Magic,

Actually I have more respect for Tom than to get into a did so/did not arguement over who the first guy to bounce a paintball off a cement floor was. Whether AGD was or somebody else was, my original point was that the test is pretty much an industry standard not something concieved for this batch of testing.

I hope you understand.

Dave,

Yes you are absoulutely right it has been around a long time. I am trying to promote it's widespread use given the current crop of paint.

I hate to break the news but Tom didn't invent the bounce test, people have been testing paint brittleness for years with this method. He just got a bunch of people to test a bunch of different flavors of paint in a semi regulated fashion and report the findings. In fact the bounce test is pretty standard in most paintball settings.

Can you please tell us WHO did invent it?
