If you are going to go out to play paintball, then you need some paintballs. We offer paintballs from your basic all the way to your high end tournament grade. The basic paintballs are usually the cheapest. They tend to have a harder shell and a watered down fill. Your high end paintballs tend to be fairly fragile with a fill that is going to be fairly difficult for you opponent to wipe.
If you purchase paintball from us and we are out of stock, we will upgrade you to the higher grade paintball for no charge!
Paintballs are a key component of paintball markers, with their size and quality significantly impacting performance. While standard paintballs are typically .68 caliber, it's crucial to note that the optimal size for a .68 caliber ball is actually .689 caliber. Ideally, paintballs should be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the barrel to prevent barrel breaks. However, due to variations in size and roundness, a barrel slightly larger than .689 is often recommended to accommodate different paintball qualities.
Most stock barrels are around .691 (+/-), ensuring compatibility with various paintball sizes. Investing in a quality aftermarket barrel can enhance accuracy, particularly when paired with high-grade paintballs. Paintballs may also fluctuate in size due to temperature, humidity, and altitude changes. Additionally, alternative sizes such as .50 caliber (for low-impact games) and proprietary sizes by different brands exist. Paintballs typically come in cases containing 2,000 rounds, divided into four 500-round bags.
Paintball Storage is critical for maintaining paintball quality. Paintballs are sensitive to humidity and temperature changes, which can cause the shells to stretch over time, resulting in shape distortion. Storing open bags of paintballs is not advisable, as exposure to fluctuating temperatures accelerates the aging process. Whether stored at 55 or 80 degrees Fahrenheit, consistent temperature is preferable to drastic fluctuations. Paintball stores and parks often store paintballs in climate-controlled environments and receive shipments in climate-controlled trucks to preserve quality. For optimal storage, keep paintballs unopened in a central closet at home. When stored properly, paintballs can maintain quality for up to 9 months.
Paintballs are classified into five quality levels, each with distinct characteristics:
Understanding these quality levels allows players to make informed decisions based on their preferences and gameplay requirements, ensuring an optimal paintball experience.
