Abstract
A method for making a paintball grenade includes adding a thickening agent, a coloring agent, and a mixing agent to an enclosure, such as a balloon. Water is added to the enclosure and combines with the thickening agent and the coloring agent to form a colored, gelatinous liquid. The mixing agent facilitates the mixing of the thickening agent and the coloring agent with the water. The enclosure can be thrown or launched during a game of paintball to eliminate players on an opposing team from the game.
