| The first SLAM color available is "Yellowbelly" with neon yellow fill. This is a tournament grade paintball. It has insults printed on it such as punk, wuss, loser, wiper, spaz, fool, mommas boy, geek, slacker, and bone head. |

| Strengths: |
*check review* |
|
| Weaknesses: |
none, really. They sometimes were out of round and bounced. |
|
| Review: |
They were accurate, cool looking, bright filled, not easily wipeable, and just a good paintball. I would reccomend these to anyone but all stars are a little better. These paintballs bounced quite a bit on trees and the ground at my house but i dont know about people. they are pretty good. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I like them and they are accurate. Bounced a lot, but were all round. Good paintballs. |

|
| Strengths: |
This paint is as accurate as the Marbalizer or All Star for about twenty bucks cheaper. Its RPS after all, what did you expect. I kept a bag, not opened, in a cooler in my basement for about 1 year. I took it out about 2 weeks ago just to shoot through my cocker, and it shot perfect. I couldn't believe it, it shot better than the new Diablo I had just bought. Don't let the fact that it has really stupid stuff printed all over the ball fool you, this is absolutely tournament grade paint. Other than the color, its just like Marballizer. I have never had one barrel break and they mark extremely well. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
I would have to say, I hate the fact the balls have stupid little comments all over them. RPS has taken a truly quality paintball, and made it to look like a kids toy. These are not kids toys, I use these in tourneys, they perform incredible. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I give these a 9, for the fact that I wish RPS would drop the words off the ball. Other than that, this paint is really a great performer, its kinda like having Marballizer in yellow. If you shoot RPS paint, then you will get great performance with these as well. |

| Review: |
I got these from sportmart last thursday and they were the shape of freakin eggs! I will never buy paint from sportmart again, they must not sell very well. I will never buy them again because my local field sells paint for cheap that is like a day old! this paint was just was too small and inacurate for my autococker, i gave them to my newb friend and bought something better. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you know its fresh go ahead and give em a try but if you find them at sportmart walk away! |

| Review: |
I have a good story for these. I was playing and got hit in the mask. I jumped. As I went to wipe my mask off at the desk I started laughing. THe guy at the counter was like "What is so funny?" I showed him the inside of the lens and he laughed too...
from inside you could read a piece of shell stuck to the lens and it said "wanker" which I get called jokingly from my friends all the time. (its an inside joke) lol so yea. They fly really well hit hard and make bright marks. I wish they we still around. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Crazy funny to get hit. |

|
| Review: |
These Balls shoot straight and do not break. I shot 2 cases and had maybe 1 break. I will recommend this paint to anyone. Just wish the price was a little lower (You can get yellow all stars for 47.50 and they are just as good). Some Reviews talk about it not breaking on the targett but I never had any problems. There were 3 of us shooting Slams one day and no one had a problem with the paint at all. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great Paint! |

Now I
Expected Alot From These And They Me My Demands. Thick shell Not A Single Break.
Match My Barrel Bore Perfectly. These Are SO Accurate It's Not Even Funny. The Fill Is
Bright As H3ll.
- STRENGTHS
- Small Bore - Matched My Barrel Beautifully
- Tuff Shell I Guarantee You Wont Have A Barrel Break
- Nice Thick Fill
- Cool Shell( It Maybe Useless But They Might Find A Scrap Of Shell On Them And Read It lol) |
|
| Conclusion: |
These Are The Best Paintballs Iv'e Used And I Think I'll Stick With Them. I Recommend These To All That Have SMALL BORE BARRELS! |

| Review: |
I have used 12 cases of Slamball (ea. 2000 rounds) and the manufacture has been flawless every time. This paint seems to always fly right. They are not for beginners, mainly for novice/interm. local/Nat Tournment type event. Works great in woods/brush and open field. Very accurate. Very few fades to left or right. Slamball does not deform in air |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would highly recommend these to someone who is wanting to get as much performance out of the PB gun as they can. Accurate and reliable |

| Strengths: |
A great durable paint...the shell is nice and hard for winter play I had a few ricochets but that's to be expected. In over 10,000 rounds shot, I've never had one break. Not one. That's better than Marb and some of the other paints. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The fact that the shell is so hard that it does bounce sometimes, but hell...I'd rather have that than see it break up in the middle of a woods game on some light brush. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Top notch paint. It's one of my top two to shoot now...with Evil and Marb. |

|
| Strengths: |
The first three test shots smacked right on top of each other. Amazing! these were the best fit for my gun comared to the other paint at the local store, i will never go back to blaze. Paint usage dropped significantly since the shots became more consistant, i used less paint trying to tag people. very few wingers as compared to blaze. oh yes very good paint if it matches your barrel. Very bright fill dosent wipe easy leaves a mark even if you try and wipe but didnt stain. Can see the fill a mile away. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
well uh shell is very bright i guess, some people prefer the darker shells that are harder to trace back to the shooting position. guess they are a bit costly, but another 15$ or so for this over blaze locally is more then worth the price so i guess that dosent even belong here. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great shooting paint. good for a laugh or two with the trash talk written on it. but all in all just a great preforming paint . |

Barrels: |
I used the stock barrel on my Tippman and they shot really well for the stock barrel. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
The product shot really well out of my stock barrel. I didn't have a single break the whole day. Those little insults are cute...hehe... |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Well, this paint held up when shooting... but it didn't break. I nailed one person about 13 times without breaking (give or take a few misses in there). That person wasn't all that far away either. A friend and I also bunkered a player and nailed him from about 20 feet away... after the game we couldn't find a single paint break on him, and we hit him a couple of times at least. I'm sure this paint would be great for close action speedball games. Even when I was in the speed ball section of the field I missed some breaks on people. I am sure it would fair decent in a small speed ball field though. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I thought the paint was great after the first few games. Then I realized that it wasn't breaking on anything but the hard wood bunkers. I can't give this item a really high rating because what is the point in hitting someone when it's not going to count in the long run...? |
