Tiberius Sniper Rounds, Info from TK

[Beemer]

Wow!!! you can actually HEAR the rounds in the outdoor 300ft video! I worry about the pain up close though.....that would hurt

It will hurt no more then a BALL. They do make a COOL sound flying by. Kinda of like a swoosh whistle thing. Funny you mention that sound thing. The only difference is this round holds velocity down range. See the graph.

When we were done screwing around with me as a live target, Gary and I went down range under cover to check the sound thing. I think it was because John said something about the sound and Gary said he missed it, so did I being the target. That was at two hundred feet.[still about 175FPS] We got behind cover[dumpster] While Mike put some rounds down range. After the safe call Gary and I came out of cover with the big ya that sounded cool.

Its still Paintball only the range has changed.

If you're worried about the PAIN.tball, you're in the wrong sport...

More than likely I'll pick some of these up and "muzzle load" em once in awhile...

Better yet DM I will pick some up just to shoot you with from really far away.

[Ninjeff]

I suppose what worries me is the tail end part adding a more "forced" point of impact. If you watch teh video you can hear the plastic peices hitting the floor....well, something is hitting the floor, i assume its the tail part of the round. I understand the point of it being the same weight at the same velocity, but much like how a bouce hurts more than a break, i worry that the plastic tail part will add a bit of zing to the hit.

Am i worried about it? No, not really. ive been playing a long time, and i ref, so if the sting of a paintball was something i worried about i think i'd find a new hobby. That being said, people and players will complain about anything so.....


No one answered the cost thing either...or, if they did i missed it. Is it $8 for an 8 round tube? That seems to be what i read, but it seems a bit steep. I was hoping more like $3 or 4/tube.

Still, i'll pick up a few to try. I suppose the higher cost just means people will actually try to be accurate with these and not use them willy nilly.

The sound was awesome though.

BRING IT ON MAN!!!!!

Bring the pistolas for the Friday night pistol match and I'll pay for the paint... Hell we should do "team" match and you and I can take on 2 other "victims"



I'm down for it!!! It's actually got me thinking about picking up some Tiberius goods, but meh.... wouldn't use em enough me thinks.

Not to mention you aren't one to stand back and "plink" at people if I recall.

i dropped my tube of 8 on the the same rig we used for paint brittleness testing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRUZhWgk4MY

basically 8 foot drop onto oak, and i got 1 bounce. the sample size is really not large enough to do a great comparison with the other paintball we dropped, but it does show that is does break to an effective level.

bryce used his 8 in a 75 foot accuracy test - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fecvr_HWdBM

we are planning a dual chrono test, a high speed video test, and a true accuracy test at range (125 feet?)

[MANN]

wow. good test. I expected more accuracy than was shown. It would be nice to get your hands on a few hundred.

It looks like the advantage will come with distance. where normal paintballs drop off after ~ 100 ft these will continue. As for accuracy tho it seems about the same (up to ~80 ft)

yeah we need more. they might be coming on to techpb as a sponsor so hopefully we will get a bunch of them to test. i really want to do a finnish the brittleness test, and the high speed will be awesome looking.

[Sundown]

yeah nice tests, I will be looking forward to seeing more tests.
And also looking forward to seeing how we can use these in a normal marker without taking out the barrel each time

ramrod?

[michbich]

muzzle loaders ftw! lol

[DevilMan]

ramrod?

Yeah just wonder how many people will ram it hard enough to break it...



I've got some ideas in mind, but nothing that will take place anytime soon.

so now we need to find a system to load these.

1 make a plug for the breech.
2 make a screw in breech (will screw in where the barrel goes), and have a spot for the barrel to screw into
3 make some sort of clip to feed through it.

somebody should see if they work in a smg68.

[Smoothice]

All they need to do is package them differently.

Instead of like this

{ { { { { { { {

They need to be like this

}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}


Then you just stick the tube into your vert feed marker with the rounds facing the right direction.

Gravity will take care of the rest.
