Paintballs are said to be .68 caliber, but no one is perfect. Paintballs, depending on the brand, temperature, and other factors, tend to vary slightly in size. Some may be .689, some may be .681, and some may be anywhere in between. This little difference in size can have a large impact on your accuracy and efficiency. Having too big of paint for your barrel may cause more breaks. Too small of paint for your barrel may cause a drop in accuracy, and use up more air to push the paintball out of the barrel. It takes more air to push the paintball out because their will be air escaping around the paintball when the gun is shot. The gap between a paintball that is smaller than the barrel it is inside of will let some air escape by it. This means you would have to increase your velocity, and use more air.

If no paintball fits, it's a good idea to have a few paintball barrels that each have different bore sizes. Something like the Freak Kit or any other kit that comes with different size barrel inserts can be nice to have, as it helps you always to find the right fit for the paintballs you are shooting.

Having the right size of paintballs to use with your barrel is important. For one, you'll have better accuracy, and for two you're paintball gun will be more efficient.

If you have one or two paintball barrels, and several options of paint it is a good idea to match the paint to your paintball barrel to see which brand of paint will fit better.

With the right paintball and barrel match you will have better accuracy, and better efficiency. You'll be shooting straighter as well as getting more shots out of your paintball tank.

To have better efficiency and accuracy, you'll need to find a brand of paint that fits well in your barrel. To find just the right fit of paintball to your paintball barrel take a paintball and set on the opening of your barrel (make sure it's the end that screws into your gun). If the paintball rolls all the way through, it's too small. If it sits on top without going in at least halfway, it's too big. The ideal fit is to have the paintball sit halfway into the barrel. While the paintball is in the barrel blow air into it like you would a blow gun. The paintball should fly out of the barrel like a dart. If you can't blow it out, it's too big. It shouldn't take too much air to blow it out.
