What Paintballs Are

Paintballs are small capsules made of gelatin filled with a coloured dye. The dye is water soluble so it can be washed out, and non-toxic so it won't hurt you even if you accidentally swallow it. Still, I doubt its very tasty!

There are a number of companies that supply paintballs, which come in a large number of different colors and quantities. While the best paintballs can be expensive, it is always possible to buy cheaper ones of lower quality.

The paint is water based, so it will easily wash out, although this might be annoying if you want to play in the rain. The place you play paintball is usually outside, and so is referred to as a field even if it is wooded as many are. Most such places ask you to buy their paint, but some will allow you to bring your own for a small fee.

Yoru choice of paintball depends almost entirely on how you intend to use it, as they vary in consistency of fill. The site http://www.sakworldpaintball.com/paintballs.html has some paintballs you can look at to learn more.

For practical purposes, you are more likely to go for a cheaper product, and quality might not be a top priority. Of course, a tournament ball will need to be the best, and you have to have balls that won't burst in your paintball gun. On the other hand, you need bals that will easily smash into your opponents.

Besides the quality of the ball, you must also think about its size. The ball needs to fit easily into your gun, which means it must be the right calibur for your barrel. All paintballs are .68X, but the final number varies. Most balls these days are .689, however if your local field paint is the wrong size, you might want to consider getting a different barrel for your gun. You can find a variety of barrels available at http://www.sakworldpaintball.com/paintball-barrels.html .

Usually, most paint gun barrels are of .68 calibers. But knowing the exact measure of your paint guns barrel is a pre-requisite for all paintball purchasers. If your ball doesn't fit into your barrel your shell will break and none of the balls will leave your paintball gun in one piece.

Paintball guns themselves come in a number of varieties, like the paintballs themselves. Consider the Ion gun, which has all the standard features you woudl expect, plus is extremely versatile. Think about your level of skill and expertise when choosing a gun, as well as your budget. There's no point having an excellent gun if you can't aim it accurately.
