Allen keys are Imperial (NOT Metric) sizes, just ask in your local DIY/tool store.

I don't know if the sizes are right in this instance, but these would be the kind of thing you want. Cheaper than buying the 'proper' ones...which are just the same.

Sorry, but there are no such thing as imperial/metric Allen keys, especially a set of 8 - Imperial keys are marked as fractions of an inch, i.e. 1/16", 5/64", 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 7/32", 1/4" etc. Not in whole and .5 sizes, those are metric keys.

If you use Metric keys in Imperial screws you run the risk of rounding out the screw heads as the key may seem like it fits but there are subtle differences in the sizing - always best to use the right tools for the job, saves a lot of hassle later.

The vast majority of paintball markers use UNF threads which are Imperial (with the obvious exception of Angel).
