Not all paintballs are created equal. Understanding paint grades helps you choose ammunition that performs reliably.
Paint Grade Categories
Field/Recreational
Thicker shell, washable fill, $30-50/case. Best for practice and casual play.
Mid-Grade
Medium shell, brighter fill, $50-70/case. Good for regular players.
Tournament
Thin brittle shell, highly visible fill, $70-100+/case. Required for competition.
Bore Matching
Match paint size to barrel bore for better accuracy. Use the roll test to check fit.
