Basic site 'recreational' paint as sold to punters is the lowest grade, and is likely to vary a lot for size and condition
It generally is held by the site in large numbers and could be traveling back and forth between the site and their off site storage (to minimize the impact of burglary in a remote location)
They don't know if they will have high or low numbers of paint sales and absolutely must not run out, so will rather have too much available
At a walkon you ought to have a better paint option and maybe a choice of a few grades. Often sites will also let you preorder other paints as well for what you prefer
Anything above basic punter paint, is stored well and not taken out of the back hours earlier will be more likely to be a consistent size in the bag or batch
Just the consistency between balls and good round balls will give an improvement
In real shooting the round will ultimately drop off and veer at some point, but is a better design to keep it straight for the distance you will use it
Paintballs are like liquid filled musket balls and we stretch them to their limit of accuracy
Even first strikes with their fin that gives long straight line accuracy will drop off suddenly - the true 'first strike marksman' equally needs to shoot quantities over a range to learn how they perform at different distances and environmental conditions
Check out the hammerhead guide to 'tuning' their barrels below, they recommend a slight overbore but then that you turn down velocity a bit at a time until the balls get a better grouping on the range

You may not need to get a set of barrels or inserts, that would give you the ability to change but if the balls are more consistent and in good condition then you've made a good step
Then keep your barrel clean with a fluffy
Even good balls can be sweaty in some conditions, and a bad batch can be horific but a barrel break will cover every subsequent ball in paint and they will be everywhere
