In 2009 Kingman will be introducing two new paintball hand guns mainly intended for use in training atmospheres. The two new Kingman guns, the Chaser and Eraser, use 11mm (.43 caliber) paintballs and 12 gram CO2 cartridges as their air source.

Kingman plans on releasing the Chaser and Eraser in 2009. No specific date is know at this time.
Compared to real hand guns, the Kingman Chaser and Eraser are now, most likely, the most "life-like" paintball guns in the consumer market.

The only issue I see with these guns are the .43 caliber paintballs. RAP-4 tried using that size before but tests had shown that they wouldn't break on impact like .68 paintballs would.

.68 balls have more paint mass inside, and more surface area of shell to break upon impact. The .43 sized paintballs reduce that ratio of paint to shell, creating a tougher nut to crack, so to speak. Just my two cents, and players can purchase what they like. I would just have them see tests of the new guns to see if this problem has been corrected before they purchase. The guys I knew who bought the RAP-4 pistols had a tough time finding other people that would take the guns off their hands.

If Kingman CAN offer a much better gun, with paint that breaks, then yes, they would have the coolest pistols out on the market. beret:)
