Sorry to dig up an old thread, but i would be interested to know if anyone has done a study/comparison on the weights of different brand paintballs.  The paintball's weight could prove a great advantage in range if the difference in weight is significant enough.  For example.... if you shot two different brands of paintball at the same velocity, one of which was 25% heavier than the other.  the heavier paintball would have a noticeable advantage in range.  Has anyone compared these values before?

If I can remember right, I've come across something like that on the web before. I think it was at some great length though, so I blew it off. Haven't seen any kind of studies like that here though.

They have already solved the distance problem a while ago, just take a look at this.

I think Apex or Flatline.  A reliable resource told me that the Undetow bolt worked as well.
