Razor: I haven't figured the market or advertising yet. I am working on fabricators and assemblers (manafacturers). I chose .50 cal paintball because it is smaller than the normal 68 cal everyday use. The reason behind the 50cal is because I can get more balls loaded than the 68cal. 6mm would be Ideal but they do not splatter very easly. I had no problem finding a 50 cal. It was at my local paintball store and I'm in the armpit of the states. I may look into manafactureing a 20 or 25 cal paintball eventually. I will need them for the shotgun paintball as well. Further note: For the pressure mines I am designing, I will use the standard 68cal ball. Brandon : I think for the rec and scenario players there is a demand as long as it's affordable, you'll have to find your niche for buyers. Is there a particular reason you decided on .50 cal? That may be a deterent since it is not a typical size paintball and would need to be special ordered. : Razor : : I'm glad my assumption was right and thank you for your input. I did a little testing with them and found the same results. I've chosen to use 50 caliber paintballs. The bad part is the claymore mine will only shoot 24 balls. Im in the designing stage and moving to the molding stage. : : Do you think there would be a demand for a trip wire claymore mine? : : : : I've messed around with them alittle bit and they are extremely hard to get to break, they must hit a hard surface like a wall, wood, mask etc. I don't think they would work to well for your application since they more than likely wouldn't break. Good luck. : : : Razor : : : : : : : Anyone- : : : : I'm in the middle of designing and engineering a paintball claymore mine. It will shoot (Correction Added (36) .50 caliber paintballs at one trip time. This model will only be triggered by tripwire. (No More Details for now) Electronic will come later along with a few other designs paintball gammers need to be more realistic in time of war. : : : : The question I have for anyone is regarding the 6mm (air soft) paintballs. Do they break open the same as a .50 caliber on impact or are they harder to break. I could fit roughly 200 in one mine but if they do not break on impact, then the mine is useless. Anyone have any experience with these .6mm paintballs? : : : : Any input will be greatly appreciated. : : : : Thnak you. : : : : Wheelchairman : : : :
