I remember reading a study on the accuracy of paintballs and what increase or decreases accuracy. They took a certain brand (or brands) of paint and shot it through several different markers (which had been clamped in place) using different barrel systems to try and find out what factors are important to maintain good accuracy. Exactly as Robbo has stated here and in many other areas of the forum it includes a good combination of consistent paint, good barrel to paint match, consistent markers and so forth. It was a while back when I read this so please excuse me if I havent got all the facts 100%.
What would perhaps clear up some of the mystery of 0.50 over 0.68 being would be if someone could produce a similair test and see how 0.68 compares to 0.50 for accuracy?
Good quality consistent markers clamped in place one 0.68 the other 0.50, good barrel to paint match, paint that despite the size difference has been manufactured and stored in similair ways and then fired down a range to see how the resultant spread compares.
I think if the 0.50 at least compares well to the 0.68 and it is promised 0.50 paint would be cheaper then we may see 0.50 cal become the prominent paint?
