Madpaintball 2010 & 0.50 cal paintballs

It has been a long break, I have gotten some reports of the Madpaintball 2010 tournament at RAF Cosford, Wolverhampton. The winning team turned out to LufBru Legions, beating previous champions Kaizoku (Southampton - won 2nd place). I think those who played had a great time, but I wonder how it fared compared to previous tournaments. I say this coz' I have not seen any players with their own markers though many seem to have their own paintball jerseys and also masks. Well, send me a photo and video to prove me otherwise. I will posting some photos I got from LufBru tomorrow. 

What's new in paintball ? 


Apparently Kingman has come out with a new generation of paintballs starting this year, a smaller one. A 0.50 caliber (standard ones are 0.68) Check below: 

WHAT ARE SOME ADVANTAGES OF SPYDER .50 CALIBER
Spyder .50 Caliber Paintball is all new for 2010 featuring a smaller than standard ammunition which means greater accuracy and efficiency, less mess, less impact and less cost for the consumer.

This new .50 Caliber marker is extremely air efficient, light and compact while retaining all of the performance benefits of .68 Caliber paintball including range, accuracy and marking characteristics.
The highly air efficient Patent Pending “EKO™” Valve System is capable of up to 3,500 shots from a 20 OZ. and up to 2,000 shots from a 12 OZ. CO2 tank, in contrast to a .68 Caliber marker which averages 800 shots from a 20 OZ. and 600 shots from a 12 OZ. tank. With the low recoil of the marker it is easier to maintain a more accurate flight path capable of placing your shots within a tight grouping. Since the paintball has less mass the energy carried during impact even at 300 feet per second is tolerable and less likely to cause excessive bruising of the skin. Impact energy at 300 feet per second is rated at approximately 5 joules compared to 13 joules from a .68 Caliber paintball fired at the same velocity.
