What are Orbeez? https://www.orbeezone.com/en_us

Apparently the po-po didn't find the wacky fun of shooting people with these to be reasonable.

Orbeeze are apparently not water pellets. They are gel capsules that expand when placed in water. They are made of sodium hydroxide and acrylic acid (and coloring). Sounds like it could hurt.

Neckbeards.

Just sick the local football team on them for a summer of humiliation and a$$Whuppins.

Obviously not marbles, the ad shows people walking on them.

Anyone shooting anything at me should know,
I believe it is better to give than to receive.

And all of a sudden these two thought of a thousand things they could have been doing

all bets are off and it is game on if I find someone shooting at me. that is unless they connect well early in the game.

For a moment I thought this thread was about the Obrez:



No idea what a Orbeez is.

If you have kids you probably know what orbeez are. They are little round pellets that absorb water and grow when left in water. They become squishy and slippery, sort of like a slightly firm Jell-O. Youtube has videos of people filling swimming pools and the like. I can't imagine them hurting if shot at Nerf gun speeds (100 fps or less) unless shot in the eye or something. With that said, any time you shoot something at people uninvited, it's going to stir up trouble.

I didn't even know they had orbeez guns but I might have to see what they're all about.

I hope they get charged and not let off easy.

Sounds like you could have a lot of fun with these things. Definitely in a controlled environment with consenting opponents. I would imagine this to be like a softcore paintball match. But anytime shots are fired at unsuspecting individuals, there's a whole other factor of retaliation, and frankly, they're lucky they weren't met with live return fire.

Kids these days. Back in my yute, we picked a bunch of Elderberries to load into our BB and pellet guns. Those would smart a bit, by golly, and leave a very satisfying purple splotch on white T-shirts. We had two cardinal rules: no head shots, and only consenting, similarly-armed participants were targeted. The fun only lasted until the first purple-spotted T-Shirt showed up in a laundry basket . . . the neighborhood moms had an unbelievably quick network.

Orbeez out of a pellet gun would be before you soak them then, right?

I would love to see one of these idiots try this in the hood and see what happen.

We used to use Pomegranate seeds out of a, "Bean Shooter". (Blow Pipe) Sure messes up a white T-Shirt.

So true!! Grew up in a town of 10K (incl Saturdays when the farmers all made their store runs)! I swear that while I didn't know everybody, everybody knew who my parents were. I'd come home and my mom could tell me who, what and where I'd been.
