Paintball balls are not all the same size, for an efficient, long and precise shot you need to calibrate the barrel. A caliber of 0.68 the balls vary from 0.679 and 0.695.
The more the barrel is calibrated to the size of the ball, during passage, the less air around it and less vibration. More precision and power if the barrel sticks to the ball.
