look at the paint and see if it has swelled any or started to dimple.

then my guess is that it has a greater chance of breaking in the barrel... anyone have a different idea?

They would break a lot. They just wont shoot super straight. And they might be really brittle.

i combine a bag of like 200 and 500 (bad move!!) of big ball and didn't play with that bag for like 3 weeks. over 1/2 of em had dents and they were breaking all day. So i slamed that abg against a tree hehe :) it was funny :)

if they're dimpled, all you have to do is open the bag up and put a wet paper napkin inside the bag, then seal the bag again. the paintballs will obsorb the moisture from the napkin and will get rid of the dimples.

dont let the wet napkin touch the paint though. the longer you leave the wet napkin the there the less brittle the balls will be.

i'd start out leaving it in there for a couple hours, and just keep an eye on your paint. once the dimples are gone take it out. :nod:
