On a serious note. What will paintball be like in 5 years time?

[dextrus]

It just came across my mind that what will paintball be like in 5 years time??

Since all this 50.cal stuff coming in. New guns? New kit only loaders or more?

Playing of the sport weather it will develop or not?

The standard of tournements?

These are the questions that come through my mind....

Ah, a thread topic as old as time. This thread covers your 5 year period of speculation so consider these answers as well.

We'll always have new guns and kit + loaders and other additions.

I've not been playing long but I've seen so many videos on paintball its unreal, from looking at what they had then to now not a lot has changed but you can tell its made the game more competitive, only thing is with 50cal stuff I think they will have to add more balls to one batch so 4k ? instead of 2k and then maybe lower the price a little on the newer paint to try and tempt players to buy 50cal stuff. or make the .68cal cheaper when 50 does make a change to us.

It will just gradually get better, sites will have a lot more to offer, and with people like Rich doing the thread about what could be changed that's kinda what your talking about people helping him make the site to suit a player like yourself.
