what happens when my balls are WAY too small?!

[Brak]

haha, that topic got you good didnt it? well heres what happened. i just went to my store and bought myself a healthy supply of paintballs. i bought 2000 PMI premiums, as per AO's suggestions for a good rec ball. but i just put a ball in my barrel, a 12 inch longshot on my timmy, and there is SOOOOO much space! a real lot of space inbetween the barrel and ball. in other words, my balls are way too small for my barrel. i hate to be NOOB-ified here, but im just wondering what other peoples experiences are with this situation? ill probably borrow a cocker-owning friends DYE excel anyway, but if i cant, will my accuracy be down the crapper? or will i just have to turn my velocity over normal to get it to be normal?

[ZAust]

how small? do the balls just roll out of the barrel? if they are that small, youll probably see a big drop in consistency and gas efficiency.

[Brak]

yup, THAT small

I used that stuff last weekend. It is small, shot pretty good, but hard to see the breaks on dark clothing. I ended up using the .686 back on my pipe. You have anything around that bore size?

[Brak]

.686! wow thats small! the longshot im using i tihnk is .689 or .690, im gonna use the xcel next week, but i might play again this week

[punkncat]

Usually what I find when someones balls are way too small is that they get bunkered all day long.....

[Halliday]

I think the Xcel is a large-bore barrel...

[Tunaman]

excel is .690 too...dont use that...

[Bulldog]

I probably could've gone to the .689, but the .686 shot good so I didn't mess with it.

[mag-hatter]

because its cold out. wear some thermal underwear...jk

strap two of those instant hot packs on your hopper

[Brak]

thanks for, uh, not helping at all

When your balls are too small, girls laugh at you.

It will prollyy drop your effiency, lower velocity, and kill accuracy... I dunno, lol

Borrow a small bore barrel from someone. Xcels are large bore, so don't use that.

[paintball8869]

that longshot you have is approx .695 It's friggin huge. Maybe the excel (which people here are saying is 690) will be a better barrel for the paint you have. Give it a try.

your efficiency will be shot to hell with either barrel, but you might get slightly better accuracy with the excel.

Cough MULTI BORE BARREL Cough

[Catch22]

yeah the excel's are HUGE. But not bigger than that longshot by a longshot.
