this is not necessarily true. . .my favorite brand is PMI/RPS super swerl (walmart brand); yet it's medium/large bore and quite heavy . . .although it is accurate to within engagement distances (no more than 75') it has a noticeable drop @ around 75' that really hits hard. this means that it is not a good sniper round but a great take down round as I've seen it take a 200 lb. man to his knees. it's also not as accurate as say PMI Prenium/RPS advantage. but hey at least it lets your opponent know he/she is hit--bounces? hell it'll beat the sh!t out of the impact area regarless of a break.

Contrary to this "magnum-round" (as I like to call it) the industry standard is .68 --history has had them at .60 and .62 at one point but this is the best and the most at what they can make safely. Marbs is oddly enough a Straight Medium-Bore paint and relatively light. . .which means it should be less accurate. . .yet I find it to be THE BEST!--although it bounces more than the Super Swerl?. . . Diablo and everything else can suck it ;)
