I bought a fresh case of pmi stinger paintballs, and they roll right through the barrel, and the accuracy... in a 20 inch circle from 50 feet away, only 7 out of 50 hit the circle!


Heelp meee!

I'm not even sure you can return paint if you have used it or not. The paint is just a little too small for the barrel. It shouldn't be as big of a problem as you're making it out to be.

Every case says .68 caliber.

Option A:
Deal with it and keep using it

Option B:
Sell paint to someone

Option C:
Buy a medium bore sized barrel (this all pending what type of barrel you have)

Edit: just read your profile, says you have a 12" teardrop, they're usually not very paint picky with bore sizes, sounds more like either your barrel isn't clean or you got a bad batch of dimpled paint.

I did mah research and found that paint increases in size when it is exposed to humid air.

All i did is open the bag and let the paint sit for about 30 minutes in my room and they get big enough to fire correctly.

yay

But that also makes the shell get softer and less brittle, therefore it won't break as easily.

what??? oxymoron? I think so.

I believe what you were trying to say is that it makes the shell get softer, so that it bounces when it hits your designated target

Exactly, it's just kind of hard to word it. Softer as in squishier.

gee... your right... maybe it is better to have a crunchier shell that can break on target..

O WAIT I FORGOT! IT WILL HIT EVRYTHING BUT WHAT IM AIMING AT!!
