..and here is why we see the RT mag was far superior to the competition. I would love to see it vs some newer guns.

Hey Menace, maybe we should steal Carl Jr's Virtue chrono and put some strings over it and compare a few different guns? We have enough

Okay... found the larger versions of the paintball spin data that Bunny has re-uploaded. The larger versions are in .tif format, and I have uploaded them in the following location:

Please download them and use them.

I have some old analyses of the spin data indicating that spin alone could not explain the deviations from straight-line flight seen in the strobe images. It's in a format that my current computer can no longer read (gotta love 15-year-old file formats!). Working on converting it to something more modern.
