Does paintball temperature effect the accuracy of the gun?

Answer 1

they are more lickly to chop when they are hotter they'll break inside the gun and that isn't very good when your in the middle of the battlefield. and if it does happen you have to clean the barrel with a squeegie or a cloth or something.

Answer 2

-I did some research and depending on what paintball you have, freezing them creates unbalanced weight, making the paintball inaccurate. From what I've found the unbalanced weight is due to small quantities of air pockets inside the paintball that get frozen in place. They also are very brittle and its not good for the paint if you allow it to unfreeze.

Answer 3

Yes. The temperature most affects CO2 tanks by expanding or contracting the gas, but also affect the barrel and paint. If your barrel is cold, then it will shrink, which will give you a different shooting pattern when it is at room temperature or hot.

Answer 4

Temperature firstly affects the propellant pressure, as a gas (even more so for C02). a greater temperature yields greater velocity. This is the greatest factor, but also barrel and ball shrinkage will affect accuracy, if the fit is too tight due to the cold or too large due to the heat.

Humidity is also related to the paint swelling and shrinking, however temperature changes are almost always followed by humidity changes and could be counted together.

A person in a hotter climate may have to use a larger bore barrel as paint will swell with the humidity reguardless of temperature. However in hot, dry climate paint may shrink in the hear.

Answer 5

You could ask at what temperature a paintball freezes.

Answer 6

“Will a shrunken (due to cold temperature) or swollen (due to high temperature) paintball affect the performance of a shot?”
