[Dusty]

Ffs i must be colour blind. Ok substitute yellow where it says green in my first post.

[Lump]

[Piper]

It's OK you cannot help it!

Answer will come later today or tomorrow morning depending on how many people post :D

[Dark Warrior]

I'll go for all .50 cal

[Tom Allen]

only the orange is .68

[Piper]

I'll go for all .50 cal

Wrong there is 68 in there as well, or the game would be dull as hell!

[john251282]

Light yellow almost white and orange are .68 and the darker yellow .50

[k4p84]

I am going with dark green and orange being .68 and the light green / yellow being .50

[3L1TE hax]

light yellow: 50. cal
Others: 68. cal

good diagram :D if they are 50 cal and 68 cal mixed

[Rider]

bright/light yellow 50cal - other 2 68cal?

if so then to be fair the 68cal marks look pretty thin compared to many.

if the light yellow is the 50cal then it does seem to be very visible.

[John C]

Only the Dark yellow is 50 cal.

The other two colours are 'dribbling' which suggests a thinner fill.

[SAMUEL.D.RYAN]

All .68 because the .50 didn't break! :D

[DJForbes]

wouldnt fill thinkness and colour depend on the brand of paint used. if these paint both had a think fill am sure the running paint would look similiar or better.

[John C]

Yes. If it was thinner it would look thinner. If it was thicker it would look thicker.
But its not so I dont see how thats relevent?



Amateur psychology also backs up my prediction.
They are all fresh hits and the dark yellow was fired first.

Its human nature they would fire the 50 cal first because its new.

Unless Pipes is wise to that. In either case the result is gonne be quite funny.

I was there so I know what was fired first and it was........... The organge ball fired first then the light yellow then the dark yellow:

As for what is what................ 68 cal is the orange both yellow's are the 50 cal.......... Bright yellow fill is the tournament grade fill, darker yellow is the field grade fill.............. Orange is a field grade fill from Pro Caps.

Hmm thats wierd the bright yellow splats really appear like they are fired on top of the dark yellow.

I knew the result would be funny.:p

They were fired close (yellows) to eachother to show the fill difference.


How is it funny? I am some what confused :confused:

Because of how wrong I was.

[Piper]

Because of how wrong I was.

OK am with you now............ I blame lack of coffee on my part :D

[TGR]

Piper out of interest what do you reckon is better .50 or .68?

[Syd (NSPL)]

Yeh, Piper? ;)

[Piper]

Piper out of interest what do you reckon is better .50 or .68?

Forgetting the fact that I work for them for this answer.................. .50 is better than .68 in a few ways (I am looking at this from a field owners point of view) it is cheaper and the pain is less. What are the 2 things you hear when someone talks about paintball? Either oh paintball hurts or it costs a fortune. So from that point of view it is what sites need and the mess is less so it makes sense on those alone.

So I am all for .50 but the best thing is people have a choice if sites choose to stay .68 then it is their choice :D

[TGR]

Didn't reckon you would say that! tbh i agree with you tho, i have not shot .50 so can not say anything about it, but as piper says maybe its the future for sites...

[tomo110290]

when will this all be avalable in the uk i realy want to give it a try

[Padrao]

Good news for .50, the mark on hard surfaces seem to be pretty much the same. i know this might look dumb lol but what would be nice is to see someone being shot from distance, with one ball then the other, and see how it marks on the jerseys being used by someone since this obviously affects how the paint spreads.

Also one thing folks testing the paint have been claiming is that .68 can hit stuff and break at longer distances. Can you confirm this piper from your personal experience...

As to the major contribution this will be for a site starting fresh is think theres no doubt. Cheaper paint = more income, which makes the site more profitable in several ways, people pay less probably will play more and come back more often. There might be some investment for those that already own loads of material already, but... any change like this has consequences, in the long run it might turn out to be better for the rec player. My doubt still stands regarding tourn players, where most will prob prefer the more efficient ball, thats where my questions go..

[Piper]

I have field grade and tournament grade paint and they both break fine over distance.......... However I can also lay my hands on .68 cal that won't break over any distance :D

Customer that did these shots also shot one of his staff members and the amount of paint was the same as the .68.

The mark on the clothing was still visable and you could not really tell the difference between the 2 marks.

[Padrao]

Those are good news. Really i was getting the feeling that independent tests and experience from folks were shooting down .50 cal pretty bad. And without any other proof or testing that was really where I was basing my opinion.

Oh well... maybe itstime to start considering praying for DLX to make a kit for LUXE or else Im $#"%#$%# lol

Anyone wants a LUXE marker with 4 months :P?

I still want to shoot it myself, that will be the final test no doubt...

You only forgot this test isn't independent :)

[Tom Allen]

only the orange is .68

not an ego 10 then?;)

[Piper]

Tom it was a guessing game hardly worthy of an Ego 10 :D

If you had designed a gun or a web site for them then maybe I could of swayed that, but it would have been an Ego .50 :D

Sadly Gi Milsim t-shirts are 40% smaller than other t-shirts, so I hope you like the skin-tight look ;)

On the plus side rumors say they are very hard to break....
