There's no need to test that. Common sense can disprove it, and it has even been tested. The results will not change due to a different paintball gun. And I think that quote must be a rumor, Sean has admitted that CP's test proved him wrong.

I'm broke, but I'll donate $1. That should cover ~40 paintballs. . .

So what are you planning on testing next? You mentioned barrel breaks. Are you going to continue seeking the best paint:bore match? I would love to see if a brass barrel resulted in less breaks with the same paint:bore match.

Also, this might be difficult, but I would like to see the effect of porting. In the "Tom's Tech Tips" section here on AO, Tom gives his "effective barrel length" theory where an 8" barrel is the same as a 12" barrel with 4" of porting. I don't think it's so simple. Like the backspin bolt thing, it might make only an irrelevant difference, but I have alway wondered exactly what porting does, and to what degree. Just an idea.

How do you expect people to donate money to you when you're unable to remain professional while, essentially, begging? If I'm to donate money for something, I would want to see some degree of professionalism. How do I know you kids aren't going to blow my money on Hustler and comic books? I was seriously waiting for you two to embrace each other and start making out, you both looked like you wanted to.

Why don't you fund your own research? Is paint really that expensive?

[questionful]

They're college students, ramen is expensive.

And how are they being unprofessional? Or gay?

A little constructive criticism in order to come off more professional.

* Don't scratch yourself on camera.
* Don't talk with your hands.
* Don't move around so much when you are doing close up shots.
* Steady cam shots should be a must.
* Camera lighting should be a must, much of your videos are way too dark.
* You should have a rough draft of the intended messages you want to address, the ad-libbing is long winded.
* If you don't want to script your thoughts, don't say "umm" so much, it just looks like your completely unprepared. Ad-libbing takes practice, it's a fine line between rambling and expressing your thoughts.
* You need to number your videos in chronological order for your viewers.
* Zooming in and out too fast and swinging the camera around in and out of focus is a no-no.

I'm "probably" interested in a lot of what you have to say in regard to your tests, but I can not get past the lack professionalism in camera shots and the delivery of your data. I get the idea that you guys are "for real" in your testing and opinions of what are happening in the industry, but if you really want to be taken seriously you really need to take a serious look your act. If you clean it up it will gain more attention.

Did we not watch the same video? Perhaps you'd like me to transcribe the entire dialogue.

Hmmm... I remember my days before entering manhood; spent very much the same way, although I was sure of my sexuality.

I love that look on the low-rent Carrot Top's face, how existential. Blue chunk looks like he's in the middle of laying down some serious Shakespearean prose.



Wow, I could sit here all day taking screencaps showing awkward facial expressions whilst giggling like a small child or a PBNation regular but things need doing.

I agree with this. You guys have paintball at heart, and that's what really counts. Your range video, though it proved plenty, was long and well, boring. You guys need an overall concept and theme if you really want to sell what you're doing.
Remember still, everyone's budget is tight these days, so you probably won't get much support, but that doesn't mean nobody is interested.
Keep up the fight!

Hmm...well thought out words...

Have I missed some Lukes Customs videos? Not that it changes the validity of the comments.

What does that have to do with anything? Are you trying to say I'm not entitled to an opinion because I'm not shooting video myself? If so, that ridicules.

Yes, it was "thought out" because it was not meant to hurt anyone's feelings or disrespect what they are trying to build in their endeavors, it was intended to help them. It was not intended to be your typical Internet bashing, if you can't see that, well, what ever.
