Have you tried unjamming it by pushing something long and thin, but not sharp that'd scratch the barrel, through the barrel? If it's as good as dead, you may as well try that before you submerge it.
Some brands have a slide catch that'll lock the slide back with an empty magazine. If it'll do that, lock the slide back and you can try carefully pushing the obstructing paintball through. If it doesn't lock, it might be easy enough to hold it back with one hand and try to unjam it with your other.
For unjamming it, what comes to mind that might work alright is wooden skewers, plastic ballpoint pen refills (backwards) and NOT coathangers.
If you don't want to submerge it, you may be able to try that first (if you haven't already).
I don't know if you know if your gun has hopup (a little membrane at the top of the barrel where it starts that gives the bb backspin for more range), but if it does, forcing anything through it could damage that. Chances are, it doesn't have hopup though, in which case it should be safe enough to push something through. In case it does have hopup, you could just be careful not to push whatever you may use too far back through the barrel (don't push your rod past 1/4" from the end of the barrel inside the gun).
