A small problem

[FiendAZ]

I purchased a case of Diablo Blaze paintballs. As a test, I dropped some down my tock TL+ barrel and my Taso Eliminator, and they all rolled down my barrel. I took some of my friend's Blaze, did the same thing, and they stuck after about 2 inches, and I could easily blow them out. Anyone else here get a bad batch of Blaze?:eyes:

Did you try and shoot them. I don't think the Blaze were bad. Maybe the bore size is different from the barrel's bore size.

sounds like nothing is wrong. the paintballs are just too small for your barrel. it should shoot fine, get a different type of paintball next time.

My friend as a tl+ and his shoot blaze fine. Sometimes with my cocker a ball would fall out the barrel for no reason.

the midnights are a tad bigger

Yes, I have shot them. They performed horrible in my gun, curving all over the place. I put some of my friends Blaze in and they shot wonderful. I think I just may have caught a bad batch of Blaze :mad:

The blaze could of been old or dented.

I tried them the same day that I bought them.

All Diablo balls have a really small bore size ... i have compared them to almost every paint i could think of and to me diablo balls are tiny .... if you need a bigger ball you should go buy some BE paint and just test them, they are huge .....

But how long of they been sitting in the store?:confused:

Personally, I am not a big fan of the Blaze. They start to get sticky and get this white stuff all over them if they sit for a few weeks, where as the RP Premiums still feel the same. I get a more consistant velocities and flight patterns with the RP (regardless of what barrel i use...and I have 4 now). I tend to find that the Blaze has more balls that are eleptical in shape if you look at their silhouette. While rebuilding a friends gun, the Blaze broke all the time, where as the RP did not. This was strait out of the bag. ewww..................

Well...BE is more of a medium paint, trust me, I know. They rolled clear through my Illustrators stock barrel (and this is month old BE)...THAT is a large bore barrel.

Diablo Blaze is a nice paintball. They were very accurate. I think these paintballs come in various sizes... I was shooting some in winter with a .688 barrel and they were a little big, but shot great.... Then there were times when the paintballs were very small and actually rolled out of the .688. A few batches come from the factory small and a few medium. Just read the first link in the paintball/barrel info thread.

Also Diablo shoots excellent, but doesn't have a long (life time)... meaning that if you don't shoot them for over a month they will go rotten and shoot bad. One time for example, I shot Diablo Inferno and they were very accurate, I had them for a month and then I went out to shoot and they were horrible for accuracy.

The white stuff on you Diablo Blaze I believe is the oil coating on the paintballs drying up... It shouldn't affect the performance... All you have to do is pick up the bag and move it around a little (not quite shaking) and the white stuff will dissapear.

Yeah...I have noticed when you shoot the older Blaze, the white stuff comes out and kind of floats around after you shoot it. It just hangs around the end of the barrel....i refered to it as the Diablo aparitions....

I like Blaze and now that I think about it I don't know what is wrong with them.
