    .50cal Revolution??

    WTF???...



    Looks like at least two companies have bought into the "50cal" hype (Spyder and Actionvillage.com)

    spyder likes 50 cal cause they can sell it in japan where joules limits means that 68 has to be fired at excessively low velocity.

        A big "whatever". If we ignore it, it will go away. Seriously

        That's coming from a guy who owns several .62cal, .55cal and .50cal markers. I even used to have a .70cal BE gun.

          .50cal what a joke. The bolts and barrels on the 50cal guns look so crazy. A true Pea Shooter.

          I dont know what is happening to standard .68cal paint but maybe they all are trying to sneak in the small balls on us.

          I was playing this weekend and the RPS nightmare paint was matched to slightly smaller than my Lurker Eigen Barrell which is .679! Looks like tiny balls are here.

            I always thought a .70 cal Brass Eagle gun/marker was a standard Brass Eagle gun/marker with their standard amount of quality control. . .

              I recieved the same e-mail aswell, after I read it I clicked unsubscribe. I'm not going to waste money on .50 cal gear, haha.

                reading the subject alone was enough for me to delete it. I have a feeling GI milsim is the real driving force behind the "50 cal revolution"

                and we all know who GI Milsim is I hope, certainly not something I'll ever support.

                    Though I have to admit to a soft spot for spyders. The Fenix was my first marker... and first extensive modding project.

                        Some Spyders were great. I've owned an AMG, a 2000, an LE, an Elite and a Targa. All were exceptional, and all were made.... A long time ago.

                            Hahaha...my very first paintball gun was the Brass Eagle Raptor...then it broke my first time out....then I got an original Spyder Compact and played with it for a couple years before I got my Minimag. Then I sold my Spyder.

                              I still have my spyder from 5 years ago, it looks very different now, but i still love that thing. My RT's broken down more than my spyder, that's the toughest gun i've ever played with, and it cost me 60 bucks.
