Paintball Barrel Length Selection, Boring & Bore Size

This video is to help players make better choices in selecting paintball barrels and bore sizes.

Anything less than 14" is too short
Anything over 16" is too long
14" or 16" work the best

For bore size, all paintballs typically start out around .689. But as heat, moisture and humidity starts to affect the ball throughout the day, the paintballs will rapidly expand.

You want the paintball to ROLL OUT of the barrel at the start of the day. I personally prefer 14" Barrels, and here are my personal recommendations-

14" Barrels-

.691 Bob Long Marq 1 Piece
.692 Dye Ultralite 2 Piece
.693 CP 14" 1 Piece Classic Barrel **
.694 Bob Long Marq 2 Piece

If you insist on using a 16" barrel, here are my recommendations-

.691 16" CP 2 Piece Pro Barrel
.692 16" Dye Ultralite
.693 16" CP 2 Piece Pro Barrel
.694 16" Bob Long Marq 2 Piece Barrel


14" in my opinion is the BEST length for a paintball barrel. The sooner you can get the ball out of the barrel, the better chance you have of it not breaking in the barrel. 14" is the universal length I recommend, and the .693 14" CP Barrel is the most universal barrel I recommend.

Enjoy!

If i am shooting paint that is .684 Is a .693 too big

[BlackMarketPaintball]

@Jesushobo yes i did but that is way too big, the paintballs will just clank around in the barrel while flying out and possibly even break, go with a .689 or .687, they are usually very good sizes

@BlackMarketPaintball Did you even pay attention to anything he said in this video? Over-bored is better than under-bored, especially if you live anywhere warm.

@campbellparker freezing paintballs is illegal but more often then not unless you have the timing down to the MINUTE, it will ruin the paintballs

[BlackMarketPaintball]

@Amplifier007 i wouldn't recommend that, that would be a very large size and would cause inaccuracy with most paintballs.

@ThenWatup you shouldn't ask, maybe take the advice you got from Mike and implement it yourself??? if you go and learn something and then you don't learn from it, then why are you trying to learn to begin with??????

@AAAngelsofdeathhh you still do, but you wouldn't still aim the marker at someone in a none shooting area.

@ILOVEHELLOKiTTY85 so i dont shoot the gun at people?

[ThenWatup]

What would be the best bore size for South and North Carolina? I want a CP Advantage 14in.

i say, keep the safety tips of real fire arms and still apply it to paintball.
