Paintball

[DSA]

I wish I had access to two red radar chronographs. I have been reading a lot of threads related to theory of FS vs regular paintballs. So this go me to thinking why hasn't some one lined up two radar chronos 10- 50 ft apart (one in front of the other) and test fired each to see if the FS round holds velocity better than a regular paintball. We know as the FS or PB past over the first chronology they would be equal bit what happens 50ft down the trajectory path? Would it hold it's velocity better or be the same?

Any testers out there?

That's the test that enlightenment, I mean cockerpunk was claiming to be doing next.

This exact thing has in fact been tested. But I can't remember where I saw the data.

The first strike rounds decelerate at a lower rate than regular paintballs. Is what the data found. The fact that CP want's to test that very thing is no surprise. He's not big on looking at other people's data...

It's on here, can't remember where. The data was very interesting though, the loss of velocity as the FS round travel is negligible.

yes, this was done. i saw the data too. i think it was posted on the spec ops forum. a link to it was posted on here but i forgot which thread it was in.

Because the two radars interfere. Need to use "Shooting Chronys" with eyes, not radar. And... as mentioned... it's been done.

Boomer14 did the test at a further range over on SpecOps. I don't have the link but have seen the data.
