Hey you guys, I was wondering what most of you guys shoot with your paintball markers and how accurate they are. Soon i will be doing a test on how accurate certain brands and types of paintballs are. I will only be testing 3 brands, so name a few that you guys think i should try at least. Thanks

Post away

I shoot Zap spank I can get them for 32 bucks a case at fristcall.com but that is if you buy 4 cases (includes free shipping)

They shoot great for the barrel I'm using right now I've tried them on my neighbors Dye barrel and have choped a few balls, but that was my guns fault I was haveing troubles for it. If you want to try some lower end cheaper balls for your test I would try these

http://www.zappaintball.com/paintball_matrix.htm there is the site for you

i'd say RPS Evil, Zap Chronic(i've never tried it, just heard its good), and whatever the highest end diablo/draxxus is(i know i've shot em before, just don't remember the name offhand

and go to www.automags.org and look at tom kaye's tech tips, read his articles on accuracy...you may also want to check out warpig's closed bolt article

Draxxus Midnight, Bigball, Marbs...etc.

If your talking just brands try RPS, Diablo, and Zap.

Unfortunately...I am cheap so I usually buy the cheapest paint. Which in my case at my local store they sell Draxxus Rec-Sport for cheap. I've had no problems with it so far. :)

RPS, DraXXus, and Zap are the three brands to go with

i just think its hard to clean and hard to get a hold of. you might want to try and use one high end paint, mid level paint and low end paint.

All Stars, Evil, Ultra Evil. I have my doubts about All Stars.

Yes, that's true, he did. He did a pretty good job I might add. ;)

not bad. not bad at all. too bad i don't like ordering paint. too much trust in the delivery method. it ain't glass but it's still a b!$%# if it arrives in less than pristine condition. store-bought paint only. i can get doms for $40-50 a case, depending on it's "freshness" (after 3 to 4 weeks after arrival they knock the price down).
