ok the other day i was crawling up this snake on the right tape. all of the sudden i get hit about 5 times on the left side of my body, i check myself and none break so i pickup a few of the balls that bounced off of me and continue the game. after the game i walk over to the ref and show him the balls that bounced off. the weird thing was was that niether of us could break them no matter what we did. we ended up using a pocket knife to cut them open and the shell was a quarter inch thick at least! has any one had a similar experience with JT paint?

Did it hurt a lot? They may have been frozen.

A quarter (1/4") thick? Good God! That must of hurt! I have had some PMI Premiums with thick shells...but not 1/4. How was there any room for paint inside?

It must have been some bad paint because I cut a JT ball and a Proball ball and the JT ball had a thinner shell. So it must have been. I feal bad for you guys though because all those people got hit by bad paint:eek: and that guy didn't get one person out:laugh:

JT paint breaks fine for me. It is even my #1 paint choice for my All American. They shoot well.

I have used the JT's before and they shoot nice for me.
Fear the Outlaw-JT paintballs are made by RPS.:rolleyes:

I know RPS makes them but brass eagle still owns JTs and anything involved with brass eagle is crap what i'am saying is that be is most likely infleuncing the way rps makes them:eek:

you guys are all wrong. Just because brass eagle owns JT doesn't mean that JT products are crap. And anyways, the Paintballs are made by RPS, and so BE has no influence on how the paintballs are made. I shoot JT Maxim and they fly straighter then anything else i've shot so far. You guys have to understand that paintballs will never be perfect, never! sure Diablo paintballs are probably the best tournament grade paintballs on the market, but from time to time even dialbo paint has a few bad batches.

but you must agree (even though brass eagle doesnt efect the quality of jt merch) that brass eagle stuff is crapy.

hehe, brass eagle paintballs... i have shot some before and once i actually did get a good batch (though my AA barrel, not a single break) but, if i ever had the chance to get a good batch of Be paint again... i would still pass though. hehehe
