Marker technology
- Thread starter timmyh007
- Start date
Within the confines of the Tournament marketplace, I imagine the next race is going to be to get the high-end marker, complete with all the features people currently want (minus the ones no-one uses), onto the market for $500 US.
I see all future tech being used to make the guns cheaper rather than better. There's no point trying to make them faster anymore, and no point making them lighter either. We are at critical mass in these regards. All guns are pretty reliable these days, and the only obvious way to successfully garner more market share is now to hit vital price-points.

Why prolong the suffering... Let's just shoot ourselves in the head right now...
Think of it as a hill, we're currently say... 80% of the way to the top.
Once prices start plummeting for cheap, highly reliable, feature packed markers then we start rolling down the nice long slope to success!!!
Cheaper markers = more affordability
More affordability = more players
More players = Win!
Thats how I like to pretend the world works at the moment at least.
4 colours is a perfectly genuine feature. Look at the latest dell laptop advert.
Colour is something the customer can get to grips with.
Right now paintball guns have all these silly buzz words, which are just designed to confuse the customer until he doesnt even know what hes buying.
An example of that is operating pressure.
Something thats quoted on most paintball gun adverts.
How is the customer supposed to know the effect of the pressure in their gun?
They dont, they just assume lower is better. Which, by the way is at best a huge simplification. At worst its just plain wrong.
