Not sure if it’s correct, but Google says the patent was set to expire in 2029 but expired in 2022 due to lapse of maintenance fees.
The bad welts I’ve seen are from morons chrono’ing with paintballs and then shooting FSR, usually a 30+ fps difference.
I will concede that if the shell breaks a certain way on bare skin, it is more likely to cut the skin.
Beyond that, it’s just perception because FSR retain velocity/energy better. An FSR at X yards hits the same as a paintball at point blank range. This could be combatted by lowering field velocities, but then the reticle on my Supremacy scope is no longer calibrated.
Yeah, the plastics thing still bugs me, despite my last post.
Good point on the ultra round balls. I forgot they were powder only, but they could be paint, like an FSR.
