gaston gavrage Thursday, November 30th, 2006 Period of Product Use: 1 year 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: Various Draxxus paint, Brass Eage, VL Heavy Metal Marker Setup: Spyder Fenix ACS 14'' SP barrel Pure Energy 68/4500HP dye stickys for e-spyders Recommended Barrels: big bore, even accurate barrels wont help these Strengths: -Doesn't chop a whole lot -Cheap Weaknesses: -blue's hard to see -smells BAD -doesnt burst when hit -stains -greasy shell Review: I bought one case (2000) of these because im on a small budget, and i knew how they smelled because a friend had these before, it's gross but you get what you pay for. Anyway i didnt chop alot, maybe a couple because i was going fast with an older gun, they didnt burst alot which sucks, and the blue is hard to see because its dark, but the fill is creamy, so its hard to wipe, and even if you managed to get it all off it stains so it'll screw over people that wipe (that's good because wiping is cheap and for losers). I shot a tree in my backyard last year with these and there is still grease stains on it, how messed up is that? I think they use old french fry grease from McDonalds to make the paint...so dont wear anything good if ur playin with these turds (ie. nice jersey, pants). Last but not least these are SEVERELY inacurate, they veer off after like 20 feet, and i mean VEER, they suck for woodsball and speedball you might get lucky. Conclusion: Only buy these if you're desperate and play just for fun as in not tourneys or serious rec ball.

Derik Friday, December 26th, 2003 Period of Product Use: Only tested 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 2 years Similar Products Used: 32* team colors.......good comparison jt usa freedom........freedom is not quit as good as this brass eagle......brass eagle is way worse Marker Setup: a Kingman spyder e99 stock with a 16 in 32* nyte stikk barrel and a 12 volt hopper with x-board, 20 ounce co2 tank and smart parts on/off valve......................soon to have regulator, shocktech superfly delrin bolt,new drop foward Recommended Barrels: i used a 32* nyte stikk, any barrel is a medium to large bore should work Strengths: shoots straight, none broke in barrel yet Weaknesses: none yet but i have only tested them, shell seemed a little slick Review: this paint seems to be good, i do not like that it comes in a plastic container because if u do not totate them often they get dimples easily. these shoot straiter than jt freedom, i loaded about 50 of these in my hopper, put my gun on 3 burst with the speed set to 7 pbs. with the freedom i had 1 break and with these no breaks and they went straiter. i just got my spyder e99 and i have to file the spring down because it is shooting over 300 fps with the velocity down. so theses paintballs were being shot harder then they are made for and still did not break. now these are not as good as marbalyzers or midnights but they are a good paint i just wish they would put them in a bag of 500 Conclusion: all in all decent paintballs i would recommend them strongly but i would recooment draxxus diablo or rps over these.

redweezinpepper Sunday, July 16th, 2006 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 2 of 3 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: Less than a month Similar Products Used: Monster Balls, some Field Paint Marker Setup: WGP Trilogy Pro SF, 72/3k Pure Energy, Viewloader Tripod Strengths: Cheap Filled with Paint Weaknesses: Very soft Too big or swollen, because some got stuck in .689 barrel Review: Maybe it was just my experience, but it was an awful one. I had a pretty good experience with Monster Balls, despite the mediocre rating, so I figured I'd give these a try. These paintballs totally ruined my day. I would literally only get 2-3 shots in a game before the balls would start breaking in the barrel. The balls would come out busted or start curving everywhere, so when I stuck my head out to shoot someone they had free shots at me. Like I said, the Monster Balls were MUCH better than these and those have a poor rating, so that should tell you something about these. Last week, when I used them (Monster), I didn't have one break in the barrel, and just a slight curve. Conclusion: As I told my friends a few times today, I will never use these paintballs again. Maybe if you open up the box at the store to make sure they aren't so soft, you will have a better experience. I am going to spend a little more on some XBall Bronze, since those have a really good rating and reviews on here, and I will probably stick with those if they work out.

beans001 Sunday, September 17th, 2006 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: Proto Darts- Better Draxxus Midnights- Better Premiums- Better Marbalizers- Better Marker Setup: Spyder Electra, CP drop forward, CCM low rise feed neck, Halo hopper, HPA tank Recommended Barrels: No barrel will improve the accuracy of these paintballs Strengths: None Weaknesses: Oily Shell Terrible Smell Soft Shell Waxy staining fill Review: I was going to buy some marbalizers, but my local paintball shop was closed. I decided to go to the local sports store and just get some regular paint. I saw a case of Zap and decided that they would be fine for playing some recball at my friends house. I got home and opened the case to check for breaks, but found out the paintballs smelled terrible. I first thought the terrible smell was somehow coming from the plastic tub, but I was extremely wrong. The next day I was trying to offload them to my friends as quickly as possible. The paintballs also have a oily shell which I first thought was from a paintball break in the bag, but I was wrong again. They also have a soft shell that barely breaks on anything. At the end of the day we were finding them stuck halfway onto small branches throughout the forest. Finally the fill is terrible. It is waxy and stains clothing. Conclusion: Do not buy these paintballs. They are the worst paintballs I have ever played with. Rating: 1 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

supersam08 Friday, July 30th, 2004 Period of Product Use: 3 months 1 of 4 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: Rps Superswirl- about even Blue Streak- zap are heaven compared to these Marker Setup: 98 custom smart valve J&J ceramic 14" GTA double trigger 32* coiled remote 20 oz CO2 Recommended Barrels: Ceramic all the way Strengths: Great price Fly straight no breaks (in barrel) pretty colors :) Weaknesses: I havent found any yet... hope I dont Review: I love using this paint, plain and simple. I have gone out every weekend for three months using these (equals about six cases), and have not broke one (I think its because i know my guns capabilities). My friends ran out of balls so i cracked a new case of 1500 for 25$ and we all 8 used them and no one broke a ball. Alec (as if you know him...) was using Big ball and he actually said "those were sh*t compared to these". Tears welled.... They come in orange and pink he he he.... I love using orange paint ( the only color i can actually see right, cuz im so called color blind...). Well anyway this paint is great, dont believe negative people who use a gravity and try to shoot 589302 bps and get pissed and blame the balls cuz they are retarded. Conclusion: Uhhh buy them.....? Actually nothing gets a ten until they are heat seeking, but this is close... Rating: 9 out of 10 Last edited on Friday, July 30th, 2004 at 6:10 pm PST I found this review   2 Comments - Add Comment

Blwisianboy8969 Saturday, May 26th, 2007 Period of Product Use: Only tested Paintball Experience: 6 months Similar Products Used: Nelson Hot Spots Anarchy (the best so far) Marker Setup: Tippmann Custom Pro Response Trigger Cyclone Feed Stock 11" Werks Barrel (NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED) Recommended Barrels: I have only used my stock Werks barrel for my custom pro. It works fine but doesn't shoot at a good distance accurately. Strengths: Cheap Good Inside Paint Good Container Dark Color Break Weaknesses: Inconsistent Fly Pattern Dimples Review: I like the Zaps better than the Nelson Hot Spots but they still are pretty horrible. They come in a good container which I like to use for my other paintballs. The paint is usually pretty good and visible on contact which I like because it can be seen and not wiped away. They are also cheap at $30 for 2000 balls. The Zaps also break every time they hit. This is a necessity in a paintball. It has to break! And the last good thing is that they usually come in a dark color like black or blue with a bright orange fill. I love this cause then they cant be seen by your opponent until they are hit. The problem with Zaps is that they tend to be weak and they dimple alot. They have a soft shell and that causes them to fly funny. Not every time but alot of the time they will swerve and it sucks when you can't hit the broad side of a barn with a paintball. Conclusion: I recommend these paintballs for just shooting around. If you are just gonna go play or practice with some friends go ahead and buy these. They aren't bad except for the inconsitent fly pattern. But if you are going to play seriously or in a tournament I wouldn't reccomend these paintballs. They don't always fly straight and you need to be able to hit your target in a competative game. So I give these paintballs a 6 because although the pros outweigh the cons they just do not fly straight and to me that means wasted paint, CO2, and being pissed off. A paintball should fly straight!

tippmann98paint Monday, February 26th, 2007 Period of Product Use: 2 years Paintball Experience: 2 years Similar Products Used: Super Swirls, Scorch, Big balls, Hot Spot Marker Setup: I use a 14" Smart Parts Tear Drop on my Tippmann model 98. I just recently added a custom made drop forward. Recommended Barrels: I used a Smart Parts Tear Drop and i don't think i've ever chopped one Strengths: Hard to wipe paint, Decent colors, you get a bucket with it Weaknesses: Sometimes you get a few broke, but who doesn't Review: This is my go to paint. This is basically all I ever use, unless it's not onsale at Dunham's sporting goods. This is my favorite paint by far. It's usually a good price...the paint almost always breaks on impact...and it's hard to wipe. Fill colors are bright, and I usually like the casing to be darker so you can't see the paint coming. I want you to go out without seeing it coming. Conclusion: The paint used by me and my brothers the most...decent priced and good paint.

minx Thursday, February 8th, 2007 Period of Product Use: Less than a month Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: Stingers, Premiums, really cheap paint ($17 bucks /2000), ect. Marker Setup: ion, q lock, reloader b, minidrop, compressed air (4500/68), and bunch of other ups. Back-up Tippmann 98 custom pro, compressed air. Recommended Barrels: .689 Strengths: Nice shell, bright orange fill. Weaknesses: Dark Shell, halo's will have trouble. Review: I got this at the local sporting goods store with a 30% coupon. $21.00 for the case. Yea. They shot just fine. Marked the target with bright orange, makes it easy to see the splat. The fill is not runny, but no one wil call it "thick fill" The balls are consistent in size. There were no shape issues, round and the seam was almost perfect. I had no breaks. the shell is smooth, almost a gloss. Great rec paint. Remember, the shell dark, dark gray. Almost black. If your loader has eyes, beware. Conclusion: It is a good value, and it will provide a great day of play.

ProfessorAmadeu Monday, January 8th, 2007 Period of Product Use: 3 months Paintball Experience: 6 months Similar Products Used: Scorch big ball Marker Setup: Stock Spyder pilot ACS Recommended Barrels: Any kind because no matter what you get it will break theses oval balls Strengths: Only the bright orange paint Oh and using the case for carrying gear Weaknesses: All balls are egg shaped very inconsistent size Some balls have dimples Review: Well I got theses balls on sale for 15 dollars for 2000. I got 3 cases and man am I mad. This paint is terrible! I took it out to look at it and found that most of the balls where oval shaped or that the nicer looking ones had dimples on them. The shell hardness is varied and some are VERY soft and some are VERY hard. The lube on the balls causes them to stick inside your hopper and slows the feed way down. Also I found that they gave me both orange and blue paint. The orange paint is extremely hard and the blue is very soft and feels like it has been sitting in water for a week or two. This is a really bad choice for paint and don't even buy it on sale. Conclusion: No. Just no. This paint is terrible. Rating: 2 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

Peter31193 Saturday, December 16th, 2006 Period of Product Use: 3 months Paintball Experience: 6 months Similar Products Used: x ball (extremely better) monster balls (sadly a little better) worr paint (much Better) Marker Setup: Ion Pro QEV Stage 1 and 2 68 4500 egg Strengths: Cheap Weaknesses: Dippled really easily Got squishy after a while Horrible quality Watery fill Review: i got these because i needed some cheep paintballs for my spyder at the time and they weren't too bad. the next time i went out with them which was like a week later, i think just about all of them had dimples in them. they were also all squishy and the shell had gotten weaker it seemed. Overall they are just bad quality. Conclusion: bad quality. Don't waste your money, you get get a lot better paint for mabey 5 bucks more.
