Accuracy also depends on the paintballs you're using. I've had bad
experiences with the WalmArt brand. I only use the ZAP "Chronic" Series.
While most paintballs look the same, they are very different. All it takes
is one to break in the barrel (or hopper) and that's the end of your
accuracy.

you'd need a damn big target to do that at more than 10 yards with my
expirience (albeit limited and with rental equipment, but still.

yup. ammo is cheap and accuracy is lacking. therefore....
