Paintball question! ?

Question

ive had a box of paintballs for 4 years yes 4 years and about a month ago they started getting dents is this normal to have paintballs last that long?

Answer 1

Dents/Dimples, it happens from paintballs sitting in one spot for too long.  Depending on the quality, they can last that long.

If the paintballs are squishy don't shoot use them in a game.  The dimples will make the paintballs curve in flight.

As long as the paintballs are still roundish you can use them for testing, chrono, and target practice (dimples cause curving though).

Answer 2

They can last this long, but the dents were caused by lack of movement, ans the balls settled against one another. You could potentially use them, but you sacrifice major accuracy, and they are less likely to break.

Answer 3

i have some from about a year ago. they definitely have dents in them. it's  completely normal but i wouldn't recommend using them. they should shoot through your gun normally but won't fly on a very true path (i know paint ball isn't 100% accurate to begin with) if you're going to be stocking up on paint balls i would have to recommend flipping the bag(s) over every week or so (this would help minimize the dents)

Answer 4

YES YOU CAN USE THEM...i've just shot over 5 year paint.... i've  just used some in my 07etek ego and they work semi good....some had problems feeding into the gun... very little of them actally hit the target.... i just used mine for practice... that sh*t bout only keeping them for 2 months at most it total BS its just another way for paintball makers to make more money

EDIT: they wont mess up your gun kid.... if i used 5 year old paint my my $500+ high end marker and it didnt do a thing... yeah your gona have to clean the eyes after your done..... but i wouldnt consider that messing up your gun

Answer 5

Normal...don't use them those...will mess up your gun...paintballs at most should only be stored to 2 months...then throw them away...keep at room temperature
