I played paintball the most from 2005-2008 and recently I looked up prices, and I was shocked to see prices have not gone up pretty much at all. Paintball seems to be the one thing that hasn’t been touched by inflation. Although I’m not interested in playing right now because I have young kids, it’s nice to see.

I always liked 12.5. It was steady, not crazy fast but could throw a steady lane. I've been balling competitive since 98 when World Cup was in the woods behind Old Town lol. I hate that guys just sit on lanes in case someone "might" try to run through it mid-game. I think the higher rate of fire would actually cut down on this due to the amount of paint you can carry. You'd chew up paint so fast at 12.5-15bps that you couldn't throw that lane unless it was to facilitate a teammate move etc. Just my $.02. Either way, I think 10.5 blows.

Faster rate of fire helps define lanes so you can see what you're shooting at (spectators) and hold proper containment lanes. This also makes bump timing more crucial and possible instead of just guessing if your stepping out into a 8 pbs stream. There are many other advantages to player sponsorship programs and possible revenue intake for manufactures. Be cool to see 15 bps come back.

Paintball was at its peak when 15BPS was going. There was a gun and hopper arms race which we are reaping the benefits now. Not sure if he knows what he is talking about when it comes to 15PBS and the guns. Most of those guns would perform close to now if you limited them to 10PBS with the exception of the bolt speed, I'll touch on that later. The performance had a lot to do with regs having a hard time keeping up with high rate of fire and the paint breakage was also due to the rate of fire. They have also slowed the bolt travel speed down since those days to shoot more consistently and not break paint. try and shoot a modern gun at 15BPS or higher. Most high end guns can't go much past 13BPS, seriously try it. Semi Auto uncapped is where it was at. We just made a knee jerk reaction and corrected the cheater boards issue incorrectly. With Bluetooth tech we can verify board code and modes now. For the pros to D2 or 3 this would not be and issue to upgrade boards or guns. Gun tech and the sport have stagnated, this would reenergize it and maybe get some people buying new gear, which the manufactures desperately need.

limited paint should be a thing. Check in with an empty hopper (checked by ref at chrono/start box), and 5 pods (1 to load hopper, 4 on the pack). No extended pods (standard 120). This helps teams budget paint cost (assuming expending all paint and playing the maximum number of matches). Also helps level the playing field... a price/salary cap of sorts. Well funded teams can't just win by volume of paint in the air. Its no doubt a team that comes on with 8 pods a person would likely beat a team with 4 pods a person.

Cool idea except, you know, capitalism. There’s no way an industry that overwhelmingly relies on the sale of paintballs is going to encourage shooting less paintballs.

I Started playing in 2004, I played national events at 15bps 13.3bps 12.5 bps and 10.5bps. The best rate of fire by far was 12.5 that is what it should be. 15 was stupid, 13.3 didn’t make a difference from 12.5 but you used more paint and it was more expensive. 10.5 is too slow.

I may like my fast markers, but? We do NOT need Rentals getting striped up with absurd ROF's. That lost us a lot of potential great players in the 00's because they got roped up by an AGGlet who had no chill and they got throughly discouraged to come back and play again. Treat newbies well, they may become regulars, and a regular my become the next pro.

Could care less about faster pbs just means more wasted paint. Shit cost 60-80 a case fuck wasting more of it haha.

DISAGREE.. 15bps was the best.. not as many bunkers, smaller bunkers, and wider gaps makes it way harder with the 15 to even stay in one place.. I bet games would be faster, and only the more athletic teams would win.

Great solution. Have the game have dedicated positions. Back player, snake player, dorrito player and 2 gunners. Back player 15 balls a second, can't move up unless they're only 2 players left on their team. Snake and dorrito have to attempt to get in both off thr break, limited 8 balls a second. Gunners free to move anywhere between snake and dorritos 10.5 balls a second. Snake player has stay in smake until they get past 50, then free go anywhere, same with dorrito and once any player passes 50, they're free to go anywhere on opposing side
