Yeah - I've read that the quality and brand of paint has a lot to do
with accuracy. Cheaper paint (materials used and equipment - if you was
the youtube vid I posted) seems to have worse aerodynamics whine in the
air and less stabilty out the barrel.
I've read that some players prefer to "match the paint to the marker".
It seems that certain paint works better in certain set ups.

Doh! Yeah I really wish I could have stayed around that day. In fact
had I decided not to leave sunday AM I prolly would not have run over
the stand pipe. Well perhaps not as soon anyway. (insert scene from
matrix where Neo breaks the vase)
As it turned out it was a good thing I didn't try to call in for another
day off of work. My boss is very flexable when it comes to trying to
work the schedules around the emplyees - but lets say things would have
been Much Not Very Good'er(TM) [eat that sentance Maskalans!] had I
tried to extend my vacation a day. I was needed at work and it would
have been bad if I wasn't there.
