Ball to Bore match?

[Gus Ironman]

If you have a .688 paintball does the barrel need to be .688 or .689? How much .001 difference could there be between barrel and paintball? Can a .692 barrel accurately shot a .689 ball?

[TLplus84]

no a .01 doesn't make too much of a difference. Although a .893 can shoot a .688, the ball can roll out of the barrel or it will not be accurate.

[TLplus84]

i ment to say .692 not .893

[ElectricHead]

i was gonna say... inst 89.3 a little big?

[TLplus84]

haha you'd be shooting paintballs bigger than your head with a barrel bore size of 89.3 lol

It's called a paint Mortar ... Watch out downfield. :eek:

[TLplus84]

naw i don't think even mortars are that big...OMG i just thought of a CRAZY paintball weapon....the laser guided Paintball ICBM....PUHAHAHA wipe out the whole team with the push of a button

[MuckRaker]

But I'd hate to be the one that had to carry the marker that fired that thing.

[TLplus84]

just prop it on your shoulder...point it at the thing that you wanna make go away....and "-=BEEP=-" BOOM~!

Gus, you do need to match the size of the ball to the size of the barrel, as closely as possible. A paintball that is too small for your barrel (like putting a small paintball like a marbalizer into a Large Bore Barrel) will roll out the end. On the flip side, a paintball that is too big for your barrel may break inside it or won't fly straight. Keep in mind that even though a brand, say marbalizers for instance, that is rated a certain size will have inconsistancies from one case to the next and even from one paintball inside the case to another.

When the manufacturer says it's a small paintball, most of them are ... also, things like temperature, humidity and age can affect the size of a paintball.

Hey everyone, would a .688 Dye aluminum and a .692 dye boomstick be enough barrels or should I get the Freak System.(I already have the Dye Aluminum .688)

[ElectricHead]

why dont you just stick with paintball that fit your barrel instead of getting more barrels

[TLplus84]

yeah..i think you're better off just sticking with teh barrel you have and matching paint to it. teh Aluminum Dye is a good barrel, a good paint that goes with taht is Marbs. Also try Diablo Blaze.

[MuckRaker]

Gus, how much money do you have? Find a good paint that works with what ya got.

[TLplus84]

yeah there's no use to buying a new barrel to match a paint.Instead, match the paint the barrel you have.
