The .68 paintball is the backbone of the sport of paintball. While there are other calibers, the .68 is the most popular paintball because of the balance between accuracy, velocity, and reliability. Consequently, most paintball equipment is designed around this size of paintball. 

When selecting paintballs for use, there are several factors to consider. First, players must prioritize the quality of paintballs, since high-quality options ensure consistent performance.  Lower quality options may be prone to breaking prematurely or flying erratically. Additionally, players should consider the thickness of the paintball shells; thinner shells break more easily upon impact but are more susceptible to breaking within the marker, while thicker shells offer durability at the cost of potentially not breaking as easily upon impact. Generally, paintballers prefer more brittle paint to less brittle paint.

Other additional factors like the color of the paintball shells and the color of the paint inside are important. Darker paintballs make it more difficult for other players to see and anticipate shots and are therefore more popular. However, the paint inside the paintball should be bright and eye-catching so that a player can see when they’ve been hit.

Finally, players should evaluate their budget and the quantity they require, keeping in mind that paintballs are typically sold in bulk and prices can vary. Once purchased, proper storage is essential for maintaining paintball performance. Players should store their paintballs in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation or misshaping.
