Although each company keeps their ingredients a secret they are all made from Gelatin and vegetable oil mainly. Paintballs are mandated to be edible, biodegradable, and water soluble. There is nothing in a paintball that you haven't eaten before. That does not mean they taste good though.
a paintball is made up of gelatin, water based paint, and food coloring, so it is completely edible, but i would not recommend it, but anyways on to how it works.
how paintballs work: first you load them into a hopper/loader which feed the paintball into the chamber of your marker/paintball gun then with the trigger pulled propels out of the chamber due to compressed air in chamber or co2, after being blown out of the chamber sliding through your barrel it goes depending on how accurate your barrel is the paintball with will glide through the air at 300fps or lower (!never set your velocity meter higher then 300fps it will get you removed from your local field for violating safety rules!) when hitting the target the paintball will explode splattering it all of your target, or maybe the paintballs a bounce and its a wasted kill.
i hope this was helpful!
Get a bowl of flour, 1 paintball. Dip the paintball in half way (Helps if you have house paint to see the half way line) and do this in an even number. Fill the holes with hot glue from a hot glue gun. Let it sit for a couple minutes. They may LOOK dry but they take ATLEAST 3-5 minutes. When done glue both sides and Viola! Homemade paintbals!
Paintball guns are generally made from aluminum, with other materials like rubber, steel, and plastics for the internal and ergonomic parts. Cheap guns are cast aluminum, which means that melted aluminum is pushed into a mold and cooled into that shape. Expensive guns are milled aluminum, which means a machine cuts out the shape from a solid piece.
Here is a video of how paintballs are made
