Paintball snipers are now possible? :O

[M600]

dunno if this has been posted up but here goes
tiberius arms have released a new type of paintball:


basically its a paintball that has a cone on the end of it, the cone has fins which spins the paintball making it more accurate and giving it roughly 33% longer range. the round will cost a whopping $0.75 each i heard. however if it really is as good as everyone bigs it up to be people will stop buying cases and start buying 10 round tubes.
what do you guys think?

your hopper may have a few problems with them.

and the new mags only fit there guns so cant use with any gun unless you want to remove barrel for every shoot lol

They're designed for the Tiberius range and Tib are making adapters for all their markers. theres a thread on UKScenario discussing them.

I think they will be expensive, have a read on the nation about them

 

[niallist]

yeah, 75 cents or so is the word. So probably about 50p each. Ouch.

Still if t hey are as good as all that for proper scenario player snipers it may be worth it.

i know a few people are quite excited by it. Definitely no good for tourney types.

Where's the fun in taking someone out when you can't even see the look on their face? At 50p a shot, I want some customer satisfaction

True, but if they're that accurate you can shoot 'em in the ass and watch 'em dance about.
