    Gyroscopic stabilization

    One could duplicate the steadycam technology which use a ceramic gyroscope to get feedback from the camcorder and adjusts accordingly to steady your video. In the same way, could one mount servo correctors for the tube of a mag as a buffer between the gripframe, so kick and the shaking from pulling the trigger, running, etc, could be compensated for, resulting in greater precision in shots.

    whatdya think?

    I think that's retarded.

      would take up too much room, battery power and would be one more thing adding to the neddlessly complicated markers of today...

        too much money for too little of a gain. its just impractical in paintball because of the limited range the gun has, for the millitary, maybe, but what are the chances they walk their triggers/do runs across a space to shoot.. its just the range that the markers are achieving, and also the cost of maintaining and buying such a system. good try though, but remember one thing, money vs gain. if the person feels money-wise its to much, however much it can help by would be meaningless.

          wow those guys were nice, its a very cool idea, but would your marker bend when you lean it to the side? id say a slide with the barrel and paint, that moves backwards while the bolt moves forward, if you weighted it properly there would be zero recoil, reminds me of a nova, but very different

            heey i'm trying to be nice here, i'm just taking a point of view from a market standpoint. i'l agree its an interesting idea, but market-wise, it wouldnt do very well. unless of course he can figure out how to do this as a VERY cheap add on, it wouldnt sell. the idea itself is fine, but again, range is probably not long enough to give much of an improvement.

                    Where did you come up with that, that's crazy. I think mags already shoot the paintball as straight as it's gonig to get.

                      you'd end up with a body mounted gun like in Aliens 2. They were pretty cool, but the marines got eaten anyways.

                          No no no. Its more like this:

                            Sig, you only have 2 gyros on there, you need a 3rd one to stabilize in all 3 dimensions.
