Just a quick question how come they ended up the size they did? and how easy will it be for them to change?
the 68cal die was already being used for bath-balls, etc. I imagine thats why paint ended up there. Changing the size isn't hard, you just replace the dye roll. You still make paint exactly the same way, but it's smaller.
The best shape of a round projectile is the golf-ball shape with dimples, something that Zap trired to emulate with their Zap Advantage ball back in the mid/late 90's, with some limited success. Problem was it didn't really add proper dimples, it just had a matt finish, so the 'advantage' wasn't really there.
People have added flights to paintballs (which was funny) but of course these can't be hopper-fed. The new First Strike rounds from Tiberius are pretty fancy - they really do go further and are way more accurate - but again, these need to be clip-fed.
In order to continue using loaders, the projectile needs to be round.
I'm interested to see if Richmonds idea is that the more advanced paint Procaps produces is breaking much easier than paint in the old-days (and much to easily to be field paint). If it breaks a lot easier, and that fragile formula is then applied to a smaller ball, and used by fields, then the very fragile nature of the hellfire formula would be counteracted by the stronger characteristics of a smaller ball as discussed in this thread, perhaps rendering an ideal field ball.
The possible sub-issue is that KEE are owning the 68 field market, and Procaps are losing out. Procaps do still make the highest quality competition ball, by far, and this is possibly a way of using that successful formula in a new guise to address shortfalls in other area's. Who knows?
Especially since he took all that time to reply to each tiny little peice when he could have replied in one word
