLOVES. The reason behind it is that if it touches the glove it can freeze your hand WITH it and without gloves liquid nitrogen just rolls off the skin BC of temperature difference.
I know this is late but pouring liquid nitrogen on to your skin is pretty safe it just evaporates, unless you stick your hand into a container of it you should be fine with proper care. It’s actually not safe to where most gloves when handling it you have a higher chance of getting frostbite.
I'm from the upper peninsula of Michigan, and in the winter when we'd play field ball, temps would often be -20, wouldnt have a choice the balls froze in the hopper lol
When I was playing during the winter the rubber or whatever covering the paintball was get so cold it wouldn’t break. I had so many bruises from being hit but I was only had to call hit once because the paint didn’t burst. That’s what the leader said. If it doesn’t pop don’t call it
For what ever reason back in the 90's you would see older guys store their paint in coolers. Maybe so they wouldn't degrade as fast? But what would happen is a gun would sometimes shoot incredibly hot!!! The old cheap paint balls when they were shot at high speed often bounced. Then all a sudden "That jerk freaking shot me with a frozen paintball. Look at the welt and it didn't even break".
I've heard that modern paintballs have an antifreeze kind of chemical in them now so, as you discovered in this experiment, don't freeze easily anymore to avoid foul play
Should have tested on meat to see if it penetrates, the energy transfer will be much more efficient with the frozen ones so more likely to get through. Also to eye protection.
Dude liquid nitrogen will not hurt your skin if it touches you for a very short period of time, it'll roll off after forming a bead because of the temperature difference or also known as the leidenfrost effect, look it up, it would not hurt you unless you had your limb submerged in it longer than a second but if it boils off and touches you, you'll be fine, I also noticed you didn't give the nitrogen a chance to cool down the metal tins before pouring a lot in, that's why it splashed out at first because of the tin not being the same temperature as the liquid nitrogen, next time poor less in and give it a minute to cool then pour the rest you need in
Ashraven PB it was horrible two people lying and being dishonest why new paintballs will not freeze and it was no myth at all. Old production paintballs would freeze solid because no additives were used to prevent it like today. They either were lying are truly don’t have a clue what they claim is going on. Manufacturers were sued because kids were getting fucked up by solid frozen paintballs that hit like a rock. Hence why nearly everyone puts anti freezing agents on their products. It was no myth and screw them for lying about it
Well, whatever the facts may be today... I know what I saw in my youth (i'm mid 40's now) and I've seen the damage from frozen paintballs, i've seen the lawsuit papers and I've seen the place get shut down via announcement due to people doing stupid shit on the field like using frozen balls. They may not freeze today, but they sure as sh!t froze back in the day and no amount of sh!t anyone says is going to tell me otherwise. When you seen stuff with your own eyes, you know your experience is truth.
The reason people freeze paintball is because it makes the shell more brittle and they bust easier when they are thawed less chance of getting a splatter and more of an out
Little fun fact, you can actually have liquid nitrogen on your skin for a few minutes as long as it's moving, once it sits/pools in one spot on your skin is when you get into trouble. Your able to do this cause liquid nitrogen has an extremely low boiling temperature 🌡 which is basically everything on earth, like your skin temperature is enough to make that stuff boil. So because of that when it hits anything and is moving around on, there is a small layer of gas between your skin/whatever it's on and the liquid nitrogen, so it protects you from freezing/burning yourself with the nitrogen. But when you let it sit in one spot that protective gas layer from the flash boiling point of the nitrogen is removed so it has time to very rapidly cool down whatever its sitting in/on and if that happens to be your hands you're in for a very bad day. And yes even with that layer of gas between your skin and the nitrogen it's still going to be extremely cold and maybe burn you a bit.
Ive been shot by frozen paintballs i play in my backyard and I had a friend over for a sleep over and the next day we played and I diddent know he put paintballs in a container with ice in the freezer and she shot me and it felt the same but it was harder and dident brake
6:05 😂 not true, you can completely dip your hand in liquid nitrogen and suffer no skin damage. The liquid is so cold it will boil on skin contact and release nitrogen gas keeping more liquid from coming in contact with your hand. But this will only work for a second if you left your hand in the liquid for more than a second you will have damage
Was this with oil based paint or water based? I've personally tried freezing Paintballs from my local field (at home just to test the myth) and I found that I had very different results, the paint on the inside was actually more runny and the shells became extremely brittle or soft.
pro team Joy Division froze paintballs because they are more brittle and break during tourneys. You wouldn't want to freeze paint balls, they dimple and cork screw, due to moisture you would need to use them immediately
Colin Thomson This was a very real problem and still is with very cheapest paintballs. They now add alcohol to them today because of lawsuits because their water based paintball would freeze solid causing major injury’s. You can still find them with the cheapest brands out there but almost every one adds additives. The person in the video and people claiming it can’t happen tells me they don’t have any clue what they are talking about and are way to young to remember or were not even born when the change happened. He is clueless
Companies that make paintball now days make paintballs that are supposed to shatter when frozen at extreme temperatures. Their paint compounds are not the same as they were when paintball first started becoming famous. That is due in part because people where abusing the balls and freezing them to cause more pain, I myself got hit by one of them a long time ago. I think there are cheap Chinese brands that still have the old original paint compounds, but I really don't know. A proper scientific experiment would be to test multiple types of paintballs frozen in dry ice and testing their impact force. We all know that the velocity would be the came, the only thing that would change is weight and quemicals.
you wont get frostbite from l N2 splashing on your skin how do people not realize this by now. and why does no one follow materials safety and research what they are using and how to properly handle it
Ashraven PB again they used to be able to freeze solid because they are waterbased paint and after manufacturers were sued for causing serious damage to people they started adding additives to prevent them from freezing in normal temperatures. That’s why, has nothing to do with joint pain.
So basically, freezing paintballs doesn't do anything. Better stick to glass balls.

You don’t get frostbite if you touch liquid nitrogen I’ve done it myself and it was cold and hurt a bit but it didn’t give me frostbite
My city gets to -40 and if we play paintball in it the paintballs still break but not as often... i dont know if its because the jackets add cushion or because they are cold
My favorite part is where he thinks you get frostbite from simply coming in to contact with liquid nitrogen.
"Skin contact with LN can result in burns, blistering, and severe frostbite injury, which can occur within seconds of exposure"
It’s better to work with liquid nitrogen WITHOUT GLOVES. The reason behind it is that if it touches the glove it can freeze your hand WITH it and without gloves liquid nitrogen just rolls off the skin BC of temperature difference.
The real question is whether or not the ordinary freezer substantially changed the velocity of the round.

Should have tested on meat to see if it penetrates, the energy transfer will be much more efficient with the frozen ones so more likely to get through. Also to eye protection.
Monsterball does way more damage than a frozen paintball ever could.
steven biedrzycki what about a frozen monsterball
Rc Xd you’re killing someone 😂
Dude liquid nitrogen will not hurt your skin if it touches you for a very short period of time, it'll roll off after forming a bead because of the temperature difference or also known as the leidenfrost effect, look it up, it would not hurt you unless you had your limb submerged in it longer than a second but if it boils off and touches you, you'll be fine, I also noticed you didn't give the nitrogen a chance to cool down the metal tins before pouring a lot in, that's why it splashed out at first because of the tin not being the same temperature as the liquid nitrogen, next time poor less in and give it a minute to cool then pour the rest you need in
This is by far the best frozen paintball test video on youtube
Ashraven PB it was horrible two people lying and being dishonest why new paintballs will not freeze and it was no myth at all. Old production paintballs would freeze solid because no additives were used to prevent it like today. They either were lying are truly don’t have a clue what they claim is going on.
Manufacturers were sued because kids were getting fucked up by solid frozen paintballs that hit like a rock. Hence why nearly everyone puts anti freezing agents on their products. It was no myth and screw them for lying about it
zack9912000 no it’s becuase they use a fat no you can’t freeze fat in a freezer
Groovy Panda yea you can freeze fat and no that isn’t what they use kid
Well, whatever the facts may be today... I know what I saw in my youth (i'm mid 40's now) and I've seen the damage from frozen paintballs, i've seen the lawsuit papers and I've seen the place get shut down via announcement due to people doing stupid shit on the field like using frozen balls. They may not freeze today, but they sure as sh!t froze back in the day and no amount of sh!t anyone says is going to tell me otherwise. When you seen stuff with your own eyes, you know your experience is truth.
Hey I know I'm late to the party but after freezing them how long until they turn back or swell up
When I played you could get paint balls called Super Swirls they had a real thick shells, they really hurt when you got blistered by them....😫
gotta love that grouping 2:04
"Oh trained professionals like mysel..oh shrrj" 😁 great vid
My mom once froze a paintball and she shot her truck by accident. It had a big ass dent with a pink mark.
The reason people freeze paintball is because it makes the shell more brittle and they bust easier when they are thawed less chance of getting a splatter and more of an out
7:05 He can’t aim lol 😂
Yeah because there’s a giant fucking hopper in his face
I froze draxxis bronze and it became extremely brittle and kind of like a slurpee inside. I only froze 5 and each one broke because of the bolt.
Can we just acknowledge that he is barely hitting the target at all
i also witnessed a paintball in winter completely embed itself in raw flesh and puss out green paint
Little fun fact, you can actually have liquid nitrogen on your skin for a few minutes as long as it's moving, once it sits/pools in one spot on your skin is when you get into trouble. Your able to do this cause liquid nitrogen has an extremely low boiling temperature 🌡 which is basically everything on earth, like your skin temperature is enough to make that stuff boil. So because of that when it hits anything and is moving around on, there is a small layer of gas between your skin/whatever it's on and the liquid nitrogen, so it protects you from freezing/burning yourself with the nitrogen. But when you let it sit in one spot that protective gas layer from the flash boiling point of the nitrogen is removed so it has time to very rapidly cool down whatever its sitting in/on and if that happens to be your hands you're in for a very bad day. And yes even with that layer of gas between your skin and the nitrogen it's still going to be extremely cold and maybe burn you a bit.
I’m pretty sure can’t freeze them no more cuz if you think about it the company’s now can make it where get cold but don’t freeze anymore
You will have no change inna paint ball last couple years they change that cuz ppl getting shot in eye and shit
Where did you get that flannel??
Ive been shot by frozen paintballs i play in my backyard and I had a friend over for a sleep over and the next day we played and I diddent know he put paintballs in a container with ice in the freezer and she shot me and it felt the same but it was harder and dident brake
6:05 😂 not true, you can completely dip your hand in liquid nitrogen and suffer no skin damage. The liquid is so cold it will boil on skin contact and release nitrogen gas keeping more liquid from coming in contact with your hand. But this will only work for a second if you left your hand in the liquid for more than a second you will have damage
Went paint balling a couple years ago and some dude had marbles mixed in with his paintballs.
Was this with oil based paint or water based? I've personally tried freezing Paintballs from my local field (at home just to test the myth) and I found that I had very different results, the paint on the inside was actually more runny and the shells became extremely brittle or soft.
pro team Joy Division froze paintballs because they are more brittle and break during tourneys. You wouldn't want to freeze paint balls, they dimple and cork screw, due to moisture you would need to use them immediately

This was a very real problem and still is with very cheapest paintballs. They now add alcohol to them today because of lawsuits because their water based paintball would freeze solid causing major injury’s. You can still find them with the cheapest brands out there but almost every one adds additives.
The person in the video and people claiming it can’t happen tells me they don’t have any clue what they are talking about and are way to young to remember or were not even born when the change happened. He is clueless
You can spill liquid nitrogen on your hand but your have to have it moving or just spill it on and on your hand
Companies that make paintball now days make paintballs that are supposed to shatter when frozen at extreme temperatures. Their paint compounds are not the same as they were when paintball first started becoming famous. That is due in part because people where abusing the balls and freezing them to cause more pain, I myself got hit by one of them a long time ago. I think there are cheap Chinese brands that still have the old original paint compounds, but I really don't know. A proper scientific experiment would be to test multiple types of paintballs frozen in dry ice and testing their impact force. We all know that the velocity would be the came, the only thing that would change is weight and quemicals.
Why would fields have dry ice?
So, im thinking that the ones in the conventional freezer would still hurt more when u get hit.
they dont
you wont get frostbite from l N2 splashing on your skin how do people not realize this by now. and why does no one follow materials safety and research what they are using and how to properly handle it
got my first paintball gun for Christmas. it was about 20*F and we decided to try our new guns out. bad idea!! they do hurt more in the cold
www.thejournal.ie/pain-cold-weather-joints-3125410-Jan2017/
Thats why they seem to hurt more
Ashraven PB again they used to be able to freeze solid because they are waterbased paint and after manufacturers were sued for causing serious damage to people they started adding additives to prevent them from freezing in normal temperatures. That’s why, has nothing to do with joint pain.
hey man if you can't hit the target maybe you should try getting closer.
Can you make shooting marbles out of paintball gun?
