Re: GrEy area for anyone (british english . . .:-)[TANKS]

["Peter Arundel" <pureteenlard-at-hotmail.com>]

In RC tank combat, I'd say that 3 was better. Of course a 6mm paintball is 
ENORMOUSLY (36mm at 1/6th scale, of course) over scale and it's the smallest 
you can get.
I suppose you can worry about it or you can NOT worry about it. I favour the 
latter.
