I have no idea what you'd use for ABS, just go with PVC, it easier.

what do u mean, you could use the same projectiles.

3/4" for sure, 1" diameter barrel is HUGE for a paintball. 3/4" is still a little big for the paintball, but it still works. Well, check out Mcrowleys link cuase there are a few different types of 3/4" that may fit better than others.

Where can you get 1" or 3/4" ABS? That would help a load....

i meant a 1" barrel for other stuff, i think i may make interchangeable barrels anyway.

What i'm saying is the I.D of 3/4" ABS is different from the I.D of 3/4" sch 40 PVC, so a paintball may not fit in the ABS. I don't even know the I.D of 3/4" ABS because you didn't say if it's pressure rated or DWV.

its pressure rated class E abs 3/4", i thought that all pressure pipe in the us and uk (where i am) was based on the same measurements

Just take a paintball with you when you go to buy the pipe, its the easiest way of finding out if it fits

im ordering off the internet cause there is knowhere near me where i can buy pressure rated pipe.
