weird out there paint ball guns

First one is highly unfeasible. It would require not only a new Q-loader, but a new calibre of paint that no company would make.

Second is very possible.

I wish someone would make this gun, I thought of it awhile back. Its loosly based on the spoolvalve.



^^^^ click it, its animated.

like I said just fun. probably not going to work but you know that would be kind of cool... 75 cal BIG BORE... good for tanks

that is nice

 

Um I dont know....

how is the civil war game played? does each player line up in rows or what?

you can make it like that if you want...  but i don't see why.

pretty much it's an even more hardcore version of stock class.

While I can't think of an advantage that larger calibre paint would have, I can think of one major disadvantage: heavier projectiles.

I used the calculator at this location for determining the volume of various sized paintballs. I found the information on kinetic energy here. The information about paintball velocities and injuries came from an interview with Bud Orr that was published in The Complete Guide to Paintball.

• A .68 paintball holds approximately 1.317 cu. in. of paint.
• A .75 paintball would hold approximately 1.767 cu. in. of paint.
• The larger paintball would hold approximately 0.45 more cu. in. of paint.
• This additional weight would affect the kinetic energy of the projectile. (Kinetic energy is defined as the energy a body possesses as a result of its motion. The formula for determining kinetic energy is energy = 1/2 of mass X velocity squared.)
• Increasing the mass of the paintball by approximately 34% would lead to a corresponding increase in how hard the paintball hit.
• Using the formula above, the kinetic energy of a .68 paintball fired at 300 fps is 59265. (Please note these energy numbers are for comparison only, I was forced to use volume in the calculation as opposed to mass because I do not have anything accurate enough to weigh a standard paintball with on hand.)
• Using the same formula, the result for a .75 paintball is 79515.
• The result shows that a .75 paintball fired at the same velocities as a .68 paintball would hit 34% harder.
• It only requries 12 pounds of energy to break the bones in the human hand. Paintballs are limited to 300 fps because this keeps the kinetic energy of the paintballs below that injury threshold.
• With all this in mind, larger caliber paintballs would require additional saftey precautions such as stronger masks, lower velocities, or more protective gear.

Why would it go further?

DeTrevni wrote: Momentum I guess. If I'm not mistaken, a larger mass traveling at 280 fps will go further than the smaller mass. Of course, the drag will be a factor, but I don't know by how much. This is all in theory.

But the large mass, traveling at the same speed as the smaller mass, would possess more kinetic energy which would create a safety hazard for other players.

Unfortunately that is negated by Mack's point.

But I see what you are saying, and it is true.
