in refreance to paintballs they are talking about factory seconds. They are paintballs that were imperfect for some reason. Perhaps the shpae was a little of or something was wrong with the batch. They are sold at a discount cause they suck. Ay least as a rule of thumb they suck and/or inferior to their standard product.

nope nope nope, seconds are messed up or deformed so thats why they call the seconds. They run a SECOND batch using the left over materials from the first run. Now youve got like a 50/50 chance of how theyll turn out. I use seconds alot and they work great. However the seconds i use cost 40.00 a box and are blaze seconds. The most impostant thing to remember when buying seconds is to open a box and inpect the balls before buying.

I used some Diablo seconds, and they were great ... there were maybe a handful out of 2000 that were out-of-round or had some other problem, like they weren't full of paint, but as a whole, the case rocked ... that's not to say that a the case behind that one was full of crappy balls ... it's a gamble as to whether any will be OK or not.

exactly........you can get 98 degree seconds paintballs for like 30 i think, which is basically dropping liquid paint in your marker and shooting.......why not just get direct hits

not if he is buying diablo blaze seconds bc they cost $50.00 new, but i think he buys them at a store so they are probably alot more than that
