6mm paintballs ?

Post by littlewilli »

Thinking of trying these, have others already tried them, What are the common problems? (Can there be a problem with balls fouling) ?
Which ones do people recommend or advise to keep clear from ?
Which supplier do people recommend or advise to keep clear of ?

:( Barrel bursts
I wouldnt take the risk could be a footer taking it to bits to swab it out.
Any mention of use with old airsoft springers I heard was they worked alright for a while.

Hi,

I used paint balls bought from tankzone, (red) they work fine but you will get the odd jam. A long 5mm drill bit on REALLY low speed will extract the mash then just cloth and rod. Try them out on a tank with a short barrel first, it is alot easier to clean.

Only have a tiger 1 and m26 . may need to get a panzer III or KV to practice fouling drill :) . As for the drill bit you are not just talking about poking it down the barrel.
How about swapping to regular bb to force a clearance , or removing the barrel for a watch and rinse.
