New markers, new loaders, new barrels... the list goes on. I wouldn't worry about it too much right now guys. If this ever happens, it will happen over quite a period of time and will be led by consumer demand, nothing more.

I'd say it is quite categorically stated it will happen. Whether or not people embrace it is a different story but I'm looking forward to it personally. Different doesn't mean bad I say.

anyone got pics to compare the size difference of the 2 balls (haha) ?
could current loaders accept them ?
barrels i would imagine not but then again inserts (like the freak inserts) could be introduced. Same goes for the breech i suppose, each company makes a .5 breech sleeve for any pre 2011 markers say and from then on they make them .5

Dont know if this would be good business sense but maybe marker manufacturers could just design a new main body for there particular marker and it would just a case of removing the old and fitting the new sized main body....:confused:

Personally i'm in favour of the change,its about time the paintballs got smaller and more accurate
