Freezing paintballs is an urban myth. The hard ones are those that are left out in the sun and humidity the shell absorbs moisture which causes them to "rubberize", they bounce rather than breaking which transferred more energy to the player. Paint made in the 80s and 90s is nothing like modern paintballs, bad manufacturers/brands like Monsterball are long since dead. Safety is still important masks and gun safety prevents 99.99% of paintball specific major injuries. (bruises and small cuts can still happen).
