I ask that as well just in case the paint companies DO swing in that direction. Whats to stop "pro players" from asking for "better" paint and stopping paint companies from giving them their gargantuan paintballs? I'm sure they wouldnt mind paying that extra 10$ for a game winning edge, and telling other players they're being "non-agg" for crying about it? And worst of all, when rec players begin buying that larger caliber ball and equipment just because the pros do..

When I called and asked them about it they said they didn't care about the caliber just the FPS.

I recall (and someone here can better say than I can) that some pro teams in the 80s-90s used to have custom large paint made for them. IIRC it was in the .70+ range.

The whole push, as far as I can tell, behind .50 was that it's cheaper to make, ship and store. That wouldn't be the case with a larger caliber.
