Paintball Storage Tips

Video Transcript

"This is Robert Stewart, with hill13.com. My paint has a dimple in it, a deep dimple. That means we can't use that. The thing is, is that when you have bad paint it's not worth putting in the gun. If the paint has got dimples in it, or if it feels excessively hard, like it's been stored in cold weather, that paint's not going to function very well in the gun. So what you have to do is examine your paint before you begin play, and make sure you're not shooting old or defective paint. Now, another thing is when you're talking about being on the field with hoppers filled with paint, if you dump the paint on the ground, if it spills, and you get dirt on it, you don't want to put it in the gun, because the debris that sticks to this gelatin capsule will fowl the gun out, and cause ball breakage. So when you store your paint, you want it to be at room temperature, It can't be too hot, it can't be too cold, and you don't want the paint to get thrown around, because that also creates dimpling, because especially if the paint is cold, or getting hard, and getting a little old. All of the paint balls pressing against one another in the bag is what causes the dimples, the paint won't fly right, and you'll have a lot more chopped balls."
