Anythingextreme had a "free shipping on all rps and pmi ball" that just ended so I can't find a place with cheap shipping ($5 around that). Name websites please! Also I play woodsball so I don't need 3-5 cases and I don't have a paintball shop within 30 miles.:( I play around once a month because I'm low on $$.
I already have a good idea of what paint to buy 1.xball, 2.stingers they're cheap and 3.possibly scorch). Is walmart a good place to buy paint?

Xball is the best out of those three imo. I buy my paint in bulk you can usually get a good deal but you have to be able to store it good. I personally have like 100 or so pods that I store my paint in.

I said I don't want to buy in bulk (money but donations are accepted any size pm me for info). Also where do you keep that many pods of paint before you go to a game (in the freezer, cooler where)?

30 miles isn't that bad. Some people have to drive a couple hours to get to a shop.
Anways...firstcallpaintball has some good deals, but you have to buy in bulk, so get 4+ people together and split 4 cases and you'll get free shipping. If you're intent on not buying in bulk there's really only 2 choices: drive to your shop or pay huge shipping costs.

I don't drive so my parents don't like driving all over the place. with gas going up it will be very strict to almost strict needs. Does anyone know the avg. cost of scorch at walmart?

If you can't afford gas, you can't afford to ball, sorry but it's da troof.

Unfortunately he's right. Especially canadians have this problem, they have even less shops/fields and its a larger land mass :P

It's not that we can't afford it. It is that my parents want to save money and don't like driving me alover the place. Also can we get back on track.

Scorch can be found at Wal-Mart for about $10 per 500 paintballs. It's a good deal if that's your only option.

Scorch is by far the best. It's also about the cheapest. I've tried just about every Wal-Mart paint available, and scorch is the only one I will buy.

scorch doesnt compare to super swirls, super swirls usually have no dents, whereas scorch usually have 10 or more abag dented. scorch makes up with a hard as rock shell. scorch is decent paint, though. scorch will stain stuff...
super swirls are the only mid-grade paint i buy, slightly lower quality than marballizers, i think marballizers are super swirls that go through a better sorting process lol...

Super swirls are more expense than big ball or scorch. I just bought scorch (1000) and going to try it this weekend. So I looked at them and 86% (out of 500) of them run through my barrel without stoping is that good or bad? Also they aren't miss shaped or have dimples so I'm guesing thats good but what do you meen by dent (becuase I see the dents of where the shells are connect)? I thought this was cool/funny I got in one bag of "500" I acually got 512 (yes I counted:D ). Yes, I agree that they are hard, becuase it took throwning HARD it at the cement to break it.
I am a math wiz also I'm absest with paintball.

for a ball size you should be able to blow a ball out of the barrel like a blow gun. if it rolls out it is too small for the barrel. too big and they break and stick. dents are dimples like on a golf ball. thats bad though. usually

They swell and the shells get really soft.
