What happens when we perfect the paintball marker?

[MagMan5446]

It's inevitable. At some point there will be a perfected paintball gun with all the features (no chops, easy on paint etc etc) included.

What'll happen?

everyone will get that gun.....then somebody will put flashy lights and a toaster oven in it.... and the cycle will continue.

The paintball marker will always be "evolving" so to speak. As perfect and flawless as any future, or present marker may be, there will always be someone, somewhere, who will want something more, and who will drive the machine onward.

The "toaster" comment is unrealistic, but so true. No matter how good something is, its never perfect. There's always that guy who wants to eat a nice toasted English Muffin as he bunkers you at the '50

First, it will never happen. Everyone will always try to "improve" on the gun. But the company who makes it has to make a choice:1) make it low cost, but good and help the sport alot or 2)over capitilize and not help the sport

if 1 the sport will boom, prosper, and lead on to many other things, if 2 the sport will just be as it is

That would be great. Then people would stop posturing in the staging area, showing off their shiney new toys and stinking play, already!

It will never happen

There is a slim to nill that this will ever happen. There will always be something thta is new for paintball. Competition between companies will not end the creation of a newer or better marker. Even if they do creat the perfect marker people will not always accept that. Some people will not really want that. Look at the cocker it is not a perfect marker right out of the box. It takes time and money to get it to its peak. There is a lot of tweeking going on to to do that. Then there is the angel or e-mag which are ready out of the the box. They still will have problems at one time or another. When they have moving parts or even wire connections that still can fail or break.

Just a thought

A better question to ask is... What will happen when we create the perfect paintball? Now that would really level the playing field!

the paintball marker will not be perfected till it has a tv screen in it and the marker talks to you and can marrie you

Dye will get ahold of it and make a dozen different styles of it.

It already happened yo!

The Phantom VSC! It is perfect!!!

It never breaks down... never chops... with good paint never barrel breaks... never out-shoots the feeder...

need I say more???

Keep your Giga-pets, I'll keep my Phantom!

The paintballs themselves will have to improve. They are too big and are too adversly affected by wind/temperature/humidity etc. The paintballs are the biggest hinderence in our sport. Thats just what I think.

i think the perfect paintball gun should be able to make some pie
