I had an Armson rifled barrel for my Autococker back in the 90's. It worked great for about the first 30 yards- then the ball would have a sort of random "hitch" in it's flight. If you were inside 30 yards though- it could hit a golf ball at those distances.
My best barrel is a J&J hardchrome-over-brass smoothbore. With the right paint it's freakishly accurate. RPS gator-black or Zap tournament pink.
I used to play the "StoreWars" big games at Paintball Hill in Anguin CA back in the late 80's and early 90's. Those games were unreal, with 500-700 guys playing. One guy had an "RPG" that launched a styrofoam coffee cup full of paintballs in one shot, or a single paint grenade about the size of your fist. That was pretty intimidating to play against.
50 caliber paintballs might work in a percussion gun with a wad under the paintball. 50 paint is routinely hard, and hurts up close.
Whatever you're doing, please observe all the standard safety precautions- 285 feet per second, barrel socks, and paintball-specific eye protection.
