| Review: |
I have used this paint in three rec tourneys and this paint is awsome. Even some of my friends used them on there autocockers and automags. ( i guess i have had only good batches). When i play with them( they match my proto barrel nicely) They fly straight and most of them bust on target( the fill is decent but not the best). . Good but not the best, you can buy them from walmart . I think the reason so many people do not like these paintballs is they do not have a good barrel to paint match. Also if you do not store paintballs improperly they will not perform well at all. Also when you buy these at wally world check the box and make sure there are none busted in the bag. But these are good paintballs for the money you pay. Finally if you play in very cold weather with any paintball, they will become hard and not bust, keep all these factors in mind . 38.00 for 1000, not too bad. I have also used the big ball and impact and they both work about the same for my set up with my guns.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy these paintballs. See if they work match your barrel, if they dont use a different brand that is best for your gun. Give them a try. |

| Review: |
Most people think that when one goes to walmart they are getting crap paint. I got this stuff for x-mas from my sisters boy friend. I thanked him and all and wasn't going to tell him that walmart balls suck.
That was my problem, I judged before I shot.
Took these out to the back yard and shot better than some SEVERE atmosphere paint I had.
The bright orange fill was clearly visible from 40 or so yards away.
Shot straight. Round. 12 bucks for 1000 of these? Im getting a few boxes. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't judge before you shoot. These shot great for me. |

| Review: |
I picked this up at Wal Mart because the two cases of visible impact that they had weren't even shaped like boxes anymore (I assume they were open on arrival due to lack of care in shipping and were taped shut by the employees). Anyway, got these home and loaded a hopper. After firing a few of these, I started to wonder if I was even hitting my target. Aiming for a tree at about 20 feet away, I listened carefully and figured out that they were hitting just fine. I shot a post on my deck at about 5 feet and saw that the spot left is about 80% clear goop, 10% shell (yes, shell, and sometimes it was more visible than the paint), and about 10% color fill. I pop one of these with my hands in the sink and discover that the shell is QUITE thick. This one appeared to be filled with more actual colored paint than the previously mentioned ball, so I pop another. To my amazement, it appears to have less colored fill in it. Can someone explain this one to me?
Despite the aforementioned, these do actually hit the target most of the time out of my 14" J&J ceramic. Furthermore, I haven't had one chop yet out of about 550 or so fired at varying ROF. I haven't shot at anyone with these yet, but I wouldn't suggest doing so, as it would be much like firing less-than-lethal rubber balls, which could be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't waste your money. My local Wal Mart sells a case of 500 visible impact paint (MUCH better) for the same price. |

| Review: |
Well I bought these at Wal-Mart because they were out of super swirl and impact paintballs (I would've even rather had monster balls but they were out of them). I bought them because they looked really bright. I brought them home and felt them. They were harder than a rock. I tried to break one open to see what the fill was like and it was watery and clear with barely any orange in it. Oh and i couldn't break it open with my hand. I had to use a hammer just to crack the shell on these. I played with them and they were awful. I shot at a target and got a grouping of about three feet. It's not my gun either because my gun was fine when I used it any other time. I'd shoot a couple to normal length than I'd have one paintball fly about ten feet and just drop. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't waste your money on these. Monster Balls are better than these things. I will never buy these again. |

| Review: |
I know I am new to paintball, but I know alot about paintball. The first paint I used was the monsterballs. Anyway I saw these at walmart for pretty cheap, and they looked great on the box so I bought a box of 500. As soon as I got it home I opened the box to examine them. I threw one at the driveway pretty hard to see the paintsplat. It bounced at least 10 feet (I am not lying). I threw it again harder and when I saw the paint, I started laughing. It is the most pitiful thing I have ever seen. The fill was a pinkish-orange color that is almost impossible to see. If you hit someone with it, they will not need to cheat. No one will notice that you hit them. The shell is an incredibly hard plastic. When I used them I hit my brother twice and they bounced both times. From about 20 feet. These are an insult to paintball. I don't give 'em a 1 because 1's are reserved for people with a biased toward a product (like anyone that gives an ion a 1) but I think a 4 is pretty generous. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very poor quality. Very thick and touch plastic that is hard to break and pathetic fill. Don't buy. Even for target practice. For great, cheap paint, pick up visible impact at walmart. |

| Review: |
Ok, I read a bunch have had really hard shells with these... Well all of my 1000 were really soft. They seemed as if they were swollen, yet they fit through my .679 insert on my Freak.
There were incredibly soft, yet unnecessarily tough. I could not get them to break. We shot at trees, trucks, eachother... In the rare occasion that it did break we couldn't notice any paint anyways so it didnt really matter.
The paint was nearly clear, with a slight pinkish orangish hue to it.
We decided to play a game to test it out, but we both wound up just getting hit a bunch and eventually running out of ammo because none broke.
It had a problem feeding through my halo b, so I turned my eyes off of my minion... Yeah, the bolt would slam forward while the ball is halfway in the breach, but instead of breaking it would just bounce off.
I figured the paintballs were a lost cause.
I took the 500 rounds I had left back to walmart without my receipt (I lost it), and started the complaining. Eventually the manager hesitantly let me grab a different case (of impact this time).
For the same price you can get bigballs or impact, I am going to stick with them for now on. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Do not get it, I don't care if they are free. |

| Review: |
Well I got these because Wal-Mart was out of Scorch at the time and from the details on the box I thought they might be a good replacment. I got home and loaded up a few and was really disappointed. The fill was really watery and I could hardly see it unless I shot the same place more then once. Which was kinda hard to do because they either curved or bounced. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't get waste your money. The fill really sucks, and they either curve or bounce. |

| Strengths: |
I do not see any. They are not really even that inexpensive |
|
| Weaknesses: |
They are overpriced for the quality. |
|
| Review: |
Okay, I did not like them at all, but I will try to be fair in my review:
Good:
-They did not break in my marker or barrel.
-They are bright orange and easy to use as "tracer fire".
-They were pretty round and flew fairly straight (using my barrel kit to match).
-Not too oily.
-No broken balls in the boxes.
-Mid-priced.
Bad:
-Shell was sooo hard. When they broke, we noticed that a lot of them would just open up in halves instead of "bursting".
-Fill was really oily and hard to see.
-Lots of bounces.
-Easy for cheaters to wipe or ignore. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Look, I have come to realise that most "midrange" paints are about the same - see my list above. I personally am not satisfied with any of them except Visible Impact. They are what they are. I would rate them higher, except that the Visible Impact paint is the same price or cheaper and blows them away in this price range. Therefore, they may do the job but are not a value in quality or price. |

| Review: |
I got these cause they were cheap at wal-mart. So i go out to play with my buddies. They shoot.....but thats about it. They refused to break on anybody.....they only broke on hard stuff like cement and trees. It was almost like getting hit with rocks. Not worth the $18. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recomend not getting this paint, unless you like the feeling of being pelted with stones. I'll give it a 5 though because they shot straight enough; but there are better paints out there |

| Review: |
Sryker Paintballs are one of my top woodsball balls. They are cheap( $30 per 2000) solid, and easy to maintain. I have had a good experience with them and recommend them to all levels of play from beginner to expert. They work with all .68 barrels that are 8" or longer. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would reccomend it because it can be used as a cheap practice paint or a tournament paint. |
