ok i was looking at a gun on actionvillage.com, the BE tigershark... and when you buy there are extra stuff at the bottom to buy such as paintballs co2 and stuff. i saw they have 2000 paints for 35 bucks... does anyone know what company they are and if they are any good ?
thanks

well, the chance of a ball being broken in a bag during shipping is VERY high. no matter how well the company packs them, a ball will most likely be broken. then u end up bringing out the towel and cleaning them. if i were you, i'd juss put up an extra 5 bucks and get paint from your local shop if they are cheap too. See if they are running any good sales becuz sumtimes u can get paint for under 50 bucks a case.

On another note dont get a tigershark. look at a spyder compact those are low price too but high quality. Brass eagle pretty much makes junk. Sorry it is the truth.

i think not.... BE does have many bad products, but don't diss the tiger shark, i think it might be the only and the best BE product ever made, lol, i use to have one, i loved it, its alot of fun, by the way, you can get a tiger shark for 15 off ebay.....

Look guys paintball is an expensive sport. Period. Dont skimp , buy a good mask , good marker , good paint , good tank. If you can't afford it .......just don't kid yourself. If I were you i would get a compact , 30 dollar mask , 20 oz. tank , squeegie . total like 120. Maybe more if u want to get like a shutter or TL plus. just don't skimp or it will hurt you in the long run.

he's right, if you want the tiger shark just becuase its a pump, i'd recommend saving up another 40 dollars or so, and get a maverick, there very, and i mean very durable, and are suppose to last forever, and as for paintballs, don't waste your money and buy a bag of 500 or even like 200, you'll get ripped off, just find like 1000rnds. for like $30 online, or at your pro-shop, don't buy zaps, or BE, stuff for like 200rnds. for $9 thats a rip off and a not very well made product, go for any PMI ball pretty much (the includes RPS same company, i like PMI Premium, Flash Paintballs, and Marbs the most....) and also Diablo makes good paintballs.......

I order paint from actionvillage all of the time and it always arrives in excellent condition, no broken balls, no dimples. I have been purchasing the PMI premium from them and it has shot very well. I have also had good luck with paintballnumber1 Tourney paintballs. They are a good medium bore with small seams that flies straight and is hard for people to wipe. IF you want a guarantee on your paint that is shipped to you go to firstcallpaintball.com they have 4 case deals that come with free shipping that are under $140 for brand name stuff. Plus they guarantee that no balls will be broken or they will replace it. Just my $0.02.

Usually paint is packed and shipped the same way to the field as it is to your house. Buy paint online.

Wrong. I've ordered paint from actionvillage over 40 times (usually 2 cases per shipment) I have only had one 500 bag break and it was only one ball, so it was quite easy to clean. You will have no trouble with ball breakage when ordering from actionvillage
