i dont think any tactical advice was given. so we should just ignore it and get back to our sad, miserable lives.

Then you need to learn more about ballistics and tactics.

That is nothing more than a vendors promo video and a bad one at that.

At 50ft the demonstrated shot group is over a foot wide.

At 150ft the demonstrated shot group is greater that the flat, hard surfaced silhouette. Worse, not all shots hit. As demonstrated not effective.

Something else to consider, at that range the paintballs velocity is reduced enough to make hits on a soft target (read person wearing loose fitting clothing) will have a low probability of breaking.

As a demonstration of range and accuracy it is not impressive. I can and have produced the same results with both a 68-Carbine/Airtipps car-stock/CA-SB 14"(polished bore) as well as with a Pro-Carbine with Lapco Autospirit from both seated and prone unsupported. I'm a good shot but not a sniper.

Note the the demo was done from effectively a bench supported position. Also note that it was done in open terrain with little to no wind.

I do see a market for the barrel though. Full size Milsim guns. (ie M16, HK91, etc replicas) The longer barrel has a place here, just don't expect superior range and accuracy when the ammunition and muzzle velocities are roughly equal.

noone cares anymore.  this thread is just long and stupid.  i'm tired of seeing it on the first page.  let it effing DIE!!!!!

So you felt a need to make this post...why? It was 3 days dead before you revived it to the top of the page.

I'd rather have an accurate barrel so I can easily hit a guys face at 50 feet.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!11

Your funny
 

What'd I say that was so funny...?

It may be a self inflicted wound...but you really should stop picking at it.   

Just like children, they believed in Santa Clause till they saw mom or dad puttin the presents under the tree, and understood then why everyone made fun of them for believing.

The sniper debate is the same, the children will continue to believe, till they see it is not true, then they will see why we make fun of them.

LIONS AND TIGERS AND BEARS............OH MY
