This is off topic but, my brother and I were watching something on Vikings. The show was explaining how the Vikings would "breed out" the lands that they concurred. So I was like, "Hey, they're like the Borg, the assimilate the places they concur."

Oh so the majority of the leagues went with the 15 ball limits. Making the retarded 35 BPS Angels for the nubbies worthless

Somewhat. It's really mainly the Xball leagues that have done it. Although I know the CFOA (Carolina's Field Owners Association) went with the 15 ball limit as well. Seeing as my NYPS runs Xball lite, and we allow ramping, we use the 15bps limit, even if someone is shooting semi-auto.


Markers have gotten to the point where these companies will start focusing on Efficiency, and Accuracy, etc. over pure speed. I am fine with that, though. I would rather a paintball marker only capable of shooting 15bps, with incredible accuracy over one that has crappy accuracy and shoots 25bps. To me accuracy is more important than how fast your marker shoots (of course there is a minimum bps rate I look at, which is around 13-15). Also, it allows you to send people to the dead box using less paint, thus saving a ton of money. I live right outside New York City, and it is very expensive to play, most of the time. I know that my Cyborg can shoot 30bps, but it's the accuracy and efficiency of the marker that brought me want one, and to be sponsored by them.

The paintball industry is in a "recession" figuratively speaking. There hasn't been many huge advancements in technology in a while. The last big advancement I'd say was the spool valve which started with the original Matrices. Now we see many other companies using spool valves. The other major advancement I'd say was force feed hoppers. Other than those, what major advancement has there been in the last year or two?

[Peacemaker]

Not much. If they could give me a 10BPS gun that would shoot percisely and accurately at a decent range I would probably drop my trix for it. Letting someone peak into my paint is the only real way to get a hit on them in a gun fight.

My answer to peacemaker (except it shoots as fast as you can pull the trigger).


Don't forget to watch the 4th episode tonight at 10:00pm on ESPN2!

Ah, yes thanks for the reminder. Btw Kyonye, what is that gun? It looks nice, doesnt have the frame every gun out there has.

[Kyonye]

Macdev Cyborg 2006 model. The grips aren't the ones in the picture. The grips are much nicer. One of the most accurate markers on the market.

I value the accuracy over everything. I really need a new barrel kit for my trix. Its getting old and warn.

Just stay away from the freak... It is such a bad barrel kit, yet so many people have it...

You should try out the HammerHead barrel kit.. I've tested them out before, and they are extremely accurate. http://www.hammerheadpaintball.com/barrels.html

rifled PB barrles, that's interesting.

[Ivan]

I***8217;m kind of skeptical about rifled barrels.

I'd like to read more about them cause everything else I read before says it doesn't help.

[Kyonye]

I've seen the Hammerhead barrel kit fired, and got to look at them and everything. Not even my Matchstik kit was more accurate then this kit. The barrel kit is a little expensive, and that is the only reason i'm sticking with my Macdev stuff.

And XSV just got the living shit beat out of them by Dynasty. I was expecting XSV to win one of their 3 games but dynasty just destroyed them. It wasnt like lang dominated them too. It really stood out in those matches how fast and team oriented Dynasty really is.
