A couple/three ideas to bounce off those who care:
Would spraying dry textured paintballs with teflon spray, lower wind resistance enough to add accuracy and distance?
What about adding golf-ball dimples, for lift?
Is technology at a point where it may be possible to mount a lightweight chrono to the end of a barrel, connect it to an electronic fire system, which can be set by the user to a certain velocity, and then use the velocity, saved in a circular buffer with a historesis-corrected average (i.e., throw out the highest and lowest value in the buffer), to provide minute adjustments to the amount of time a recharge valve is opened, in order to achieve perfect velocity that adapts on the fly to various factors which cause velocity to drift? (Bottle pressure, air temperature/pressure, body heating in 'mags, barrel changeout etc...) In effect, like the way some ECUs in cars work, recording the user's typical throttle behavior, and adjusting the fuel/air map for ideal fuel economy.
