triggers that sense your desire to shoot so that you dont even have to pull it.

rates of fire so fast that the stream of paintballs coming out resembles those play doh extrusion toys.

gas efficiency so good a 12 gram will last a season.

a hopper that holds 3 cases of paint that is only the size of a postage stamp (must be center feed compatible as well).

ANSI certified force field face protection.

a marker so compact Peter Parker is in awe (must be annodized in various fade colors).

and apparently text messaging...

Decreases in production costs, but not decrease in quality.

A general reduction of useless doohickeys and deceptive "upgrades"

A hopper with a lighter powersource (watch battery), and generally less heavy.

Better paintballs

OHH OHH I GOT ONE!!

A paintball transporter, so you can have 2 cases in the staging area, and when you need to reload, you just press a button on your hopper and it fills up.

I think the best thing for the industry would be a gun that always worked and required no maitnence.

I've said what the people want, but you might mean what do the companies want. They want a beautiful, great, fast-firing marker that takes $.50 to produce, costs about $100,000 if you want one new, and that EVERYONE wants. It should also need a tune-up at the factory(which you charge for, of course) every 3 months, and that has super-fragile parts, so if someone even grips it to hard in a game, they have to buy new parts.

The catch is, that it must be popular. See, if no one buys it....

Someone mentioned adjustable barrel sizes? I saw one at Skyball this year. Can't remember who put it out, but it did exactly that...

I want paintball to get more publicity, like have t.v. commercials with agd's new extreme e-mags. That would be sweet. It would also be good for the paintball industry's in making more sales.

I would like to see lighter and more compact markers.

Lowered prices but not lowered in quality.

MORE FIELDS...the closest field to my house is a little over an hour!

Better paintballs that are more accurate and get better distance.

More custom upgrades so every gun is truely different.

many of the players number one priority is looks. if it is butt ugly, not many people will like it. many people hate the mag because it is a tube with a trigger. the extrme and sfl have changed that though.

i like

crisp short trigger
light weight
no chops or breaks
efficency
comfortable face protection
gun i can drop on the ground or smack againsty somthing, and still have it work (mag)

Yep,that ArAdus barrel system looks pretty slick.You twist the back of the barrel,and the bore size changes.go to www.psychoballistics.com for more info.

I just want it to cost less to play. $80 a day makes it kinda expensive. Id be out a heck of a lot more if it only cost me $20 or $40 a day to play. And im not talking gun prices either, but paint prices. I think everyone keeps the paint prices high cause they need to make money and paint in the bread and butter, but I think what they would lose in price per case they could make up in volume through increased sales.
