They're cheap (Price wise, 15 bucks for 500). Can be bought at wal-mart. RPS. Besides Dusk's, there the best you can buy at wal-mart.

$15/500 is pretty expensive, a case would be $60 then
i'd rather get a hold of some blaze or nightmares

what about diablos those work really good for me
EDIT- and about the super swirls, i was just wondering if anyone else had the same problems with them, every other ball broke in the barrel. it made me mad

check your velocity
chadolf

my velocity was fine, i'm not stupid. when i used diablos none of them broke

that's the only thing i can come up with because it's very hard to imagine that you broke almost every ball in the bag unless the bore size was too big for your barrel

i had those, very misformed balls. they were all dented and the size wasnt consistant. worked ok in my tippman, but hell broke loose when i used them in my spyder:eek: :eyes:

well it looks like we should just say DON"T GET SUPERSWIRLS unless you want crap for balls.

no, i didn't use a whole bag. i used about 100 rounds, almost around 40-50 of them broke.

I just needed some paint for a day in the mountains. I picked up 1000 rounds($28.00)Super Swirl from Walmart yesterday,shot about 300.No breaks,shot nice & straight.I was surprised they had rps/pmi paint,if they were breaking on you it must have been an old batch just return them to Walmart.You can definately buy rps/pmi cheaper online but these worked great in a pinch.

the only thing that i really liked about them was the dry dusty feel they had. unlike the oily paint i've used

true they do have a dry shell.. dry and thick and... er... stupidly hard
chadolf

yah, i spilt some out of a pod, and i accidently stepped on like 10 of them, none of them broke, it was crazy.

You guys that are complaining should check your barrel/paint match. Or at least be wise enough to look at the balls before you buy them, because I use them sometimes and don't have any problems.

Mine were on sale at walmart if that tells you anything....might be a bad batch or just old but anyway the paint to barrel match was right. its just personal preference. i prefer to stay away from them. my friends did the same to him too so i won't buy anymore. if they work for you guys go for it. whatever works works

You people actually had it break in your barrel? You must have a barrel with a smaller bore size than the ball. Because i've went through a hell of a lot of these before (Till i get my septer, its the only paint i can find that will fit my barrel) and these things rarely break.....but hey, you cant wipe bruises i guess
Shoot these at people you dont like(In game of corse)
I liked them for target practice...but the shell is mass tough!!
I shot my brother in-law like 4 times at 35 feet and didn't break even one and my gun was cranked way up too!!
These are walmarts best...they shoot very straight...and are not all slimey like many other balls!!
later,

I wasn't pleased with Super Swirls. I broke way too many, changed barrels, and still broke. Changed paint and broke none at all. I see my friends using super swirl and they always break their markers also. And when they break in your marker they break absolutely everywhere. But, when they actually stopped breaking and got out of my Truflight barrel they shot like darts they were very accurate. I may have had a bad batch but I have seen too many breaks with these paintballs with both my friends and myself so I don't think I will buy them again unless I just have money sitting around to try another box. The paints that I prefer mainly are diablo dusk, pmi premium, Rps allstars, afterburner (wasn't as accurate as dusk but no breaks at all in my marker (box of 500). Actually pretty nice paint for Brass Eagle.)

looks like some people get awesome batches and some people get crappy batches. i too changed barrels when i was using the SS, i checked the paint to bore match and it was right too. but like i said earlier to each their own.
chadolf

Yeah, paint just isn't that consistent. I bought a batch of brass eagles once just because i was short on cash. they shot perfectly fine, but the next batch i got was crap.
