Been asked a million times...gonna get the latest take on it....

Where will paintball technology go from here?

Can it go anywhere?

We have seen the lack of impression made by the new propane marker. There's the Evolt...that hasn't been seen anywhere this side of an advertisement....can't really think of anything else.
Seems like the only thing thats cool to use is what companies remill every year and tell players its the new hotness. Even though its the same stuff thats been available for years.

Aren't paintballs themselves really the limiting factor, given that loaders and hoppers feed them right to the edge of their physical limitation?

Meh...same stupid question..different day.

disposable HPA cartridges?
something better than eyes?
pneumatic trigger is old, but new to many people
mainstream pump play?

just a few ideas that i think might develop

How could pump go mainstream? Dye can't make money off of pumps!

mainstream pump play?

im so with that.

well, the electros have pretty much reached a pinnacle, and where else is therre to go? semi is way far done, and pump seems a mostly untraveled route......

I do not see pump going anywhere 'new' in the next few years. I see more companies making guns for far less than are comparable to many more expensive guns. I see new alloys making guns lighter, and new valve/bolt setups that will make the guns smaller. I see guns that can chrono themselves (or atleast tell you what FPS your shooting at).

I see speedball taking over more and more, and pump getting less and less of a factor. Of course it will still be around however.

There has been a lot of chatter here and a few other sites about pump play growing. I cannot think of a single person that plays with a pump on pay or renegade fields anywhere around. I have never seen a pump at any game I've been to including many scenarios.*

I hear the talk, but just aint seeing the proof in the pudding.


* Allow me to qualify that by saying anyone playing with a good pump or that actually wanted to....as an example, Talon's didn't count.

Force fed loaders that will feed at max rate at any angle? Warps don't exactly count...

"Practical" and "compact" fully integrated loaders and air systems.

Increased efficiency.

Integrated video and 2 way communications.

lighter more compact guns, with digital read outs, maybe even pong personally Id love brick in my trigger frame

lets put a phone in the grip frame! music, games, phone, camera and a marker all in one

Hey agd should team up with Itunes to come up with the Igrip, it can be like a shuffle with tiny speakers!!

no takers?!

o well

all I want is brick or tetris

I really think that until new batteries come out, the electric(completely) marker will never take hold because it will be too bulky and ugly. Once someone figures out how to charge our guns while we play with them, so we only need small rechargable 9v's to be our power supply, I think we could do away with air tanks. I mean, air tanks are cool, but having 4500 psi a foot away from my head(even if its safe) is something I could do away with.

Oh, and paintballs for laser pointers!

roamingstorm- Me and a friend were joking about things like that. Our best idea was one of those tiny game boy advances, lol. I'm still trying to figure out why my matrix has a thermometer in the lcd.
