50 caliber paintballs are almost certainly doomed to the same fate as .43 caliber markers. Few people will want to buy new markers considering they cost th same as .68 markers right now and the paint is not that much cheaper and is not readily available. They also do not travel as far, which means they wold be constricted to Speedball games if they did become popular. Unless they can manufacture EXTREMELY cheap paint and markers for .50 calibler, the .68 will stay as the base of all paintball products.

Well, there really isn't an answer to how popular paintball is. I play myself and it is one of the fastest growing extreme sports today! Chances are if you live i an urban area, than there will probably be a field or store less that an hour away. It already is huge, and I think someday there will even be Olympic paintball...

When did paintball become a sport in the US?
Well that's hard to say. The first paintball game was played in 1981 by 12 competitors using Nel-Spot 007 pistols made for tree and cattle marking. However I think it first became a sport when the National Professional Paintball League (NPPL) was founded in 1992-1993.
Is airsoft guns better then paintball guns?
It's not the sport that matters but how you play it. If you are stupid and don't wear masks then neither of them are safe. Paintballs hurt worse but in airsoft you get hit much more often. In paintball after about your second game you get used to getting hit and it doesn't hurt as bad. The same thing goes for airsoft. But when you think about it airsoft runs off batteries and paintball runs off of Co2 and HpA. So the only way you couldn't be safe in paintball is by not following the rules and not keeping good care of your gun parts and tanks. Hope this helps a little......Personally i play paintball. Send me a message if you have any more questions. Noobhelper 2 Paintball and airsoft are both safe if you know what you are doing and follow safety rules. If the question is what hurts worse, paintball will usually tend to sting more, but airsoft guns can vary in fps, (feet per second), and paintball guns have a set fps speed that fields will only allow (a limit), so you may run into airsoft guns that hurt worse than others, and paintball guns won't vary too much.

Who made the first paintball?
The history of the paintball gun begins in the early 1970s, when it was used as a tool for marking trees and livestock. Charles Gaines, Hayes Noel and Bob Gurnsey were the first people to think up a new way to use the guns. In 1981, twelve friends played the first recreational paintball game using these industrial paintball guns from the Nelson Paint Company on a field measuring over 100 acres (with no masks or safety equipment!). Long stretches of quiet, with people busy stalking each other and worried about whether they were being stalked, were the norm. One of the first names given to the sport that we now call paintball was "The National Survival Game." This name reflects the nature of paintball as it was first played - a small group of friends getting together in the woods to play total elimination games. Sometimes the friends broke into teams to play each other, but most paintball games were "every man for himself." Over the years, recreational paintball has become more sophisticated. Because more people were playing at one time, using teams became the standards. Different game variations began to form. The most popular paintball game became "capture the flag", but offensive/defensive scenarios also were popular. As the number of people interested in paintball grew, so did the development of the commercial paintball industry. The first outdoor commercial paintball field opened in 1982. The first indoor field followed in 1984.These paintball fields allowed large groups of people to meet in one place to play. Paintball business owners were pushed to develop new and exciting ways to keep the players entertained. This further advanced paintball's history by driving the development of new scenarios and styles of playing. Commercial fields became responsible for one of the biggest innovations in the history of paintball: the "bunker-style" game. Smaller paintball fields let players start the action quicker, instead of having to stalk through the woods for 15 minutes before seeing anyone. Also, players purchased more paintballs when they were in a constant firefight, which made the commercial fields more money The first professional paintball tournament was held in 1983. Even then, the prizes where worth $14,000. Today, major tournaments have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of prizes and sponsorships. Tournament play started truly making a mark on paintball's history beginning in 1992, when the National Paintball Professional League (NPPL), was founded. Paintball has grown to be one of the most popular "extreme" sports. The Sporting Goods Manufacturing Association (SGMA) estimates that 5 million people played paintball in 2006. About half of those were frequent players. Nearly half (48%) were under age 18.
How many players are there in each paintball team?
Almost any color you want. Just remember that there are two colors to think about when looking at paintballs: shell, and fill. The shell color is the color on the outside. These range from one color to two colors, to star patterns. the fill color is the color it splatters. These range from the common oranges and yellows to white,blue and purple. Paintballs are not allowed to have red or pink fill or a black shell.
