| Velocity is X.O. Industries field grade paint. Two-tone shells, good fill, proper thickness shell for field use, rental gun use. A good paint for events and team practices. |
|
| Product Availability | |
|
| The X.O. Industries Velocity Paintballs are newer, so they should be commonly available. |

| Review: |
I have been using X.O. brand paints for just about 4 months now and they are among the best paints I have ever shot. X.O. is obviously taking the time to dial in their manufacturing process and QC-ing these balls to VERY exacting standards. I've shot some of their white box paint that puts other brand premium and tournament grades to shame!.
Pricing is good and results on the field are X.O.lent! Get some, you won't believe how good a new paintball brand can shoot. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Excellent pricing, excellent quality, excellent consistency, very very few in-gun breaks. |

| Review: |
I Really like this paint, if i can afford it when i go practise i will always use this. Its good paint and works really good the only bad thing about it are that the fill is kind of thin but i wouldn't say u could just go wiping it and nobody would notice and its pretty hard sometimes, i took 10 shots from 50 yards or more away and they all bounced but then again my clothe were pretty baggy on me and i gotta a thin layer of fat to my advantage.
over all a great price for the money, at $40 dollars canadian i wouldn't think twice about buying it as it works great just doesn't have the real easy breaks sometimes. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this paint, its definately a great paint for its price, accuracy is comparable or better to x-ball bronze-silver however it doesn't quite break as well. |

|
| Review: |
This paint is good, but you need a really small bore barrel. The paint ranges from .685, to .687. This paint is also really hard, so you get a lot of bounces. I saw a ref stand with all his weight on one of these paintballs, and it wouldnt break. These are incredibely round, so they are really accurate, like all X.O paints. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This paint is good, especially for hot days, because it is so hard |

| Review: |
Alright children, story time! ***
So I bought a case of this paint when I bought my A-5, hearing it was good rec/field paint. Me and a buddy built a field in his backyard, and we decided to play 2 vs 3 against 3 friends. He bought a case of PMI and I played with this. So we get out on the field and his first couple hits bounce. Finally when I make a hit on an opponent, the ball breaks, first shot. Next hit, breaks again. Next hit, breaks again. Not once all day (or until I finished off the case) did I have a break. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get the paint, if you dont mind a bit of thin fill or need an alternative to good paint when funds are low. It's worth an 8. |

| Review: |
Velocity paint is really good for practice and open play but I would not reccomend Velocity for tournament play. One of my friends told me that Velocity bounced 15 times on him before one broke. So it may not always be the best paint for a tournament. But other than that it is pretty good paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would definetly buy this paint for practice or just to play for fun. |

| Review: |
I have only used this paint for 1 day and will probably never use another XO product. There were 11 of us playing out of probably 5 different cases of this junk and only one person didn't have problems (he was using a Custom 98 with a stock barrel) with barrel breaks and jams in the feed tube (1 autococker did this at least 10 times).
I have bought crappy white box practice paint and had better luck with it than with this paint. I had a choice between this and the XO Menace paint and obviously made the wrong decision.
I am giving it a 1 because that's how many people out of 10 didn't have problems today... |
|
| Conclusion: |
Will never buy this paint again and will be leery of other XO products in the future if this is an example of their quality... |

| Review: |
If you get a big bore barrel then this paint shoots just as good as any other. It is midgrade and very cost effective for the player strugling for money. I buy this paint usually every weekend or a step up in XO if I can and i have shot all their paint and very product is awesome. I love the paint that this company makes and it has done me good the last month that I have shot it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Helps me to shoot fools, breaks on target and is somewhat big so get a big bore barrel. XO continues to impress me and I am very satisfied so I giving it a deserving 10 out of 10. |

| Review: |
This is some great paint i dont know what complaint you could realy have with this it is a low price paint with high price quality. It breaks in a drop test and on anyone you hit.
The fill is thich and colorfull. The seams on the ball are smooth. The best thing i must say about this ball tho is it is very consistent with its size, you could drop a bag through a bore size and not find a swelled or shrunken ball. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Find it and shoot it |

I shot this paint several different times and it was just AMAZING!!! this paint is awesome compared to the paint i Am forced to shoot during some tournaments(pmi,etc)!!!! GREAT PAINT. I could see this paint being distributed to all major fields bc of its superior quality! from the lowest grade to the highest ther is nothing but consistency and accuracy. Not to mention the seems fill shape weight everything is perfect and i couldn't have asked for a better paintball. |

| Conclusion: |
Great paint great price CAN YA REALLY ASK FOR ANYTHING MORE? |
