I'm glad that they are gone. The owner was a real jerk. He posted a review of his own paint whining about how we complained about his paint too much.

seconds are cheap paint... or basically leftovers of the first batch... they remake it, and sell it like new.

They're crap. They're the stuff that you can get free for xpaintball.com for buying stuff. They're crap. If you get a case of them, be ready to use the intire case in order to hit your target.

Honestly, all i heard of them was employees talking about the paint being the best thing since jesus christ. Whenever someone brought up the fact that they stained clothing the direct (s)hit supporters would go nuts and start saying people dont know how to wash their clothes and that direct (s)hit is the best paint ever, it has titanium injected into it's shell after all!

direct hit wasn't bad.
was it really seconds? I don't know about that???? I think that was just a rumor. They did have good prices on stuff (paintballgeek)(kinda) but I don't really know much about them. THey didn't stain my clothes.

if they were seconds how come there were so many availible??? i bought 20 cases! i have had 1 case that was a little ify i had one ball in each bag of 500 that was not sealing on the seam!. they are great i started a bussiness on them no complaints from any one the PMI gold stained more when it did break. there were some flat spots were the balls touch the side of the card board b/c the boxes are too small. they break awesome! leave the best mark ive ever seen. if they could sell me some more for their going outa bussiness sale that would be nice but i have 16 left still.
who originaly makes the seconds?
(i still think they make thier own)

Direct is cheap stuff.... yeah its seconds quality. Go for a mainstraeam paint like diablo PMI or RPS... go with what you know. After some of the pharmecutal companies stopped making paintballs all these little crap dealers starting making their own crap paintballs... Like Direct Hit... Then crappy sites like xpaintball gives them away like they are really giving you something good... what a ripoff... go with what you know and go with quality. Why save 5 bucks on a case of paintballs when all they are going to do is break in your barrel or not fly straight....
BOO - Direct Hit
BOO!! - xpaintball.com
