Splooge - Paintball Terminology
Splooge as a paintball term refers to the residue that gets stuck in the barrel of a paintball gun when the paintball beaks inside the barrel. There are a number of reasons why paintballs might splooge inside the barrel. Paint may chop inside the barrel because of the quality of the paint that you are using, the quality of your marker, the size of the paintball barrel, or even because of the way you store your ammo. Some paintballs are simply a higher quality than others. In general, cheaper paintballs are more likely to break in your marker or barrels than high grade paintballs. Some high grade paint includes the Viper Platinum Series Paintballs from TC Paintballs, and Rip Paintballs from Karnage Paintballs. High quality paintballs are designed to break on their targets and not splooge inside the gun barrel. While the differences between high and low end paint is worth mentioning, it is important to note that most paintballs available on the market are quality products, and a player will experience few chopping incidents no matter what paint they buy.
There are a number of factors that could effect a players ability to shoot straight projectiles out of his marker without having them splooge in his marker. First, the quality of the paint you buy could effect the chance of your projectiles chopping in your marker. In general, the more you pay for your paint, the less likely they are to break when you shoot them. Paintballs are divided into two main categories, recreational paintballs and tournament paintballs. Recreational paintballs are usually a good source of ammo for paintball games like Charge of the Light Brigade and Hide N' Sneek. Recreational paintballs are a very dependable and reliable paintballs, and they are used in non-professional games where serious money and sponsorship deals are not at stake. Some recreational paintballs include the Super Swirl Paintballs by RPS and the Brass Eagle Paintballs by Brass Eagle. These projectiles are designed to fly straight, and only to break open when they hit their intended targets. Tournament paintballs are generally a higher level over recreational paintballs, they are a little more expensive, but they are designed to be the most dependable products on the market. Some tournament paintballs on the market include Exodus Paintball Tournament Paintballs, and Tear Paintballs from Karnage paintballs. Tournament paintballs are designed to have a perfectly round shape, with a thick paint that is very difficult to hide or wipe off. If a player is hit with Karnage Tear paintballs, the referee will see it.
In addition to the quality of the paintball, the way you store your ammo can affect the way it travels down the gun barrel. Paint that is stored in very hot or humid conditions could cause the sphere to dimple, and lost its perfect shape. A paintball that is not a perfect sphere is more likely to splooge inside of your machine. Age can also affect your little missiles, as the older your paintballs get the more likely they are to lose their perfect shape.
