Yes, as long as they are .68 caliber(you rarely see anything other then that size) you will be good.

seconds refers to the all the ones that are not quite perfect, thats also why they are cheaper, they are generally still usable but they wont be as good as the normal ones

Seconds dosn't mean it's been used once.
Seconds work great for practice or fun goof around games where you really don't care who wins or loses. It's just cheap paint, so don't expect any miricals from it. Worse that will happen is the paint will consitantly break in the hopper or in the gun when it's fired. This can get annoying.

I found out that buying paint from walmart isn't good as well. All of the paint I bought broke in my hopper or barrel.
