| The a5 manual says I can only use .68 caliper paintballs in the gun. Does this mean its not safe to use larger bore size paint like .691? |

No, .691 is close enough to 68 caliber that it will not make a difference with most barrels. This warning is telling you not to use the other paint calibers that were/are available. (I.e. no .40, .43, .50, .62, or .75 caliber paint.)

Hey Mack, you know where I can get some .62cal?  There are a lot of people who'd kill you to get that info if indeed you did.------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Kill me!? No, I have no idea as to where any .62 cal paint can be found. I only threw that in there because it was one of the calibers I knew was available at one time. Repeat! I do not know where there is any .62 caliber paint. -------------

.62 caliber is the diameter used by SMG-60's. I picked up 1500 rounds back in the day from Nelson, it was only a couple years ago too. Look up some blowgun sites. Or just google .62 caliber paintball. Now if only i could get the darn thing working 100% ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

Regarding knowing where to acquire .62 caliber paint.
Oh boy, The Guy you may be in trouble. Keep your doors locked. Edited Note: I can't believe I forgot to mention the 6mm airsoft paintballs in my earlier post. Those don't work in .68 cal paintball markers either. -------------

It seems a rather short and hasty response. They sound pissed off. Somehow I doubt the really did destroy the molds. ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site
