| Review: |
I use these quite often at NYC Paintball, they're pretty sturdy paintballs and can give great accuracy when using the right bore size. The shells are pretty hard, though. So these are known not to always break on impact, so you'll have to squeeze off a few more shots. If you find a good price for these i'd recommend them. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Not bad paint to use. |

| Review: |
I used these in a scenario. I shot 1000 of my 2000 balls. I didnt need to continue to shoot because they were accurate so i only needed to shoot about 5 balls a player or so. These are great whether your a first time player, or a 10 year yeteran. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get some! |

| Review: |
these are by far some of the best balls to price ratio, 45 canadian a case. the reason i like them is because i was using a high price brand paint, x ball bronze, in my 98 custom pro, coupled with a evil driver barrel, great acurracy but to brittle for 98 really, x balls are better in low presure guns. stingers are somewhat thick but resonobley acurate. not the best balls out there, but better by far then most ive seen in a long time ! i swiched from x ball that was breakig two out of fifteen shots, to stinger the same day, ... whala no more breaks in fact no more out of an entire case of them. if your looking for good paint that will work well in tippmanns and wont break the bank , look no further, RPS STINGER! |
|
| Conclusion: |
best price to quility paint on the market, TRY EM! |

| Review: |
Well this paint is pretty good for the money. It was field paint at a scenario game for $50/case. Out of an entire case I didn't see even one ball with a blemish or dimple. They call them stinger for a reason. I would compare it to marbs but with a much harder shell. I had bounces all day long on me and the other team and that's the only bad thing about this paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good paint for the money but be weary of the hard shell! |

| Review: |
I recieved these as a gift a few months ago. Normally i play with any of the ones ive got listed above. Generally my spyders two stock barrels work very well with those, but with these they did not seem to shoot as well as the others do. They seemed to not break sometimes but not much. I do like the fill tho. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Among what i normally get id rank them 3or 4 out of 4 |

| Review: |
so far the best paint for the money without breaking the $60/case price.
very accurate and RPS did a great job at making these they have practically no seam, these things shoot straight.
This is one of my favorite paints to use, buy them and you'll be glad
I have never noticed bounces with these, even so your follow up shot will be in the same spot, these are cyclone friendly |
|
| Conclusion: |
Highly recommended as per review body |

|
| Review: |
I buy them at Dicks Sporting Goods for $35 a case which is alot cheaper than most paintballs of this quality. They fly well out of my Ion and Tippmann. I have seen them get bounces out of syders though. Make sure you don't leave them in the sun or you will get some crazy flying balls because of the oil. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would suggest these to anyone who is looking for good cheap paintballs |

|
| Review: |
Out of all the balls ive played with these are some of the best. At forty dollars a case i found them to be well worth the money. I play woodsball and these were cruising right through some of the minor brush and busting right on target. I was able to shoot a 2x4 about 20 feet away and hit it like 8 times in a row without any of the balls curving off anywhere. I didnt particularly like the fill as it was really oily and didnt show up too much. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very nice balls, perfect for woodsball |

| Review: |
Since I only play as a recreational player I was looking for a more accurate paintball at a cheap price. I have tried most of the brands that Wal-Mart sells under $40.00 a case and I went to my local paintball store and was pleasantly surprised when I found these for $35 a case so I picked up some. The first thing I noticed was the shell was much firmer than the brands I used before, the second thing was how much more accurate they fly, I can definately see there are less curve balls and when they do curve it's not as extreme as the other ones I used to buy. I am able to hit a target with only 1 to 2 shots instead of the 3 to 4 that it used to take, I definately attribute this to the straighter flight path of the balls. The paint is a thicker blend also so when you hit someone it will be very hard for them to cheat. I will buy these when I go to the field to play but I will still buy the real cheap ones for when I just target shoot at my house. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I am definately going to buy these from now on and I feel better buying them from my local shop instead of Wal-Mart and as long as he keeps his proces competitive I will continue to buy from him. |

| Review: |
I first bought this paint when I owned a flatline because i heard it was a good paint to barrel match, plus it wouldnt break in the flatline as much. All the rumors were true. I went through acouple of cases using my flatline and only had acouple of breaks. Looking at the paint it is a nice green/green shell that has little to no seam. I always get the yellow fill, but i believe there is an orange fill. I then sold my flatline and bought a JJ barrel kit. I had an even better experience using the paint with my kit. Once i found the right bore size i took it out onto the field. Balls fired straight, hand consistant hits within a small radius. I only had one break the whole day, and thats because it broke in my cyclone.
On the downside ive heard people say theyve had trouble with the balls not being round, more of a football shape. And that they have alot of dimples. Ive only seen this happen in one case, and i caught while in the store since i always open my cases up before buying them. So I think 1 out of the 15+ cases that ive bought is acceptable. Only real problem ive had is that sometimes the paint wont break when it hits the target. But id rather have afew balls not break, than alot break in my barrel/hopper. |
|
| Conclusion: |
For $30-$35, this is my favorite paint to use for woodsball/rec play. Its a very good quality paint and wont disappoint you. Also one of the better cheaper paints for the flatline.(Flatty owners know what a pain it is to find a good paint) If you have to pay more than $35 for the Stingers, I would get Zap Spank.
Hope this helped |
