Another premium level paint from Empire. It has a medium-thick shell with a medium weight fill. Great for the serious weekend warrior.

Well I used my stock .693 eclipse shaft barrel. The balls seemed to be a little bit smaller then my barrel. Just paint to bore match and your set. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Price. $40 is nice!
Amazing seams.
No dimples AT ALL.
Bright thick fill. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
None. This paint shot great all day. |
|
| Review: |
I bought a case of it one day. I had never heard anything about the paint and wanted to test something new out. I bought the case and opened the box and the paint looked great! Opened a bag and there were no dimples at all. The shell was nice and thin. Thick bright fill. I was very pleased. It shoot amazing through my ego all day long. No chops or anything. Flew straight as a arrow. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Empire really has out done themselves here. For $40, these paintballs simply can not be beat! I am going to buy these over x-ball bronze and save the $5 from now on. Great paint and if you can find some near you I definatly recomened picking up some and testing it out! Please rate this if I helped you. |

| Review: |
I've shot 3000 through a syndicate paradox around 13 BPS,0 breaks!!
1500 through my A-5 with a BT barrel at 15-17 BPS,0 breaks
500 through a shocker,0 breaks
My opinion is there not as dead Accurate as some evil or some marrbalizers
i've used but damn close with no breaks for 2 and a half cases
*edit* shot another case after a while you do get a few bounces had one bounce off my
V-force mask
*edit again* another case gone i would have too say this one was very impressive
i strongly recomend the orange fill engage! |
|
| Conclusion: |
one of the best paints ive ever used+ive shot it through 3 different guns all
at different speeds and Qualities and no breaks!!
*edit* i guess its still pretty good even for a few bounces
*edit again* fresh paint off the semi-truck with orange fill is very nice

|
| Strengths: |
- accuracy
-Breaks consistently.
-The shell is stiff and cracks well
-thick slimey fill |
|
| Weaknesses: |
-aren't *PERFECTLY* round but close.
-The seam
|
|
| Review: |
- Best accuracy of what I've used.
-always Breaks as long as you don't range it too far out.
-The shell is stiff and cracks (like an egg i guess)
-the balls are consitently round . very small seam that is slightly dented inward all the way around. smaller seam than others and not a flat seam like some I've used.
-thick slimey fill, with atleast a quarter sized splat.
the dent on the seam is about .003-.009 (I think) to .009- .015 (my cousin thinks) inward, I'ld prefer an unnoticable seam. This is not measured just a guess from my minimum thought to my cousins max.
I assume that the fact it dents in slightly affects flight somewhat .
don't let the seam dent scare you out of getting this paint you should try it. especially if your using the other paints I listed.
They are round but not perfectly round.
I've never had them break in my barrel or chop I use an A-5.
My cousin C. breaks them in his Gameface Recon occasionally.(more often when he uses the stock barrel) ( I blame the gun and hopper)
and my cousin E. breaks them in his phantom only when he loads more than 1 in his barrel. ( operater error or purpose)
oh It's about $45 where I buy it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I like it best out of what I have used. Cracks always when within range. good accuracy.
Definately recommend.
I'm gonna try more paints soon but the stores around here don't carry a wide variety.
I give it a 9 cause nothing is perfect and I was able to pin point some faults. |

| Review: |
Alright, if you read the similar products section in my review, you will see I haven't had a good history of picking good paint. It's always been too small, oily, sucky fill, too hard of a shell, or too inconsistently sized, and for the price I was paying for those paints I was getting angry. So since I buy paint in bags, not cases as that would be a waste for me, my shop had Heat or this. I didn't like Heat, so I took a risk buying this. I'm glad I took this risk. It breaks, a lot. Not in the gun, or the barrel, but on the target. It's accurate, although almost anything is accurate in my gun. It cured my inconsistency problems I was having. The fill is bright orange, and pretty thick, but smells like a carrot which is disgusting, good thing I'm not getting shot by it. It's fairly cheap at my shop too for $16 a bag of it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Need a cheap good paintball? Get this! I'm done dealing with DXS and Diablo's crap, they have failed to deliver, I am never looking back after this. |

| Review: |
I bought it at the field i played at (Splat Tag in Hudson WI) for $50 a case. Me and 2 friends shared 2 cases, about 1000 each. In that i had 1 mabey 2 barrel breaks (2nd due to the first one's residue). It was fairly accurate with my barrel. i could hit a 4" tree at 150' after the second shot then repeatedly after that. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall i thought it was very good compared to the other pain i have used (which isn't saying much since it is all "walmart paint") I would recommend it i believe it is worth the $50 a case which i thought was reasonable for field paint. Because i am cheap it would have been nice if it was cheaper, but the real reason was the 1/2 breaks which i thought was an acceptable amount but could hurt you if it was the one shot you counted on. really deserves a 9.75 |

| Review: |
My team went to a local feild for team practice. This was the only paint being offered. It was about 60$ a case which is a little expensive, but when is paint not expensive? This paint had a nice bright fill, which was good because it showed up well on peoples jeresys.
These paintballs flew strait, and nice. I was shooting ropes all day.
I only had one break, which was my guns fault. I was really low on air.
By then end of the day they started to get dimples but they still shot great.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
These are pretty good paintballs, i recommend these to anyone who wants to shoot strait, nice ropes all day long. |

|
| Review: |
This paint overall was a pretty good paint. This isn't the kind first timers should be using. It is about at an amateur to rookie paint. The first time i used it was for a science project and it concluded that it was accurate, didn't splat too well far away, but it did well up close so forwards might want to take note of that. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would say use this at a half-way experienced tournament or when you are proving yourself to friends,other than that, it would be wasting money |

| Review: |
I bought this paint because it had the empire name on it...all other empire products are good from my experience...
The paint started breaking in my pods (happened 2 times) and one of the balls jammed in my breech...it deformed but did not break causing MAJOR problems to get out/more broken paint.
Paint also broke in the hopper...1st time I've had this happen...that was a PITA.
I will never buy this paint again...its possible i got a bad box, but i dont really want to find out at $39 a box (with taxes) |
|
| Conclusion: |
I wouldn't waste my money on these again. |

| Review: |
I can get bonus ball at my field for $32 per case, but they shoot horrible in my cocker. I use engage for $47/ case for rec ball, and I like it a lot. It shoots well in my gun, but it doesnt always break. ALso, the fill isnt as thick as it could be, and i used to be able to get big ball for $40/ case, and i liked it before. However, for rec ball its very accurate, and I like it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good for rec ball, bad for tournaments. Shoots well, straight, at least in cocker. |

| Review: |
I bought a case of these for $60 which I guess is okay even though I got kind of ripped off. I got Green/Pink shells and green fill. The green was bright and I could see it when I hit a target which made me happy. There could be more fill like Anarchy has in there paintballs. I did not get a single chop out of 2000 and I did not get any bounces. These paintballs are very good and worth the money to get them |
|
| Conclusion: |
I will indeed by these paintballs again |
