| Review: |
let's start with the package. It alone sucks. It's soft plastic, so if you get a bag of 200, expect to put maybe 50 in your barrel, the rest will be broken. When I got mine they were drowning.
One bag didn't have any breaks, and it was still just as wet. It was the grease. The only reason it didnt have breaks is because it was on the very top of the box of 2000.
They call them ICE paintballs so u'd think that they would be good in winter. WRONG! They are way too sensitive, so most break in your barrel. The rest have huge seams that direct the ball way off course. In a 3 hour time period i only hit 2 guys because the balls were so bad (the 2 i hit I was right behind, hitting them with semi at about 8 bps - a raccoon couldn't have missed.)
Even if none break in your barrel (which i seriously doubt) you'll still have to squeejee often because of the amount of grease these have. They suck worse than a lot of people's mothers here. |
|
| Conclusion: |
The moral of the story - if you're mad at some1, dont even give these to them they're so bad. Like i said before, the dirt clods are more accurate.
This is lucky that PB reviews don't give 0's |

| Review: |
I was using my dragunfly one day with heavy snow and it was about 28 degrees outside. I was using evil paint(sooooo nasty, but some of the best paint.) The evil was being very picky about the weather, so I went and got this. I filled up my hopper, and I shot one ball at the chrono, CHOP- or at least thats what I thought. I strip the gun, and all the ball did was break in the barrel. This process repeated many times, I only shot maby about ten balls in a row befor the paint broke. I took the rest of the paint out of the case, and almost every ball had dimples, huge seams, or were out of round. I was so mad, I threw away all the paint exept for one bag. I went over to my freind who was using brass eagle paint(which always gives us both problems) and compared the two. Brass eagle blew it away. Yeah, this paint is that bad. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this paint if you are a person that loves to be frusterated by crappy paint, chops, ball breaks and horrible accuracy. Bring a squeegie! |

| Review: |
These balls are horrible. You have to ben stupid to give them at least a 5 out of 10. No offense, but I mean these things are absolutely HORRIBLE. I can see why they are cheap. I'd reccomend brass eagle over these, and I never thought I'd ever recomend brass eagle. They chop 4 out of 10 times. That means that close to half of them with break. They are wet on the ouside, and if you can get them out of your barrel, they are inaccurate. They are just a down right horrible paintball. They are by far the worst I've ever used. Maybe some one else has had worse, but I think these are the worst.
My first ever shot with my own paintball gun broke in my barrel because I was using these paintballs. Thats how pathetic they are. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Do not get these paintballs. They are horrible. I reccomend any of the paintballs listed above. |

| Review: |
I have a sponsor with core so i get the paint for way cheap, so i love this paint. even if it is at full price it is a pretty good deal for 50 bucks. not many companies will sell premium paint for 50 bucks. play with it in the winter because that is what it is made for. they dont contract in the cold. i dont know how they do it but it works! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Cheap reliable and accurate.. all together a great deal! |

| Review: |
Well I ordered 2 cases of these from Paintball Online ( the last order they will ever get from me) Always willing to try new product and the description on these is that they are some of the freshest paintballs. ( what a joke) Packaging was but ok I expect maybe a broken ball or two but every bag but 2 had broken paint... Looking closer notice the seams and dimples... and indents in the balls themselves. I tried using the 2 bags that had no breaks in them but never got one out my barrel every one of them broke as they were coming out then one jammed inside.. I threw the rest of the bag away and gave the other one away. I called paintball online about the broken and dented paint but they replied they do not take returns on paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Do not use these as they are some of the worst paintballs I have ever seen. |

| Review: |
i bought these from a local shop and then the next day shot them. i found them to be nice and round, not that bad of seems. they shot like arrows out of my ego and i massacred people with them :) !!!! i got a few bounces that i would of rather they have broken but what can u say they are paintballs, and it depends on what they hit and how many Sweet shirts the noob ur shooting has on:) . |
|
| Conclusion: |
I found that they were grate for the price that i got them for. they shot like arrows and they did what they are supposed to do. i would suggest them to anyone looking for paintball that are better than the rest. |
