Ever since HellFire was unleashed back in 1998, it has delivered more Teams into the winnings than any other paint in the world. When prize money is on the line, top Pro-level Teams choose HellFire for it's intense un-wipeable fills and super brittle shells.

Great shell....breaks on people even at far distances but not in gun. BEST FILL! |
|

This paint is bad for those cheaters out there who wipe. Sorry guys |
|
| Review: |
This is the best paint out there. The fill is even thicker than that of marbalizers. This paint is perfect. The MSRP is 80 bucks a case but I found some for only $55.00!!!!!!!!!!!! BUY IT you will not be sorry! The small bore allows the paint to fly farther and starighter then big bore paint. The only downside to smaller bore is that its harder to match perfectly with single bore barrels. This is why I recommend investing money in a barrel kit. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If your looking for the best quality tourney paint or even want the best when playing rec or woodsball then look no farther and buy this stuff.....you'll love it! |

| Review: |
I was at a local hobby shop and saw they had these on clearance for $45.00. Sweet! These things are filled perfectly, no dimples or overfilling. The shells are thick enough not to break in your gun, but thin enough to break on target. When you are hit, you see a bright orange mark. These paintballs shoot very straight. I got 48/50 in the bullseye at the target range. The bore size was good for all of my barrels. There were no broken paintballs in the box I bought. Also, I tend to dive alot and many other brands of paintballs break in my pods. This is expected, of coure. However, Hellfire does not break in my pods on dives. Many people actually asked me what kind of paint I was using. |
|
| Conclusion: |
No Breaks, Chops
Fill
Straight- Shooting
Good Bore Size
Medium Thick Shells
Perfect Fill Amount
AWESOME! |

| Review: |
I recently tried two cases of this stuff, and it is by far the best paint i have ever shot out of my angel. the first gun i tried it in was the Flatline, i knew it wouldn't work very well, but i did it for the sake of thoroughness. The shell was quite brittle and it broke several times in the Flatline, about 1 out of every twenty. not exactly the best shooting I've ever done.
Next i threw some Hellfire in my angel, and i was amazed. I live in Arizona, where most paint will swell to a huge size as well as sticking together. Hellfire did none of that. i used it the entire day, and of the 2314 I shot, not a single break or curve shot.
As far as accuracy goes, this Hellfire beat my normal paint, Anarchy, hands down, and unlike the Anarchies, this paint was able to survive the entire day of 110+ temperatures without clumping, swelling, or even getting sticky. After the day was over, i inspected the interior of my barrel to discover that it was pristine. Not only had i not broken paint, but this hellfire didn't even dirty my barrel! it looked brand new. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you can find a local store that sells this stuff, and you have a .91 (or about that) barrel, pick this stuff up, you will love this stuff. |

| Review: |
i bought a case of these for 47$ because i had a coupon usally there 57 so i thought i got a deal. i went to the field the folowing weekend and i couldnt belive my eyes! i played woodsball and i long balled so many people! i didnt shoot them 10-15 times jsut once or twice.... before they knew what hit them. they where so mad when they found out a 13 yr old shot them, haha.these are also dead on accurate not 1 curve. i finaly had my first break in my barrel. not the paintballs fault though. i had fallin and got dirt up in my gun so it covered the eyes. Ended up with 25 killes and 6 deaths. which i couldnt belive but its true! i know youll bash me about it but i dont care.
Just because blaze has a higher rating doesnt mean there better. If your gun is low pressure get these you will not be dissapointed.
it is impossible to convince you on the internet though... |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you can afford it get it perod. 111111110000000000000000 out of 10
but i cant do that so 10/10 |

|
| Review: |
All and all a good paintball. The fill is nice and thick, hard to wipe. I have yet to have problems with inconsistency in shape or size. The only problem I have had with the paint is sometimes it is too brittle. There are times when the paint is so brittle that my halo pops it the hopper, or forces it down enough to crush one paint ball with the one above it (but at least it shows my detents work ). I have no way of knowing the age of the paint before I buy it so that could be a factor. |
|
| Conclusion: |
All in all a decent paintball. I give it a average rating because I feel that 10's are given out way too freely. |

| Review: |
Normally I wouldn't EVER spend $70 on a case of paint, but hey it's Draxxus, i'll give it a shot. When I received the paintballs, there were a few breaks, but after a bit of cleaning up in one bag I was ready to go (Note: cleaning the paint is a bizzznatch!)
The paintballs shot nice and consistent and not one paintball broke in my A-5. Theres nothing really special about these paintballs just personally preference. I personally would rather save about $7 and spend it on All Stars instead. But if Draxxus floats your boat then well, I guess there you go. Quality made sense since it's price is around the high priced paintballs. The expensive price made me ration my paintballs =| |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you crave really really good paint and have a really really stuffed wallet then sure go ahead.
My two cents.....over and out

| Review: |
I may change my tune once I shoot the rest of the case but tonight I ran 500 rounds through my marker - with a very finnicky Q-loader no less - and didn't have a single gun break.
What I did have was a ROPE of paint hurtling down-range, impacting one on top of another. I also shot X-Ball Bronze and Silver queued up right after the Hellfire (Q-loader lets you load balls sequentially - first 40 Hellfire, 30 and 30 Bronze and Silver). The Hellfire was noticeably more consistent at all ranges.
I will be buying this paint into the foreseeable future unless it gives me a reason not to.
BTW: I used the Lava Orange fill and shell. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Tune your marker. Make it as consistent as possible. Get a good barrel kit or a PPS Brass. Buy a box of Hellfire and give it an honest workout.
If that's too much work for you, buy white box paint. |

| Review: |
All I can say is Wow. I took a couple cases of this paint down to World Cup with me, and if was awesome. I really noticed this while on the National field. I was shooting at a bunker and I shoot alright fast. I put about 30-40 balls on the same corner of the bunker with a spread of MAYBE 4-6 inches max...
It also breaks on people which is a good thing when playing tournys :-) |
|
| Conclusion: |
Excelent paint, just a tad bit expensive to dont use it at rec ball. I will be shooting this at tournys for a while... |

| Review: |
I used these for the first time at my field in December. The weather was around 42 degrees and very wet after a few days of rain. When I got my case I opened it up and quickly realized they were pretty old and dimpled.( I assumed they were from the IAO the previous July) I wasnt very mad because I got them at a dicount price that day. When I went to chrono/test them out they shot well even though they were old so I didn't care. When we started I got a couple people and there is NO mistaking a hit. These are the brightest balls I've ever seen. It was an overcast day and I could still pick out a hit from halfway across the field. After 5 hours of playing I had acquired a whole new case from other kids who had leftovers. They sat in my basement for another month before I played again and after that they still worked great. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great quality, good fill, and durable. If I have the chance again at any field I'll definatly choose these. I'm giving it an 8 because I do like the Inferno better and the is probably much better paint out there I havn't used. |

These are very good paintballs. One of the best you can buy today. There are no dimples in them, they are very round and accurate. If your trigger happy you shouldn't buy these paintballs, buy the cheapest ones you can buy cause your not going to hit anything anyway. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very pricey if your not trigger happy! |
