are 6mm paintballs really a godd idea to use in any airsoft gun? I would imagine that if the gun were to get jammed it could create quite a mess especially if a round broke while in the gun. As such I really don't trust any paintball rounds but it would be quite more dependable rather than having to rely on another's honesty about whether or not that they got shot.

It's been discussed as nauseum. The word is paintballs are a no go in Airsoft guns. To many problems.

If you look on airsoftplayers.com's forums, they've had a recent thread that got closed on this subject. In the thread they linked to three previous discussions they had on it, basically yeah, it was all against the paintballs. The way I see it, if Airsoft was meant for paintball, then it would be paintball, but it's not. :)

I used a paintball in one of my guns onetime; the gun exploded in my hand, severing two of my fingers. I don't recomend using paintballs.

No, it was in my old hfc baretta springer. The paintball poped inside the gun. I tried to field strip it, but I screwed something up and now the gun it broken.
