"Redemption" paint was measuring at .689 and .691 at the recent NXL event.  Players were having to overbore.

We just learned today that Valken has introduced a larger bore - actual .68 caliber, paintball.

The story was on Facebook, following a poll of players asking what they were looking for.  Apparently big bore paint won the poll.

Based on physics alone, a larger ball has the potential (shooter's skill counts too) to travel farther and be more accurate (when we say "more accurate", we're talking paintball measurements, where a 100th of a percent can make a difference).

Kudos to Valken for putting their customer's first and responding to the marketplace.

I think I'm going to have to break out my Grey Ghost...and I can use my favorite J&J all brass, straight-rifled barrel again on my Automag!

I've not seen anything on theire website yet, but this story has been confirmed at the top.
