How to use this chart: |
It is a good idea to find
a barrel suitable for the paint you commonly shoot. Steps to find your barrel:
If you already have an aftermarket barrel or
are playing with your stock barrel, and you desire to find a good paint
match, this chart can also help you. Steps to find a paint mach:
If you want to get really technical, you can attempt to match the actual bore sizes, but in all honesty, this is not always completely accurate. The tried and true matching procedure is always the best
when it comes right down to it. Paintballs are naturally
out-of-round, swell in hot/humid weather, shrink in cold weather, and just
plain do what ever they want when they get old. the only sure test for
paint/barrel match is to actually test the paint in your barrel: |
