when u are hit square in the in the hopper they break in your loader
Review:
I bought these paintballs at a sporting goods store and they turned out to be some of the worst paintballs i ever bought.
If you get a direct hit to your hopper usually a ball breakes. this has happened to me at least 5 times in just over 600 balls( i sometimes use mixed paint and its happend alot during then.) then when the balls break i have to spend half an hour cleaning out my hopper and my gun because the cyclone feed system puts the paint onto all the balls. I get hit square in the loader other times with other balls and the other balls that i use dont break. i also think the cyclone feed system helps to break the balls. tippman says that breaking a ball in the cyclone feed system iz impossible. it isnt with these balls. even when i get a direct hit to the hopper lower than 260 they break.
the good part of these paintballs is that the paint is bright for the refs to see and they shoot good until they get paint all over them. they are also good for target practiced in your back yard. they work great until you are hit in the hopper.
Conclusion:
they are great until you are hit in the hopper. but overall they are aweful.

3 out of 10

My friend has the same a5 setup as you and he has never had any problems like paint breaking in the hopper. He used some of my infernos last week never chopped and never broke any in the cyclone feed. u probably got a bad batch. happens to all of us sooner or later
u know why u broke paint?????? because these are tounament grade paintballs!!!!! these are made to be really really brittle so they dont bounce. wanna know why they dont break in pro's guns, cause they use impys, cockers, angels, timmys, etc. those guns can handle very bittle paint. a tippman cannot. these paintball are great paintballs, and they are some of the most accurate paintballs i have ever used. i put about 700 thought my impy when i was testing my equalizer vision baord and i was shooting as fast as i could walking the trigger and never broke one. your gun is the problem, not the paintballs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^he is right, if you want to shoot high grade paint then you need to get a gun that can handle them, throw your gun away and buy a gun that doesnt have a blender attached to it. i have put countless cases through my timmy and never chopped once. never had a barrel break, break in my hopper, just always on target. and i dont know about you or anyone else, but i have NEVER seen a paintball that will be accurate when there is broekn paint in the hopper/barrel.

well said... i have never broke a draxxus inferno in my gun and i have shot around 1000 off. I have an ion pro with a freak and this is the most acurate paint i have ever shot. I also have a 98 Custom and i do break inferno once in a while with the M98 because Tippmann's cant handle brittle paint. THIS IS GREAT PAINT.

Dispute: You clearly got a bad bag... This paint is great and you shouldn't be using tournament grade paint in an A-5 anyway because the cyclone is known to blend them.
Dispute: um inferno is tourney grade paint made for low pressure guns thats y it don't work in your A-5. It broke in your hopper because the A-5 hopper is a piece of $hit. And you are an idiot for using inferno with an A-5 and a noob flatline in the first place. I've used inferno for over a year now and it is my paint of choice.
you contradicted your self cos you said that they shoot well and have a good fill
but then at the end you said apart from breaking in your piece of crap you call a gun,
they were genrely bad, you stupid noob

Dumb *#% Dont use any soft paint in a tiptman actually dont use them at all they suck and break paint all day long tiptman only survives because of the mil. look and 5 shots to the hopper in 600 shots u suck u must keep ur hopper obove the bunker or u cant afford and bag on good paint
