Elongated Paintballs + spin = Definately possible.

[foot]

I know of a way to make elongated paintballs perform effectively. How do I contact the R+D department and get them to hear me out?

[Duck Hunt]

Are you talking about oval shaped paintballs? If so, did you find a way to make them work in todays loaders??

And, if by R&D you mean Air Gun Designs, try their website, airgun.com.

I'm talking about a long paintball. A cylinder with a half of a paintball on each end. I will contact them. Thanks.

Its been discussed before and over and over. The PAint in the shell does not spin with the shell, therefore making the spin not very effective. You could make the paint "sticky" so it would adhere to the shell until it broke.

[Deltree]

even if you did get it to spin effectively theres no way it would load effectively in today's loaders

[foot]

I've solved that problem.

Also, there are already loaders that will load elongated projectiles. It resembles the Qloader.

if they dont fit todays guns/loaders then it has no possibility to succeed. also no respectable company will listen to you unless you hve preformed a succesful experiment

I think if something doesn't have the ease of bulk carry/loading possible with current loaders and round balls, it will at best be a niche product. there are also safety issues involved.

in the end will an extremely accurate, long-ranged projectile improve the game?

it's call the machofire paintball marker and clip feed football shape paintballs. I saw an ad back in the early 90s for it but never saw an actual marker.
just an ad in apg

[Konigballer]

I remember that ad! That was in one of the first APG's I ever bought in '92 or '93 I think, but I've never met anyone who actually owned one of those.

I dontthin you ever will. :p

I absolutely can't believe that people still think paintballs don't spin.

[foot]

Are you refering to what I said, Lurker? I'm sure you know, the problem they were having was getting the fill inside to spin with the shell. During their tests the shell's rotation would slow way down once it left the barrel.
