Nope. I can tell you there will be a clever little gizmo introduced at HB that while not techno wizardry pretty nearly all y'all are gonna want--in fact, be unable to live without.
technologically speaking whats next?

My memory of it was a bit scetchy i agree.Originally posted by manike
I only styled and packaged it over the required internal components, the concept and development work was done by some other clever guys.
It can shoot arounf 400-500 shots per battery.
glad you could put me right.
Has it led to anymore lovely innovations you want to tell us about?

Weight will be the drive for the next year or two, I think. Efficiency will be the necessary follow up to this, since such a large part of the whole gun's weight is attached to the bottom of the gripframe. More Durable hoppers could happen anytime, although there is a balance point with something like that, where you have to find the ideal compromise between good reputation for reliability and something that won't last forever (so that replacements/ parts still sell). That probably applies to guns, too; durability will be the last metric to get refined.
I agree with Manike about the consistent paintballs. That would matter a lot. It may be that the most important developments are not in the technology used on the field, but increased efficiency in the infrastructure of paintball companies. As logistic expenses dwindle, profits increase, and sponsorship/ savings trickle down to Joe Paintballer. Or more can be earmarked for R&D. Or else Richmond Italia finally gets that gold toilet he's been wanting...

You sound a little like Ben Tippmann (or Manike, for that matter) talking about the APEX just before it came out. Paintball players, for all the gear mania, are conservative about equipment, aren't they? At least as conservative as jr. high school kids are about fashion?Originally posted by Baca Loco

Nothing like the Apex. Nothing like the hype, nothing like the limited appeal. Just remember this post in about 6 weeks. Oh, and you'll be wanting one too Gyro.
JT are WAY ahead of you m8, they did that with the proteus, from what ive heard though, the built in ear pieces in the proteus are a lil crap..
id guess the best people to ask about light, unobtrusive, quality radio systems would be the serial rec ballers..
Of course I will. I have no idea what you are talking about, and I already want one. Until I reach the pinnacle of the sport, I'll buy anything that someone claims will make me play better.Originally posted by Baca Loco

**assuming I get to play anything this year. grrr.
Definatley the way ahead imho, this sort of technology especially the cell technology is being driven hard by mainstream industry, and not by what really in comparison is a small industryOriginally posted by manike
