not keeping paint at the right temp will make the shells swell and form dimples=BAD accuracy. Also, it may make the paint shells brittle causing either breaking in the gun, or bouncing off players.

Right around room temp is good, i store mine in the basement.

Rifled barrels don't do squat, and if they do, they don't do it any better then a nice high end stiffi or dye ultralight.

47 (or the first number) is the cubic inches of the tank. 3000, 4500, and 5000 is how much pressure the air inside is stored at (now, a field can fill a 4500 to 3000 though, but not a 3000 to 4500 for safty reasons) did u know this info could have been found in the air systems forum, theres a sticky up top. I don't mind, that would have saved a question though

xpaintball.com pays for our servers, so why direct users to their competition? This only applies to paintball STORES, specific manufacters sites (who make things xpaintball doesn't sell) are usually allowed to be posted.

Why not call and ask the field?

Do whatever u want, though pb is more expensive.

You need to keep it in a not too hot, not too cold temp or else the paintballs will freeze or get really soft.

2. what'll happen if you don't keep it at the right temp?
The paintballs will either freeze or get really soft.
3.what is the right temp?
Around 60 degree's.
4. Do rifled barreles give anymore accuracy than non-rifled barrels?
No

5. When some one describes a HPA tank what do the numbers mean (47/3700)
[/b]The first nuber is the Cubic inches, and the second number is the PSI.[b] Which means at 47 would get about 470 shots.

(now for some wierd/out of place questions)

6. Why are we only alowed to post sites that are anytingextreme.
Its because it is the sites sponsor.

7. does any one know if your allowed to bring your own paint if your bring your own stuff at PB USA santa clarita?
I'm not sure about that, you probably wont be able to because they will think that A. You Froze it, or B. You have marbles in it.

8. do you think i should switch entierly to pb or keep playing airsoft too?
IMO, Airsoft sucks and i think you should keep playing PB.

ok im tierd of typing. I know that those last three questions are a bit out of place but try to arnwer if you can.

How do you like that? I hope it helps.

[CH4OS]

paintballs do not freeze. there shells will only become hard and more brittle and will actually cause them to break easer. fields dont let you bring your own paint because they just overprice theres to make more money. there excuse is so you dont bring marbles. but what stops you from putting a bag of marbles in your pocket and going to the field and loading them once your on the field??

[Roadkill]

1. Preserves the paint so it lasts longer


2. The paint will spoil

5. First number is size in cubic inches. the second number is pounds per square inch. 68/4500 means a 68 cubic inch tank capable of holding air at 4500 pounds per square inch.

(now for some wierd/out of place questions)

6. We are sponsored by xpaintball.com, one of their perks of doing so is them being the only postable site.

7. Call them up and they should answer your question

8. Do you have freinds that play airsoft? It might be nice to switch between the two depending on your mood.

I know a i missed a few, this is probably because i am not 100% sure about the answer and do not want to risk giving false information. Im sure others will answer any i missed.

rifled barrels do not work with paintball. At the very least they have no effect, at worst you will have your paintballs flying all over the place. This is simply because rifling doesnt work well with ball shaped projectiles. Unlike a bullet which is cone shaped like a football, a paintball is just a ball that has a lot more surface area in the front.

ok thanks for the info guys

Not the mention the fact that paintballs do not remain in a constant shape when they are fired, which would make the spin caused by a rifled bore to have negative or negated effects.

Any range increases are going to come from backspin, which in a sphere causes lift. IE: The Tippmann flatline.

[RastaPasta]

backin up Sinnermans point a rifle bullet lets say shot out of a .270 spin wouldnt come off the the bullet to difect the range and accuracy of the projectile. also lots more power coming off a bullet such as caliber as small as .22.

1. what is the big deal about keeping your paint at the right temp?

If you store paint at the wrong tempature if will swell or dimple making for bad accurcy, and that means that you have ruined paint.

2. what'll happen if you don't keep it at the right temp?

If you store paint at the wrong tempature if will swell or dimple.

3.what is the right temp?

I keep mine pretty much anywhere but the garage because mine gets really hot and really cold.

4. Do rifled barreles give anymore accuracy than non-rifled barrels?

I dont think they have rifled paintball barrels I may be mistaken thought

5. When some one describes a HPA tank what do the numbers mean (47/3700)

In this case 47 stands for cubic inches and the 3700 is PSI (pounds per square inch) I think.

6. Why are we only alowed to post sites that are anytingextreme

Anythingextreme.com pays are hosting fee's so they get mad if you go around posting other stores that take there business

7. does any one know if your allowed to bring your own paint if your bring your own stuff at PB USA santa clarita?

Nah I dont know try finding out there number and giving them a call

8. do you think i should switch entierly to pb or keep playing airsoft too?

Im not a huge fan of airsoft but if you like it theres no reason you cant do both besides money

ok im tierd of typing. I know that those last three questions are a bit out of place but try to arnwer if you can.

[b] i dont think that the tmepurate matters, unless its at like 40 degress and 120 degrees, just flip the box or bag two times a week.

2. what'll happen if you don't keep it at the right temp?
i think if u dont, it will get really hard and frale, or the shell is disform and swell and get lopsided.
3.what is the right temp?
dont know
4. Do rifled barreles give anymore accuracy than non-rifled barrels?
when you saw rifled do you mean the groves on the inside of the barrel or do u mean the holes drilled in it, the holes is called porting and what they do is take the turblence out of the paintball and the more holes the more constent it is
5. When some one describes a HPA tank what do the numbers mean (47/3700)
("47"/3000) means the tank is 47 cubic inches, and can hold 3000 psi[b]
(now for some wierd/out of place questions)

6. Why are we only alowed to post sites that are anytingextreme
because www.xpaintball.com funds this website
7. does any one know if your allowed to bring your own paint if your bring your own stuff at PB USA santa clarita?
no i dont know
8. do you think i should switch entierly to pb or keep playing airsoft too?
if u like pb alot more then airsoft, sell your airsoft gun and put mor money into your marker, if u dont like pb that much, keep up with airsoft[i]
ok im tierd of typing. I know that those last three questions are a bit out of place but try to arnwer if you can.

and thats all i know about your questions

[tippmann666]

everyone knows if you dont keep paint at the right temp, it wont taste as good

[Galvaniz3]

paint not at the right temp will make it dent and just be horrible so just take care with it...

and hpa is labeled like this 47/3000 this first number being the cubic inches of the tank and the 2nd number being the Pounds per Square inch it runs at
