in germany .50 cal should be good. with .68cal we are allowed to get only to 210fps due to our weapons and firearms law. with .50cal we would be allowed to shoot at 300fps because it`s the same amount of energy used (7,5Joule). It will make a positive difference in indoor games.
if u've ever shot 50cals you know that the only advantage is that you could probably carry about three times as many paintballs. 1 advantage of about 5 disadvantages. however definately funner shooting these ones
ok just cuz idk anything about the .50 cal paintballs but since there smaller do u need to get a diferent hopper or would they still work in like a reloader b?
You are a good liar, but, IF you did reasearch and shot .50 at cup, you would know that it pops As well as normal paint. It also has a slight increase in range while it hurts less. Please, make sure you're right before you fight....
your fuckin retarded, i saw 2 different videos posted on mcarterbrown, if you dont what that is you should quit paintball, the 50 cal paint bounces more,it was show in BOTH videos, its fact, idiot
What I believe is happening is that the makers of "paintball and stuff" are leveling out in the ammount of money they can and are making and now they are doing a forced apon us change to make more money.
I see this as a bend us over an object move and I, for one, don't like it.
but look at the benefits paint is gona be cheaper you hold more over all i think the paintball economy will go down a little......hows it being forced ?
i think if the paintball economy will go down there will be an increase due to more people think about playing paintball since it became cheaper. so more people get reached with lower prices
I like this idea, just now hearing about it, it all makes sense less ball to throw means more consistant with less air and the accuracy will be improved with the fact that the air resistance is reduced greatly
It great that eclipse is making a conversion kit so it saves you a lot of money, and as well you can go back to .68 if you want, even though they'll have issues w/manufacturing paint for .50 its gonna save anyone that plays w/an ego and the kit alot more weight and make it easier to make it alive off the break
it seems like they are doing it in good by getting more kids to play w/o the pain. but it just is a waste of time, you need special paint for it which i dont know how much it is going to be...but factories will need new machine to produce the .50 paint...i think its going to be a waste of time...maybe im gunna be wrong but thats just my 2 cents
I hate it, at some point the industry will have to pick a direction: .50 or .68 Either way there will be a whole slew of guns that either won't work, or players will need to dump money into conversion kits. I'll keep my .68
I don't think that you thought about the fact that how much the case can hold doesn't change, therefore its probably going to be about the same price because it will hold more paintballs.
I just dont think the industry can turn that quick. I was angrier at the time of my first comment, but I think it will be an option and not a revolution. And there have never actually been prices released so we are all speculating
