No! They will be hard for about 10 minutes after leaving the freezer, then they will become very, very soft and you probably wont feel a thing if you get hit! If you see somebody pulling them out of liquid nitrogen at a field, you should tell someone, but the odds of someone freezing them, making it to the field, loading them in their gun, and hitting you with them within the ten minutes of them being rock hard, is VERY unlikely!

very very cold, they are fish oil based so you will need something along the lines of liquid nitrogen to actually freeze them. "freezing paintballs" is more of a myth than anything, and even if you did manage it you would destroy them and they would not be able to be used

No, and do not attempt to freeze paintballs. Most paintballs are not able to be frozen because they are now made with an oil that makes them brittle when subjected to cold. Most paintballs will break inside the gun if frozen.

Only the laws of physics. The fill inside a paintball doesn't contain water, so it won't freeze until about -40 degrees.

If the weather is cold enough for the paintballs to have frozen (or become thicker), it could be extremely dangerous to shoot them.

No, HPA works different than co2 and does not go through the phase change that co2 does, because of that it doesn't get cold and because its never a liquid it can't freeze your marker
