How much psi does it take to shoot one paintball?

Answer 1

It depends on the quality of the paint (better paint breaks easier). High end paint can break from being dropped with a slightly raised hand, where low end (Walmart) paint must be thrown at the ground at fairly high speeds to break.

Answer 2

this will change for each brand and type of paintball out there, tournement paint will take a lot less than a lower grade paint, some stuff is extremely hard to break, others you can break with your hand alone

Answer 3

It really depends on the type of paintball marker (this is the official term for a paint-ball gun) one is using, along with what type of gas you are firing it with, and what the weather is like (seriously!). Most commonly, an average marker will operate efficiently at about 300-350 PSI, and is the limit for most professional paintball courses. But again, it can very greatly depending upon what you are using. I recommend researching your particular weapon and finding out how it would best work, it will take some tweaking, but its worth the trouble!
