These are High Performance paintballs. They come in Green/Yellow and Red/Yellow. They are thin shelled, but I have never had one break in my barrel. They are very round and have a very small seam, virtually seamless.
Shooting them out of a stock MR-1, at 30+ yards, they hit ball-on-ball. |

| The Archon Paintball Banzai Bushido is newer, so it should be commonly available. |

| Review: |
this is some of the better paint i have seen at my local field. generally tehy range anywhere from rampage to ultra evils. standards are generally pmi premiums or something along that line. after a couple times of getting dimpled, unaccurate paint and was odd sizes, this stuff came it.
its probably a tad higher grade than most standard paints i have used. it was not oily or dimpled. it flew decently striahgt, and thank GOD unlike a lot of the paints they had it seemed to break every time it hit somebody. i pay pump about 50 % of the time. so if i hit somebody with 1 shot (which we all know is hard enough) and it doesnt break i eel like packing up my stuff and going home. dont you just hate days when you can rip a string with an electro andsee 15 bounces? not worth playing. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would gladly use this paint any day. i would not pay top dollar for it, but its pretty good stuff for the standard feild stuff. |

| Review: |
Playing mostly woods-ball, sunny weather with 68-75 temp.
Let me just start by saying that this is the best paint that I have ever used, economically speaking.
If this ball has a flaw, I'm not sure what it is. This ball is very true in roundness and flies as straight as an arrow. You never have to worry about a bouncer either. When this ball hits, it just explodes. The only pieces that you see after a hit are just little shards.
This paint literally hits ball on top of ball. I would compare it to Chronic, Marbs and Evil any day. But, for the price, this paint is the best around at $44 +S&H per 2000.
The fill is as brilliant as they come. You can see a hit all the way across the field.
The only thing about these balls is that you need a good hopper with an eye. On the VL Force, the continuous agitator can and will pop a ball every now and then. CO2 does not work well with these balls either. The shell is too brittle and will bust 1 in about every 100. If you are using a non-ported barrel though, you can push the paint out with a squeegee and just keep on shootin'. The fill is semi-thick and semi-oily, so it cleans pretty easily.
The only ones that I have had bust in the barrel out of 6000 were using CO2. I have never had one bounce off anyone.

| Conclusion: |
I would recomend these balls to anyone (using HPA) forboth cost and effect.. |
