hey guys check out the review..
Sneak Preview: Direct Hit Paintballs 3-27-01 action pursuit games by jonathan berstein editor.
Your ezine editor was one of the first to order and try the new
"Direct Hit" paintballs from http://www.paintballgeek.com, but was very
skeptical about the company's claims -- that this small-medium bore,
VERY sticky and hard-to-wipe paint is, at under $40 per case
retail, good paint. The case of paint had 2,000 balls; the
shell was pink/purple and the fill was pink, thick and pasty.
It doesn't wipe into fabric.
In the trial, about 200 balls were shot through each of three
markers (Bushmaster BM2K2, Epic and Piranha), using three
different barrels (Dye Excel, 32 Degree Carbon Fiber, Piranha stock).
There were no ball breaks. At approx. 60 feet, through all barrels
and markers, at slow fire and rapid fire, the paint consistently
stayed in about an 8-12 inch circle, with all indications being
that the differences were attributable to the marker/barrel
combinations versus the paint.
If you've tried this paintball, let us know how it performed for you,
what marker you used, and what color shell/fill you shot. Email
