What is the best paint to shoot for a stock Ion?

Question

For the stock barrel and stock gun and everything, what is the best paint to shoot?

Like the caliber of the paintball

Answer 1

Unfortunately this is like asking "What size shoe should I wear?". The reason for this is that there are minute differences in any mass produced marker barrel. Though the caliber of the paint is .68 it can range between .682-.689 and these thousandths of an inch really do make a difference.

The best way to get the best paint for your barrel is to stop by your local field or paintball pro shop and ask them if you can test a paint fit. Many places will let you do this with a bag of already opened paint. Just drop the paint into the barrel from the end that screws in. It should fit snugly and not roll out of the barrel. Now attempt to blow it out the end of the barrel. If you turn blue trying to get it out then it is too tight. It should blow out with you bulging your cheeks out slightly and have a small pop sound when it comes through.

If they won't let you test your paint you are going to have to purchase a bag of different kinds. Unfortunately that is the only way you will find out the best paint match for your particular barrel.

Answer 2

Nothing different what you shoot any other gun. And all paintballs basically come in a size .68 caliber. I can tell you don't really know that much about paintball. But thats ok, e-mail me at [e-mail] for any more questions.
