| Review: |
I used that brass eagle stuff for a little while, and then happened upon Karnage. Paintball is popular down where I live, but suprisingly, not a whole lot of places to purchase paint or air. I can honestly say I have never had a chopped ball in by 98 or procarbine. Got a couple viewloaders and brass eagels, who have chopped maybe one or two per game (for the whole day). But they chopped every other one of that Crap that has been sitting in the wal-mart store for who knows how long. The price for Karnage is also $1more than the other stuff. Where I am, I get 500 for $11. for 2000 for $29.99. Plus the place I get 'em at guarentees no broken ones in the bag. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Only a fool would stick with that low end junk. Its worth the extra $ to enjoy a trouble free game. |

| Review: |
Great paint! Only 40 bucks at paintballgear! Bought 'em cuz they were out of Xball gold. Stay away from the Karnage bite, terrible stuff. Used 2,000 rds without any problems. Smooth seam, cool shell colors, thick enough shell for woods ball, thin enough for tourney (although you might want something nicer for tourney, but you could use it and do well), good fill. Bags had some dimpled balls, some leakers and a couple of really fu*ked up balls, but other than that, they were alright. Overall, great paint that performs well and is priced well. $40 bucks is about right for these balls, probably would not pay any more than $45 or so. What more can be said? |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great paint, will buy more (if I can't get Xball) |

| Review: |
I just shot these in a tourney last weekend and was very impressed. The shell was very consistant in size and roundness with a nominal seam. The white fill I shot was very visible, especially on black pants everyone seems to wear these days. Chronoing on the field one game they shot 3 280's in a row, that's consistant enough for me. Price was only 55 for a case, which is what I use to pay for rec balls! I am kind of a sucker for split color shells too, they just look cooler to me. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I really like this paint, competive price/grade, you can't go wrong with that. Look out pmi |

| Review: |
I found a guy in my area that sells Karnage Tear for $30-35 a case, so I jumped on the deal. I had heard good things about the paint, and I wanted to test it for myself, and for the price I couldn't of been more happy.
The paint has a very thick fill that you can see from across the field, and on top of that I didn't have any bounces all day. Every shot was almost ball on ball and I had no chops all day. I would recommend this paint to anyone looking to pick up some great paint for a good price. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall very pleased, pick some up!! |

| Review: |
I work at a field paint only field in cali, and Karnage is the only paint we sell. We sell all of their line, from the brown box practice paint, to the blue box (rip) tournament grade and all boxes and fills in between. This paint is absoloutely awesome. Karnage red box offers many different fills and shell color combinations, five I can think of right of the top of my head. I've tried all sorts of paint, from low end wal-mart stuff to high end tournament grades, and I have to say, this gives you the best bang for your buck. I get a ridiculous deal (Our field is on a military base, so it's non-profit and I get red box for 32 dollars) but I've seen it on the outside for 40-45 dollars a case, which compared to the price of paint that I consider to be at least as good, it's about 20 dollars below what it's price shold be. The shell is nice and thick, never have problems with it breaking in the barrel, but at the same time, I've never had problems with it bouncing off my targets. The two color shell is really nice, and it's pretty much the same fill as the blue box tournament grade, thick and nasty, and if you get hit, it will leave a huge bright mark, even after your opponent tries to wipe it off, but again, at the same time, it doesn't stain and washes out very easily. Oh, I almost forgot. since I work at the field, I get kind of impulsive about running out of paint and at times I kind of get stocked up on it. I've had open cases of this paint sitting in my closet (controlled temperature) for a month before, only rolling the bags over maybe once a week, and when I finally took it out to play, not a single problem with it. Come on, what other paint can do that. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I know I get a very good deal individually, but even at the paintball stores, this paint is a very affordable bright filled paint that I have even used in tournaments with nothing but awesome results. I know Karnage isn't very well known in some areas, but if you see this paint definately pick it up. The blue box tournament grade from Karnage is also an awesome product, but I feel the red box is just as good and anywhere from 20-40 dollars cheaper, and the blue box doesn't have a split color shell. Do the right thing and give this box a try, you won't be dissapointed. |

| Review: |
These paintballs shoot so good they fly straight and break on whatever you hit. i guess this is a good thing and a bad thing since they regularly break on brush but they also will break on that cargo pocket that's hanging out of the bunker your shooting at. cant really say too much more than that. |
|
| Conclusion: |
What can i really say if you can find a place to get some i don't think you will be disappointed |

| Review: |
After reading the reviews here, I took the chance at trying some of these at a scenario this weekend. I used the orange fill with yellow/orange shell for visibility purposes.
I bought these on recommendation they would be good for large bore barrels, this isn't the case. A good medium bore would be better, as the paint is small to mid sized. They seemed to be in good shape, minimal dimpling and good crisp feel. I did notice that some paint was smaller than others, not a lot of consistency for ball size. Some fit te wide bore nicely, others were WAY smaller. A medium bore would have cut the difference, but I chose to stick to the Stiffi.
On-field performance I felt was average. I couldn't see the splats for the most part, even though the paint was bright orange. It's also hard for me to tell what did and did not break as it was a typical scenario game. Many people decided that they didn't have to leave, or if they did they could just yell "medic" and they were live again.
But I will say that I shot 3/4 case without a squeegee on me in the field and I never had a problem. I had some roll-out issues, but that's to be expected when you mismatch bore size. I did go out of my way to crank out a huge rate of fire a few times, and the paint handled it well in the cyclone feeder.
Shot spread I blame on bad bore size as well, while on target the paint would travel 6" - 12" from main target at long ranges of 150'. I had to use a lot of paint sometimes to get the ball to go where I wanted it to go at close ranges too, but I blame that on bore issues. But I could put paint where I wanted it to go without a problem for the most part. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I wold recommend this as a good mid-range ball for people with mechanical blowbacks. It's not a tourney ball, it's got a harder shell good for sawing through scrub brush. For the price I paid for it ($36 a case) I certainly won't complain. It wasn't spectacular, but it wasn't as bad as some I've used in the past.
I wish I could give it a 7.5, but I'll round up to an 8 / 10. |

| Review: |
The first Time I used this product was when the store that I bought my supplies at had try them instead of my prefered Nitro Duck First Choice I was pleased that this paint was just as good. They do have a price range for all players which is nice and all three are a great product. I prefer this one in particular because the shell is though but breaks well on your target. and if you chop one or have the rare barrel break, it is easy to clear from your barrel do to the thick fill. Also it doesn't stain Like Nelson and some others. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its good and is comparible with a the upper end paint and is a good buy and is easy to find in the midwest. I give it an 8 because I just like Nitro Duck better for some reason, but its really just as good. |

| Review: |
Karnage has a Winter Fill Formula, which is why I decided to buy these paintballs. We've been playing woodsball in freezing to 40 degree weather lately and have been having really bad ball issues, so I decided to get winter paint.
None of the local shops sell Polar Ice or Arctic Inferno, but they do offer Karnage in the Winter Fill. Karnage also prints it on the box, so you know you have winter formula.
Balls seemed pretty consistent, round and seam was almost non-existent.
Fill was super bright neon green, you can see it from a long distance, and as long as your target isn't wearing day-glo, you'll see it.
**************
I've only played with it once, and the temperature was 38-42 degrees.
Very accurate paint, 6 inch grouping from 50 feet. No breaks, hopper or barrel.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
For $52 a case, I'll play with this all winter long.
A "9" for a reasonably priced, accurate, consistent winter formula paint. |
