Right but the skirt follows the dome. The dome isn't the problem, IMO, it's the skirt (in either direction).

you're the only one who I know has used the rounds, that is still concerned with the skirt...

I'm also one of the few who has shot these things in varying situations. Everybody else seems to just shoot at each other, praise how accurate they are, and say how they're the best thing ever since oxygen.

I do not know if anyone has this equipment, but what about about shooting the FS and PB rounds against one of those pads that measures Feet Per Square Inch(FPSI) of pressure? Like they use to measure force on Deadliest Warrior. If I am not mistaken, (I probably am) paintballs are SUPPOSED to be limited in weight by ASTM standards so they do not exceed a certain FPSI at a standard range at 300fps. I am sure that there is an established and agreed upon FPSI that skin sustains damage. We would then have a quantitative test.
Discuss...



(BTW...this is my first post here, but I am by no means a noob. I have been playing since 1988 and am currently the coach of the United States Military Academy at West Point Paintball Club)

yes, the ASTM standard has a total joule number. since the first strike weighs the same as a paintball - and is traveling at the same speed the total energy will be the same.
