I just got one, and it's my very first gun. Haven't fired yet because I have have a question regarding the caliber. The manual says that you have to use paintballs of that size (.68) But the guy at the dealer store told me that it fires regular paintballs. Now, on stores they are selling boxes labeled with that caliber. My BIG question is: what happens if I use regular size paintballs? will they fit? or will they get stuck in the barrel?
My problem is that I went for what the guy said and bought 2000 regular paintballs without reading the manual first. I know, it was a big mistake. I see that now. I guess that is the first mistake every newbie like myself does: trusting the dealer without doing research first....... .... (I won't do that again EVER)

PD. One good thing about the dealer, seems like I got a very nice gun from what I have been reading in the posts here.

.68 caliber paint is a standard paintball size. The only other size of paintball I know of is the little ones they used for those blowguns, but they are really small compared to a .68 caliber paintball. Regular paintballs, which are supposed to be .68 caliber, actually range is size a little bit but your marker will shoot any normal paintball. You can find a brand of paintball that has the perfect match for your barrel diameter, there are threads elsewhere on this site about that subject, but yes regular paintballs are .68 caliber paintballs.

Thanks for answering so soon. Now I understand why the guy said it was "standard" size...:) Anyway, to play it safe for a while, until I get to know the gun, i will use the .68

Thanks again.
