Recommended Barrels: |
Well I used my CP and they worked fine. A Carbon Fiber would be nice because of it self-cleaning capability. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Strengths: |
I just used this paint today and I rather enjoyed them.
~First of all their price can't be beat. I got mine for $35 a case at my local field at Vandenburg Air Force Base here on the Central Coast of California.
~They are pretty much the same as RPS Big Ball except they are cheaper and different colors.
~They have good fill and my yellow fill showed up pretty nice.
~They have a reasonably tough shell and won't break in your hopper or pods.
~They fly accurate as long as they have not to many dimples or unless you have a gunked up barrel or bolt. |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
I did notice some bad stuff.
~When I was dumping them into my hopper i realized that a pair of them were stuck together! No problem, I just parted them but that could cause a break in the gun or jam in the elbow.
~Some may be dimpled but that didn't seem to really make that much of a difference in accuracy.
~When they do break, on rare occasions, they will cause a big mess in the barrel, but so does any paint. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
These balls are reasonably decent. For the price I got them at they can't be beat. The Great America Paintballs I've used are the same price but of a much lower quality. If you can get 'em for under $40 I would say its worth it. |

| Strengths: |
Almost everything!!!! All they are are left over Big Ball from last year!! RPS/PMI sicne they changed the formula of bigball for 2003 they are using the old formula for invader!! |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
dimple after about two or three weeks of sitting in the store!! |
 |
| Conclusion: |
Great Paintball!! I mix these w/ ultra Eval and PMI Premium!! basicly use the brighter Paint as tracers and use Invader as a mask!! people can't see the ball comming for them untill it's tooo late!! |

Recommended Barrels: |
All American Freak barrel kit |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Strengths: |
1.Breaks on contact not in your barrel.
2.I've gotten more hopper hits with this paint than any other. I'm not kidding.
3.This paint shoots straight!
4.A cheap paint with good quality. |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
It's not got the rps quality, freshness wise. Other than that I cannot complain, this paint rocks! |
 |
| Conclusion: |
I definitely reccomoend this paint. If you don't like it than you must have gotten a real sucky batch. I give it an eight because it's not as good as all star or marbs and no paint is worth a ten yet. |

 |
Recommended Barrels: |
J&J works well, not so good in stock kingman barrels |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Strengths: |
- this paint is very inexpensive
- this paint is fairly consistant
- great for rec-play
- good fill
- the dark color is cool nad makes it harder to tell where they come from
- they have a thick shell so they dont break in the gun
|
 |
| Weaknesses: |
- a lot of the balls are dimpled (though it dosent seem to effect performance that much.)
- they have a greasy coating on them
- get a lot of bounces with them |
 |
| Conclusion: |
i think this is great paint all around. it shoots nice and is good quality. i would reccomend it for anyone who plays rec-ball as it is a quality, inexpensive paint. i would seek a higher quality paint if playing turney or other event. |

| Marker Setup: |
Black Dragun, 48/3000 nitro, Evlution 2, CMI Tru flight barrel, J and J ceramic |
 |
Recommended Barrels: |
CMI Tru-flight works great, J and J tends to be a little large for these balls, any barrel mostly with a medium bore fitting |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Strengths: |
The balls have a nice thick shell that breaks on the opponent, not in your gun. The fill is nice and thick, easy to spot. I like the fact the shell is a nice dark titanium color which makes it hardered for the other players to see but the fill is pretty noticable, although I would like it to be a little brighter. They fly straight and make a nice clean break on target. And they dont have that lubricant on them which akes them a little better I think. |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
Not too much to say here, just a great ball at a cheap price. whats not to love? |
 |
| Conclusion: |
I think these will be the balls I buy from now on. They are only $38.99 and if you buy over $100 you get free shipping. Great balls I recommend them to anyone out there who dosnt have a lot of money to spend on fancy looking paintballs that do the same thingas these. |

J.T. Excellerator 4.0 w/ Smart Parts Big Daddy 16" Barrel, 12V Revy |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Strengths: |
They are very inexpensive and look real cool (graphite color shell). Hard for target to see balls coming at them. They shoot extremely straight out of my gun. Hit 24 our 25 from 20 yards, and 21 out of 25 from 30 yards. I've played three straight weekends with them and have yet to have a ball break in the gun in three cases. I prefer the white fill as it is easier to see when it breaks than the orange.
These balls are great and I highly recommend them, especially for rec play. Maybe even in tourny play as they do break on the person (most of the time), not in the barrel. |
 |
| Weaknesses: |
A few do bounce instead of break...but very few in my experience, some might not like the dark color as it is harder to see where you are shooting. Not quite marbalizers or maxims, but very close. |
 |
| Conclusion: |
you CANNOT beat the ball for the price. I'm sold on these balls right now. My whole team is going to them if they continue to prove to be as good as what it seems they are. |
