How To Choose The Right Paintballs For Your Paintball Marker.

A paintball is a gelatin capsule that contains polyethylene glycol, water-soluble substance, dye, and is non-toxic. Through out the years the developments of products have improved dramatically. These days the paint should easily wash out of clothing. They even make glow in the dark paintballs so that you can play a game at night and paint that can be used for winter play. Just keep in mind that the color of the shell is not always the color of the paint inside.

Most paintballs are .68 caliber but can very in size. They may also not be perfectly round which can change the dimensions of them as well. It is very important to keep your paintballs out of the sun and away from moisture because this can change both the size and accuracy of them. If you are on the field on a hot day keeping the paintballs in an insulated cooler to keep them from being damaged.

Make sure they are the correct size for your paintball marker. There are several ways you can check to be sure they are the right size. You can place a paintball in the barrel of the paintball gun. If it rolls out it’s to small and if you place the it in and you are able to gently blow it out is just right. If you find that the paintball is just to big for your Marker do not use it. You will run the risk of it getting stuck or breaking in the barrel which is the last thing you want during your paintball game.

You can purchase your paintballs in very many different package sizes. If you’re a hard core player you can get a box of 1,000’s but if you just play around the yard and just need a small amount you can purchase a small bag or a Pod sometimes known as guppies. The Pod is good for quick easy fill of your hopper because the cap is spring loaded and can be opened one handed.

No matter what your looking for keep one thing in mind Paintballs that are higher priced are usually made of higher quality and are typically more consistent which will give you a better elimination percentage rate. That is the objective of the game. Don’t be left behind.
