Is powerball a good paint, will it work in a PMI Razzor barrel?

PowerBall is pretty good for me. Then again I haven't tried marbalizers, Diablo, or Proball paint. So honestly I can't really say. I went through 1000 rounds and had no breaks on my gun

All of the fields around here are field paint only so I use what ever they see fit to buy:(

I like Marbs, but I'm gonna try a case of Blaze this weekend. I've also used PMI Premium. I'll let you know what my favorite is next week.

I have used Nelson and BE and PMI Premium. The PMI are da sheyot. My friends and I have went through about 4 cases of these things and have had maybe 20 ball breaks if that!! I believe the reasoning for that is that these balls are a little tough and they sometimes dont break on the target. But, Id rather that be the case then break in my gun!!

Anyone know the difference between Diablo Hellfire and Inferno?
I've heard they're both comparable to Marbs.

Inferno is comparable to Marbs, and Hellfire is like ALlstar. I mainly use All star and Hellfire, since my lp gun can take it without breaking the brittle shell.

too bad i was the only one to vote for them sofar :(
I use a lot of paint, so i look for good cheap stuff, and ordering off the internet isn't my thing for paintballs. At my local proshop, i can get them for $60 for 2000, thats pretty good. I have only had 20 ball breaks, and i've shot about 15 cases of them sofar. I would reccomend them to anyone who uses a hella lot of paint and needs it cheap!

PMI Premium is the field paint that the field I go to uses, what can I say? It is realy good. The only bad thing is that the dont ALWAYS break because they have a realy hard shell. And when they dont break, they hurt like a B*TCH. On my first game I was shot in the bum with a 3 round burst of them, none broke! That is a bad example to set for a newbie!

I get Marbs, 2000 for $65 at IIsports in LA. I have shot about twenty cases and only had 4 ball breaks. If your in the area you might want to try I&I.

I've had the same thing happen when using marbs, I've even watched them bounce off a hard earthen bunker. Think of the welt that would leave ... OUCH!
I've had good luck with Diablo Blaze so far, so i've got another case coming in for this weekend.
I'd also like to try Kickin' Metallix and JAVA Supreme, I hear they are both good paint, but I can't find any stores within three days shipping distance to order them from. I'd also like to try some Team Colors ... guy lit me up with some a couple of weeks ago, I mean like eight or nine hits, and I was saying to myself as the paint was raining down "This stuff looks purty good!" :eek:

Is Big Ball any good? Where did you get it?
TLplus84
02-28-2001, 12:25 PM
i thought that Marbs were the greatest paintabll till i used ALl Star..and i mean wow..the shell looks pretty cool, and they are guaranteed to break on anything..bad thing is that the shell is so brittle, if you don't have a low pressure gun, i guarantee these will break in your barrel...i've seen a couple like dissintigrate in midair..but they are great..my favorite paitnablls..

I usually use marbs. I have had great luck with them. No breakage in the barrel, and very few have bounced off my target without breaking.

I use marbs but they are so damn expensive. They are probably the best paintballs out there are but the price draws a lot of people away. I haven't tried anything else in my gun yet but I have gone through 2 cases and have only broken 2 balls.

This is the barrel that I have besides my stock barrel and I need to know what a good, cheap, durible paint is. I have heard proball and all-star is good for my barrel but I am not to sure about any of it.

There seems to be a lot of votes for something most people don't like, 17(RPS Marbalizer)to 22(other brand). They must be good even know they don't break on people all the time.

I like marbs, but my field is FPO and unfortunately it's Zap Bannana Banshee. I've found the size to be pretty consistent, and havent had any deformities, but the paint balls are just so hard, you can bounce em hard enough so they come back up to eye level off a concrete floor and they dont break. Combine that with a 230 fps indoor limit, and you gotta hit a person a few times :) Not bad paint, shell is just a little thick for my liking (gotta use it though, because rental guns dont shoot thin shell paint so good )

I rather take extra time and hit someone a few extra times then, have to take extra time cleaning paint out of my gun. :)

I just bought a 1000 case of PMI Premiums, I hope they work good!
