PMI premium. Or just any Medium bore paint will work with the carbon fiber. I know someone that uses a carbon fiber and he was usin diablo blaze and they seem to be good with the barrel.

zap is ok.the performance plus are a pretty good paintball for backyard play and practicing. it kinda has a hard shell but its not too bad. its cheap too. for 2000, ive seen prices around 40 -45 dollars.

you may be able to find it cheaper. i like to order paint from local stores since it has a less chance of breaking. i ordered paint from pbgear and at least 1 was broke in every bag. thats what i hate.

i think what happened is they rushed to get it on the plane and didnt realize they were paintballs. either that or i think the package was dropped during shiiping

Its still pretty hard with all the penuts they put in the second box. But what could happend is the other paintballs crush each other.:(
