"Mythbusting" in paintball. What's your "favorite" one?

the spirit of electro doesn't like you, simple as that. The gnomes in your batteries have been recalled and reemployed elsewhere. Just go back to mech and trigger jobs and be content in the simple life . Maybe then the gnomes will be returned to your 9v's and your electros .

In fact, why not take it to the next level? Knowing AGD, they might be interested in financing a ballistics test from a *real* facility. Companies could donate one of their markers to use, and then a universal set of regs, barrels, tanks, paint, hoppers, and whatever else you could think of would be installed on the guns. From there, the guns would be shipped to a facility that measures real guns and their characteristics and the tests would be done. No more whining, no more illegitmate *most accurate* (except for the one that was), *fastest shooting*, etc.

If you were a marker maker that had hyped a product, and built a strong market share based on hype, would you ever dare put your marker next to a Spyder in a controlled enviroment. Face it, even though I shoot a mag, I know full well that my game would not suffer irrevocable damage if I picked up a Piranha off the wall.

Edit: Ahh, I just realized what I said... let me clarify. AGD has tested their products, I have faith that everything in my mag meets a certain tolerance level that TK has deemed acceptable, that is why I shoot a mag. However, if you were SP, AKA, etc. and depended on each year saying "wow, we put this new screw in our marker, its better than the last" in order to sell guns and keep new gun sales flowing - would you dare let anyone prove that the 03 Shocker, teh Matrix, the 03 viking, adn all other guns made now and in the forseeable future, will be influenced by the same principles of fluid dynamics and we have really begun to reach the upper limits of accuracy and usabe speed (debatable) - there is only so much mroe you can push for - uber efficiency so I can use a 12G nitro cartridge would be cool

Not really a myth but,

See which gun has the longer range, a flatlined Model 98 or a Z-Bodied Mag

[Garrum]

Very good point Lohman. Too many truths would be revealed in that kind of standardized test. Hype and 'killa' annodizing wouldn't save them.

Please bust this myth.

Thats what everybody tells me, but I can take the hopper off, put 4 balls in the feed and one will chop

I guess, the only other explanation is Sir Brass' gnome theory.

That cheating is acceptable in paintball.

Your gun runs at 800 psi, and mine runs at 400 psi. So I get 2 times as many shots per fill than you do. No? Then, 1 and a .... no? more than you? no!? HOW CAN THIS BE? ***Explodes***
