Pores around the ball exude the flame juice, when it's about to run out just get the next loaded ball.

I guess you could wear gloves but it's still on fire so you'd want to limit the time you're holding a ball of flame no matter what you're wearing.

Probably be easier to do with soccer but not nearly as cool.

Why stop at just shooting it? Play ball! https://x.com/Human...1843924632929202235

Cool. You might like this too.
Dissolve eggshells in vinegar to extract the calcium acetate. Strain it out with a coffee filter. Simmer it and add some alcohol til it gets all clumpy and turns into Sterno or that buffet table burning gel.

Someday I intend to inject this stuff into an empty paintball, then coat the paintball in the same stuff and shoot it through the flame of a wind-proof lighter mounted just past the tip of the barrel and see if napalm really does smell better in the morning than at other times of the day.

Is that real or a prank?

But wouldn't that be "greener planet natural extract" based napalm? Like just the "aroma" of victory not the smell?

Neither.
The science-y bit about making sterno is real. The rest of it is just in my head.

My upbringing made me need to think like a bad guy in order to stay safe so I've devised lots of ways to make a paintball gun more of a deterrent than it now is.
I never thought to post my Capacitor/Taser Painball idea...
