I liked the part where you aimed down the sights and showed us the impacts of the first strike rounds on a target at a distance of more that 150ft, then 300ft, followed by 400ft. This channel is definitely worth watching again and subscribing to.
where I live in the us a box of normal paint, 2 thousand balls is ~$50, cheapest fsr's I can find are around 33 cents per round, so would be $660 here to buy 2k of them. And if you're paying that much more than me for paintballs, you'd be spending more like 1200 for a case haha.
But you soot sooooo much less paint. You physically can’t shoot as much paint, it’s loaded into mags and need to be changed every 8-10-20-25-30 rounds. Or you can just dump pods into an electro while banging off 1,000+ balls per minute. And it’s way more accurate, so less shooting due to throwing away the “accuracy by volume” technique.
what does this have to do with anything? You can play paintball at the field, and then go to the range with the 9mm. You dont have to choose one or the other.
@@KiLLJOY1056 Are you saying I don't have to throw the AirSoft and PaintBall away? I can keep them and switch between them? My comment was to say in some cases the paintball and airsoft in some cases cost more than the real thing. Just something I taught my children when they were growing up.
@@ccrkicksass00123 My point was that 9mm cost less than that paintball ammo. 22 cents would be even worse in this case. Now keep in mind between now and spring it's about to be hard to find again.
Fields don't use them because they aren't biodegradable. They claim they are photo-degradable, which means in direct sunlight they will degrade into microplastics.
@@xenn4985 From Wikipedia, "Microplastics are fragments of any type of plastic less than 5 mm (0.20 in) in length". As I'm sure anyone who has watched the news in the last 5 years knows, microplastics are now found everywhere on earth including in fetal blood, which is worrying. We don't have full studies on the health effects, but I've yet to read an article on plastic exposure improving anyone's health. FS rounds are made of Polystyrene, which photo-degrades into smaller bits of polysteyrene, which get into the water table. It can take between 500 and 1 million years to degrade into a molecule that can be broken down further by biological processes. Compostable plastic is most commonly Polylactic Acid (PLA). You may know lactic acid as the byproduct that causes muscle pain after exercise. PLA is a natural chemical that is consumed by bacteria in the soil. Under ideal conditions it will biodegrade in a few months. On a paintball field they're most likely to stick around longer, but it doesn't matter because when they degrade they aren't going to degrade into anything toxic.
Similar ammunition designed for the FN 303 system of firearms. I was introduced to these when I went through my non lethal weapons instructor course. Here’s what they taught us about them. Emerson College student Victoria Snelgrove was celebrating the Red Sox win over the Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series when a Boston police officer shot her in the eye with a weapon known as the FN303, a "less-than-lethal" gun, killing her. More than two years after Snelgrove was killed, Boston police destroyed the FN303 guns, saying they would turn them into sewer caps.
Yeah, paintballs are designed the way they are so that they will break making their impact velocity much lower. I don't know if you've ever been hit with a paintball. That didn't break but it hurts way worse than the ones that break. And it just appears to me as though that structure on the rear end might not prevent the ball from breaking. But it's going to add to the impact velocity
What if instead of the fins, we make it a closed cylinder and have some sort of combustible powder that can launch the paintball much farther, accurate, and powerful when ignited.
I think the plastic fins also rip up netting on boundaries also mainly closer distances. Kinda sucks they have less paint in them but people mostly will call the hit when they feel the first strike pain😂
I'm honestly surprised it's taken this long for paintball rounds to upgrade. There's a reason we don't use lead spherical balls as ammunition nowadays. It's inaccurate as all hell.
My favorite part is i saw another video with these priced at $120 for 300 which prices them out to be $2.50 per paintball What the kicker of it is you can get 450 rounds of 5.7x28 for $250 or $1.80 per round meaning that your paintball costs more than one of the more expensive pistol rounds that exist in modern day.
I'd like to see the accuracy at a distance. I ran a flatline barrel for my Tipman marker more than 20 years ago. The accuracy and distance was a major upgrade. I can't imagine the technology not getting better for your standard paintball round. I see the other paint projectile being superior, but by how much?
The best part of the video was the accuracy demo of him holding the gun sideways and shooting. I just wish they woulda filmed it hitting the target instead of coming outta the gun…. 🙄Great video guys!
Way more accuracy in a sport where everyone sprays and prays. I've literally never seen a paintball guy not just full auto spraying at literally everything.
Accuracy at the cost of ammo space. And every paint ball thing I see now a days they just spray whole tanks in a direction. No one aims its just mass volume dumps. So this product will unfortunately fail hard.
