Another Manufacturer Signs on to .50 Caliber

Thursday November 5, 2009

Whether .50 caliber paintballs and paintball gear will catch on remains to be seen, but another manufacturer has bought into the idea.  Kingman has announced the Spyder .50 line of equipment.  It appears that they're planning on releasing similar guns to what they already have, just in the .50 caliber format.

I'm still undecided whether I think the .50 caliber format is a good idea for paintball or if its just an attempt by manufacturers to get existing players to spend more money on new equipment.  Either way, I'm very interested to see which other companies announce new .50 caliber gear and how much support is given to the smaller format.

.50 caliber has already been shown and fairly proven to be just a scam dreamed up by manufacturers just trying to cash in on unsuspecting players.

This guy has been doing a stand up job debunking most of the 50 caliber lies.

Check him out, and maybe report on that.

So what’s wrong with .68? Why go to .50? I think it’s a stupid idea.
