Paintball 2.0 Update - Marker Names and Testing

noooooooooooooooo, your previous one hurt my video card
the thing that gets me is that the videos are made to promote their products so will show them in a good light
nothing is explained on what quality of paint is used in the .68 tests, it could be 10 year old
i don't think it will take off, yes milsim and woodsball is becoming more popular but with companies like RAP4 already adopting current bore size not to mention tippman, KEE, boblong, and WDP / APS jumping on the woods wagon looks like net hype that will vanish soon
Efficiency was, is and always be a part of paintball. If it wasn't, 3000psi or less would be the standard rather than 4500psi.
Also, remember that this is smaller paint which means that you can fit more into a hopper and pods which means that you are going to need air to shoot all these extra pods OR the same amount of air but a more efficient marker.
''But the balls are x% smaller so that means x% less air needed to shoot them!''
Not necessary the case, fluid mechanics is a complex area with scale factors and all that funky stuff. There will be some reduction but not by as much as you may think.

Exactly, it might cost more just because of the higher level of quality required with a smaller calibre.
