Atomic Paintball Reviews

So as I was traveling the interwebs the other day I came across a great video which brought up memories of early Paintball.  (Pump Sheridan 38 cal Pistol)  Its a video I found on YouTube which compares the two calibers accuracy and such.  Things are slightly skewed as we are not shown chrono calibration, and two different markers are used.

So what does this all mean?

Well first off, the difference between the two different caliber paintballs is surface area and weight. In a nutshell the .68 cal will travel longer and break further out then the .50 cal.  Both paintballs are affected by wind, but with the sheer weight difference between the two paintballs (~3g vs ~1.2g) the smaller paintball would be more susceptible to wind conditions.  Another factor that concerns me is the sheer paint volume difference.  The spats created by the 50 caliber paintballs are significantly smaller then that of the 68.  This would be a concern with some players as not everyone is honest about their hits on a field.

So you be the judge, what do you think?  .50 cal going to be the next transition for paintball?  Post your comments and thoughts below!

Pure Energy 72/3000psi tank;  The perfect introduction to HPA for your marker.  If you play a bit of bush ball or play at fields where you need to bring your own air, this tank may be a good fit for you.  On average you should see around 850-1000 shots per tank depending on your marker.  This tank is smaller then that of the fiber wrapped 4500psi tanks, however depending on whats around you, it might be hard to find somewhere that can properly fill a 4500 tank.  Why waste money if you cant fill them to capacity?  The only real downside to this tank is the weight of it.  Since it is constructed from steel,  it is heavier then its fiber counterpart.
