No, do not store them in the fridge. They will dimple badly, thus breaking in your barrel our curving dramatically. Store them in a cool, dry, non-humid, place like a basement. Do not pack them like in a pod spread them out also so they don't dimple.

NO!, they could freeze if the temp is to low and you could kill someone. keep them in a dark place like in an A/C room under a bed. wrong place to post this too.

i keep them in the fridge and they never dimple or curve plus by the time i get to the my friends place to play they are just like normal paintballs so i like puting them in the fridge. the freezer now that is a bad idea and since i have no ac and i dun't want my paintballs to melt so i put them in the fridge Edited by Cormier |

don't store them in the freezer, they will freeze and hurt someone. I don't reccomend putting them in the fridge either. i'd put them in an air-conditioned room. as long as it doesn't get too hot it wont hurt them to stay in a garage. that's where all of my paintballs are and i've never had a problem with them.

i was reffing one day and i had left my gun in the car with a full
hopper of paint, i came back after the day was over planning to shoot
it a bit,(that day the temp got up to 105) the paintballs were one
giant mass in the shape of a hopper, had a little bit of trouble
getting it out without breaking any, and had one stuck in the barrel
that i had to get something to prod it out, so whatever you do, dont
store paintballs in a car all day when it's 105 outside

i keep mine in this big box that some of my ZAPs came in. Make sure you keep them seperated between brands. you dont really want a big mixture of paint, because some of it is good, and some of it is bad, and you'll end up breaking balls every 2 minutes. And I keep all my crap paint in a toolbox, so when I want to just shoot in my backyard, or target shoot, I use that paint because I don't mind wasting it. |

I store all mine in the basement. Most are in my Zap case and I have about 300 in some pods. I rotate them about once or twice a week.

You wouldnt kill them unless you deepfroze them, and they were a hemopheliac. Don't store in a fridge, a closet or basement should work. Remember to rotate the bags as often as possible to keep them from dimpling. |

just in a cool, non-humid room is perfect. like a shady closet, for example.

I thought the same thing about 8 years ago when I first started playing paintball but when you take the paintballs out of the frige they sweat and that causes the paintballs to swell and get soft and if you try to shoot them weel I will put it like this your screwed The best thing to do is just keep them in the bags thet came in squeez all the air out of the bag roll the end of the bag up and put a ruberband around it then store them in a box of some sort then put them in your closet or under your bed or any wheres were theres no light Edited by gsw.3 |
