I've fired this stuff, and OMG, your **** goes over twice as far!

All those guys buyiong scopes, laser sights etc finally have a reason for all that crap. Say what you like, but when you're standing out in the open thinking 'no-one can reach me' and you get drilled in the mask, no-one will have to see the expression on your face top know you just got punked. I woudl pay 50p for that!
Also, those missions where you are supposed to take out the other guys general just got a lot more interesting.

I say these things rock. They are specialist stuff for clip-fed Tiberius guns, sure, but isn't that what makes them cool? You can shoot 20bps all day long, but if your shots are going 150' and mine are going 300', does it really matter?

paintball snipers have always been possible infact according to the dictionary basically every woodsballer i know of is a sniper


dictionary definition
a marksman that shoots targets from a concealed position

also is it possible for the plastic bit at the back to scratch your mask

I used to shoot a z-body mag, and that shot much further than your average gun. Bout half a mile I think. But seriously, this is quite a cool idea. Anyone care to explain the physics?

they made it like a real bullet as in giving them the "fins" which gives the round an aerodynamic shape and it also stabilizes the shot in midair also the back is completetly hollow which decreases the weight


but what i want to know is are the fins biodegradable

Basically its better aerodynamics. The thing with these rounds is that they maintain their velocity for a much longer distance, hence, being shot from 150' away feels like being shot at 10' away. The shell checks-out and is no more dangerous than a paintball, and still biodegradeable. They have to be clip-fed through the TIB clip and a new barrel is also needed for existing TIB guns, while future 'Elite' models will come with the clip and barrel fitted. The upgraded parts will take regular paintballs, so you don't have to keep switching.

My advice, go out and get the Tiberius T9 Elite ST. Then get some of these rounds, then have a completely different type of fun while playing paintball. In my experience there is no greater fun than being completely dominant over your opposition. Used to be that was through shooting an Angel etc, and its the same this time, except this time the advantage is that they are wondering where they are getting shot from, and they are still not close enough to smell the reefer tucked behind your ear. I'm tellin' ya, this is a major advantage, and an extremely enjoyable one.

No. You won't find them useful for bouncy-castle paintball, but for woodsball this is the ****.

i just cant wait for some noob to muzzle load one without their googles:p
It won't be a noob, it will be some kid at a tournament who thinks it will make him look agg. Noobs are way smarter than your average tournament player and do not have the troublesome drive to maintain a level of what they perceive as cool (see pink thread).

Anyway, these things are fcuking 'Sniper-Rounds' dude! For the first time, you can put a scope on your gun and it will actually DO SOMETHING!

SO Excited!!
