Man, I am split on this one. On one hand I would love to have cheaper paint, but on the other having to buy all new stuff? I can only hope that 50 and 68 cal are used side by side for a long while before 68 is totally phased out.

indeed, a new bolt n new barrels would have to be made for automags i'd think, n id rather not have to let go of my mags for sucha reason.

Hey Beemer... what does ASTM say about 50 cal?

Inquiring minds, like mine, want to know...

[Reiner]

How do you think new players will react to twice as many paintballs in the air? Or does everyone think players will just spend half as much on paint instead of shooting twice as much as history has shown us happens when prices drop? Will they be thrilled?

I not only dislike this change, I will actively boycott any company that tries to force it on me.

i think its not going to change much, whole companies would have to be changed for a single thing and paintball is has been and will be "hindered" to the 68 because of one major thing, it would be far to costly to make EVERY ONE to change just for a new idea.

i think however lower price changes would be nice but i cant see why they wouldnt try to make a cheaper 68 round instead of a 50 cal round, in my opinion this could go two ways, it could catch on in the speedball area and then the first strike rounds might get a grip in the woods then as well, but i really think its not going to spread to the whole community because its to groundbreaking, maybe if one or two companies choose to pay royalties for the 50cal maker scene from sp but i doubt it highly.

Blasphemy! There is no room for facts in paintball. That is crazy talk, sir - crazy talk!

[Lohman446]

LOL - funny, how many people like stupid little cosmetic changes and then when something that will allow there style of play to be better (including accuracy + more paint volume) they panic. Come on, go to your local field, see just how many markers are more than 3 years old anyways. Most people will phase this in rather quickly if some "agg" team supports it.

My balls are small enough already, thank you very much.

hmmm, where did I put that Tippman SMG and are the clips still usable?
