| The most dependable Rec-paint anywhere, Midnight is economical, without the "mystery batches" that plague the other low-priced brands. Fills wash out, and Midnight runs clean through every kind of marker. Now available in colored shells: Moonshine Yellow, Crimson Red, Aurora Orange, and more. |

| Review: |
Normally i shoot Worr Rec balls at my local field, but this past weekend they had a huge senario game and the field paint of the day was Draxxus Midnight.
I was a little aprehensive at first as I am quite happy with and used to my Worr Rec, but since i had to use it i figured i'd make the best of it.
Of the 3 colors they had (Green shell Aqua fill, Blue Shell Purple Fill, Purple Shell Yellow Fill) i chose the Blue Shell Purple fill.
The paint flew striaght as an arrow and i didn't have a single break on me the whole day. This never happens to me, i usually have at least a few break, and a couple corkscrew on me.
The fill was nice and thick, there's no way anyone is getting away with wiping this stuff.
The only problem i encountered with this stuff, was that when i was shooting it it was very hard to see where it was going, it was almost as if it was invisible paint. When i shoot Worr Rec i shoot pink shell and fill, so i'm used to seeing where my shots are flying so i can correct my aim, i was having a hard time doing it with this paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Fly's great, think fill, just wish i could see it in transit to my target better. |

| Review: |
These are the first paintballs that I really take the time to check out. What I mean is that I took the time to test them to be able to gauge their strengths and weaknesses.
SOLID SHELL: this a good and bad thing. I have never opened a box and found one broken in a bag (5 boxes total). Never had one brake in my pods during a game or transportation. Never broke one in my hopper.
But this is the "bad" side: I've been hit about five times where the balls didn't break. I'd say it was at about 50-60' and I was wearing a turtle neck and a t-shirt. I admit we didn't check the velocity on our markers but I doubt it had a major impact.
THICK FILL: when it's on you, you know. This fill will resist even the most fervent wipers.
WASHES EASY: no residue whatsoever after washing
CHEAP: 30-35$US on most sites, minus the shipping of course.
I just wanted to say that we ( my group) shot about 8000 balls and had 3-5 breaks. All with stock barrels ( spyder extra, pilot, and fenix plus tippman werks). One has a J&J ceramics and no breaks yet. |
|
| Conclusion: |
For the price, I feel that this paint is really the best. I'm a rec player and I don't see what I would need more from a paintball to make me spend more. My rating is based on a quality to price ratio. |

The fills just right thick enough so they can't wipe but thin enough so if you get hit you don't have to spend 5min cleaning it off. And almost always breaks on your opponet. Ive had no breaks yet with this |
|
| Weaknesses: |
None really this is my favortie paint out of the one's ive tried. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very good product and it's nice and cheap. I give it a nine since i havent tried some other paint like the all stars or slam and there suppose to be pretty good. |

| Review: |
I've used midnights for quite awhile now, and other than a bounce or two, i really have no problems. this paint is above average (the average being nelsplat, or something like that) but not quite above average enough to be a tourney paint.
Both my Flatline and my Lucky have been fed midnights, and i have never broken one in my angel, and only a few in my Flatline. The fill is nice and thick, and it has great coverage on the target, so it's very hard to wipe. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall, this is a very good paint for the price. i have never had any problems with dimples or poor accuracy. ultimately, i would say that this paint would be great for recball because of the low price, but it is not quite tourney grade, but that doesn't stop me from loving this stuff. |

| Review: |
i have been using this paint for a while now and i buy it and sell it to my friends too, we just use this paint for rec playing. and i have found it to be great for woods ball and speed ball too, but i think this is the paint to buy if your gonna play rec a lot and its relatively cheap compared to some. |
|
| Conclusion: |
i would recomend this to anyone who owns a boomstick, the bore sizes match up almost perfectly and it is very accurate. this is also cheap for the money and great rec paint |

STARTED OUT USING PMI PREMIUMS AND NELSON GOLD BALLS, WHICH ARE IN THE SAME PRICE RANGE, BUT ONCE I TRIED THE MIDNIGHTS I NEVER WENT BACK TO THE OTHERS....WE PLAY STRICTLY WOODS BALL HERE WHERE I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND THEY PREFORM GREAT IN ALL CONDITIONS....I USED THEM ALL WINTER AT BELOW FREEZING TEMPS AS LOW AS 5* AND THEY STILL PREFORMED WELL...... |

A GREAT BALL AT A GOOD PRICE AND CONSISTENT QUALITY |

Its got all the newbs saying its bad |
|
| Review: |
I read all the reveiws and the easiest way to tell the newbs from the real players is the newbs call this paint bad. They probably just pick it up off the ground and use it. Ive gone through nearly 5 cases and i have'nt had a problem. Out of 5 cases i havent had any break in the barrel so the newbs need to learn about ported barrels and bore sizes
(This paint is .689). |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this paint if your using a halfway decent gun. If your using a basic gun get basic paint. Its at a great price |

| Review: |
I was out one fine afternoon at one of my local paintball fields, and they were only selling Draxxus Midnight. I decided to give it a try. I'm on the field, and right when I get to my bunker, I have an open shot on someone. I open up, and the paint goes everywhere, but where I wanted it to.
Strengths - It's really cheap paint. Even if you buy it at a field
I think the best part about this paint, thought, is that when you hit someone, you know it. Even when they try to wipe, it will stay on there, and they'll get in trouble for wiping.
Weaknesses- It curves. See opening rant for details.
It's shaped kinda like an egg. That's probably (most likely) the reason for the curves, but it's still annoying. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you can, try and spend the extra 10 bucks to get better paint, but this is ok. It's not nearly as bad as Severe Atmosphere or Brass Eagle Afterburner. |

| Review: |
Well, my local shop usually stocks rec-sport and i've been pretty happy with the results of it, but lately they haven't been able to get rec-sport and stocked midnight instead. I personally thought it was cool cause they had a wicked name, and a really cool box, so i coughed up and bought a case. I since i liked it when playing at the field there.
I've shot about a bag (500) of these so my review will be based on the results of that and a few drop tests on my hopper from my case.
Accuracy: these fly pretty straight, the only inaccuracy was not the paints fault (inconsistency of co2). It seems just as good if not better than rec-sport and a heck of alot better then the XO crud i'm forced to shoot at different field nearby
Shell: The ones i've shot at my local field were a red shell white fill so they were easy to see and you could tell easily when someone was hit.
Thickness: These break on target, not in your gun, very nice engineering
Dimples: There were a few dimples on the paint i was shooting but they shot straight enough even with the dimples. i was shooting about a 6 inch spread at 50 feet with my J&J ceramic.
Price: These are fairly good priced, about 5 dollars more than the rec-sport i'm used to, but way less than X-ball which my local shop stocks as well. well worth the few extra bucks
Color: The bag i've shot was red shell white fill, but the case i picked up was white shell white fill, so i don't know how easy it will be to see in the air. but the white shell doesn't seem to affect the eye in my hopper in any way. feeds just as well with any other paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great paintballs, i bought em cuase they sounded really cool. there really nice and work great in my gun. the blow/roll test passed 10/10 in my J&J ceramic so its really good size wise.
What else can i say? if your looking for a cheap rec ball paint that gives the performance of a high quality ball, buy it. I give it a 9 since its not perfect, but dang close. |
