Just because I didn't want to make a new thread, has anyone ever had a shaped, conical paintball?

Just wondering as I would like to do some tests (pump cocker converted into lever action) on them. Pity they'd be so expensive if they do infact exist.

pretty sure if you wouldve read toms tech tips in the llink above it says he made on for the army and it was more accurate.

I'm asking if anyone has seen them about comercially.

And yes, I read the tips.

[maxama10]

ahha sorry , I have no idea about that one. Never seen em or heard of em personally.

If you want an expensive barrel kit, get a Titanium Longbow. At least you get a cool exotic materal that way.

Are those the ones that spark sometimes?

Those are cool.

[magman007]

all titanium barrels spark at times.

[Hexis]

Yep, it's a Ti thing. Mine has on a number of occasions. I have heard reports of Ti Boomys doing the same.

Im guessing you read your reviews on pbreview, I dont listen to 9/10 of the BS said on there, I just go on there now to have a laugh or two during study hall. Well anyways for the price of a hammerhead, your buying 60 dollars worth of hype. For around 40 bucks you can buy a JJ ceramic, best barrel for the buck or a Lapco BigShot. But if you are looking for the best quality try Boomsticks or Ultralights.

Incorrect. Spinning a three gram, liquid filled, .68 projectile will do nothing for accuracy. Countless muskets using ball ammo have proven that rifling is in fact effective at adding accuracy to the right projectile - just not a paintball.

One hundred percent correct. I wansnt trying to say that the gain would be huge, just that a conically or eliptically shaped paintball would be _slightly_ more accurate if it was spun through it's flight.

Without even getting into a paintball rifling discussion (It doesn't help!)... I think it's hilarious that the "rifled" portion of a two-piece Hammerhead has a larger internal diameter than the control bore - which I don't ever see anybody mentioning. How the heck is that supposed to work?

Shhhh.... we don't talk about logic like that here...

[thefool]

have one for my phantom. ITs great. Looks really cool when its clean casue you can see the rifling. doubt it does anything more than a regular tube, but i like it. looks cool too.

baically get what you like, you wont go wrong with a hammerhead, but its not much better than anything else either.

Wasn't there a big thread discussing the hammerhead system and rifling effects on a paintball a while back?

Yeh - it went like this

Group A: Put several scientific reasons why rifling in a hammerhead does not work

Group B: "I own one and it does, its better than anything else"

And then it went on like that for several pages.
