Ammo preparation is a hidden performance factor. Properly hydrated gel balls feed more reliably and reduce the chance of barrel jams.
Hydration Basics That Matter
- Soak gel balls for the recommended duration to reach stable size.
- Use clean water and avoid contamination from dirt or old containers.
- Drain excess water before loading magazines to reduce slippage.
Consistency Over Size Extremes
- Uniform size improves feeding and accuracy more than oversized gels.
- Overhydrated ammo can deform and create inconsistent shots.
- Discard batches that feel overly soft or irregular.
Storage for Match Day
- Store prepared ammo in sealed containers to retain consistency.
- Avoid direct sunlight and high heat.
- Prepare fresh batches before major sessions for best results.
FAQ
Can I reuse gel balls?
