GIMilsim 50 vs. 68 Caliber Accuracy Test with MCBtv

50 vs 68 caliber
Shooting 30 rounds at 75 feet out.
We used the GIMilsim FM-50 paintball gun shooting GIMilsim 50 caliber paint.
We also used the Turbo Shocker with J&J Ceramic barrel shooting .68 caliber RPS Evil weighing 3.0 grams each.

Both shot at 75 feet, we threw out the worst 3 shots (outliers) to compensate for bad paintballs.

Results:
.50 caliber - 30 shots, throwing out the worst 3 = 17 1/2 inch diameter spread
.68 caliber - 30 shots, throwing out the worst 3 = 12 1/2 inch diameter spread

Even if we didn't throw out the worst three on the 68 caliber, but threw out the worst three on 50, the 68 caliber had a 16 3/4 inch spread keeping even the outliers.

Why did you ignore the extreme outlier for the .68 caliber in both calculations. One shot clearly clip the left edge of the cardboard and leave a small mark. Paint can't fly 90 degrees across a target and then curve around you know. Watch the mark appear at 3:09 with no corresponding mark or hole on the cardboard.

@snypre we dropped off the extreme outlier on both the .68 and the .50

all the data can be found at MCB under the 50tech section

It's a way to basically drop the paint due to a dimple, bad fill, or who knows.

@snypre

I just watched the video and we even state what we did at 4:34 on the video. Check it out in case you didn't watch the whole thing.

[pitatv]

how the hell can you compare a gun from the early 2000's and a gun 2009?

[painthappy]

@pitatv

I know, especially when the gun from the early 2000's performed better. Technology sure has gone down hill. Or maybe it's just the new gun? You decide which.

[DJBRIEF]

so what happens if im in a close range battle and my .50 balls dont break on my victum? he technically doesnt have to call him self shot? so will the 50's travel further or will the 68's? i got what u ment by the breaking point, but it just doesnt seem an appropriate test for lenght, especially for woods, and any kind of winds, it seems the heavier will travel a more unaffective path than a lighter ball. but i would definately love to be able to prepare my sp-1 for .50's and back again

[painthappy]

In short:

The .68 will travel further than the .50

The .68 will break further out than the .50

The .50 is more effected by the wind than .68

The .50 breaks are small, and even when they do break, most of them look like splatter and not hits.

I can only see .50 caliber working for the new player market at best, or indoor facilities.

lmao i like the mythbusters impression

[Ubernator44]

.50 cal still needs to be improved and perfected... just as .68 cal is very improved over what it used to be im sure.

[PBFR33K187]

lol mythbusters

[IAmLazerJam]

was the velocity the same of even as in the amount of co2 was being dispensed evenly between guns and 1 gun wasnt shooting harder

[paintballinbrandon]

The only thing I cant stand about 50 cal. Paint is that it makes the pain better for noobs cuz all they do is camp and they are a burden for the team so if the pain is unbearable maybe they won't come back come on guys u know u hate noobs

2:34 you got a good beat going there ;)

[bmx409]

u cant shoot worth shit

This test was so useless, build your own test gun. at 75 feet the results will be. The same.

it's like comparing a .22 to a 30-06 at 25 yards. different size bullets, different energy's, but there's little difference between the barrels, In theory, .50 cal should be very close to .68 if they have the same amount of energy, at least at 75 feet. at 200 feet things may start to change. sorry to discredit your video. but aside from building your own gun, there really is no accurate way to test this
