Hello Fellow Tankers! I just purchased a couple 0.50" Paintball markers. I want to install them on my Pz.IV family of tanks (0.5" is a 76.2mm scale size, Pz.IVH had a 75 mm). But I heard that the ball being so small has a better ballistic than the 0.68"? However, the weight of the 0.68" is 3.2g compared to the 1.2g of the 0.50". Effective range of both sizes are around 150 ft (45 m). Another advantage/disadvantage of the 0.50" caliber might be the thickness of its soft gel shell, which would be harder to break inside a barrel, but maybe too hard to break on impact against a foe (less kinetic energy on impact?). Impact are also harder to notice... but you can put a lot more balls in your tray! (-;
Searching on the Internet, I find a LOT of opinions on pros/cons of the 0.50" size. But not any facts. I'd like to see realistic ballistics on comparable gun platforms. Obviously, I'm going to try myself. I just have to swap the guns on the Tiger. I have several questions: 1. Paul Pitelli tried one of those markers in the past. Are those results posted? 2. I asked Steve about the rules on 0.50" size, and it does not seem that there are limitations on paintball sizes? BTW, I have updated FOA website with some sub-components of the FOA "Combat" Tiger. Let me know what you think [hint: advertizement plug] http://www.fieldofarmortanks.com/product_p/foa-mpss3.htm http://www.fieldofarmortanks.com/product_p/foa-ttes2.htm http://www.fieldofarmortanks.com/product_p/foa-ttms2.htm Cheers from snowy Utah, Loic, the "White Knight Slacker" http://www.fieldofarmortanks.com -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
