| Review: |
These balls are ok. they are accurate but not as good as Diablos or RP's. They were good with my 98 (I wish I didn't have to sell it but I like my Mag even better.) The only problem is that I can get PMI two tones/premiums at cheapo mart for 15.00 for 500. I havent used these in my Automag so i will have to give you an update. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy them! These are great! Just be sure to get them online where they are cheaper!! |

|
| Review: |
Overall, not a bad paintball to those who have the proper setup to comply with the caliber of the paintball. If your barrel is too small for the paintball, the thin shell is likely to bust in your barrel. Thats not the paintballs fault. People who bad-mouth this product, and give it a 1-10 are those who have been brain-washed by companies like PMI into thinking that everything that Zap makes is crap. I'll admit that every paintball has it's flaws, but to call a decent product like this crap is unfair. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend this product to everyone to try, and those who experience sub-normal breakage should try and see if the paintballs can easily pass through the barrel (you should see some light around the paintball when looking through your barrel with the paintball inside, and if you don't, you shouldn't be shooting this brand because your barrel is too small. Good paint, bad rep. |

| Review: |
Well sadly at one of my local feilds this is the only paint they sell. So I have to use this stuff. First the good. Retail sale its pretty cheap and it has a pretty thick fill. Now for the bad. Most of the balls are dimpled, the shell is so thick it more often than not breaks on target. And worst cause of the dimples on the pbballs it causes much inaccuracy. It will curve greatly after 30ft. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Only use it if you have to. There is paint like dusk and team colors for this price that is much better. I dont recomend this paint at all, only good thing is its cheap and has a pretty thick fill, to bad the shells so thick you wont see that fill as it often doesnt break on target. |

| Review: |
These paintballs are pretty good. They were seconds and they were only 25 bucks. My cousin and I needed a case to shoot around. The didn't curve even when it was raining. The fill was bright and easy to see. The only thing I didn't like about them was they smelt weird. I don't know why either. |
|
| Conclusion: |
These were good paintballs i recommend them to anyone that is just shooting around. |

| Review: |
These paintballs were shooting super good at first. I shot about 13 per second and i only had a break every once and a while. But after when i used them at a game they broke every 9 or 10th ball. Ev en when they didnt break they really mucked up the guns eyes!!
So it would not shoot! |
|
| Conclusion: |
these are not good paintballs for most people. You get what you pay for |

| Strengths: |
they are paintballs I guess
better than shooting rocks |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Innaccurate
extremely oily
left sludge in my barrel. |
|
| Review: |
I got these paintballs with my gun for my birthday. I went under a bridge and shot them with my stock gun. they were horribly inaccurate and I couldt hit anything at 40 feet. also they left literally a sludge in my barrel. it took me about 5 squeegees to get rid of the casing residue. in short I wouldnt get these. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Dont waste your money on these get dusk 40$ a case
or rainbow (if they have it at your proshop) 30$ a case basically anything by draxxus is cheap and good. below average but ive shot worse. |

| Review: |
I personally did not like this paint. I shot and got shot and very few ever broke. Also when they did break, they dried fast and left stains. Due to the not breaking, they bounced and curved a ton. I was not very happy with this paint.
I don't think I found anything good about the paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I didn't like this paint at all. |

Cheap, good fill(cant whipe it off) |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Oily outside, not many colors, |
|
| Review: |
These should be named gel balls, they are impossible to whipe off they just smear onto you even worse. The balls make your barrel almost sticky and if you ever chop one you will have to bust out the cleanin products cause it takes forever to clean the residue out. They shoot straight as long as your barrel is clean. |
|
| Conclusion: |
You are way better off buying core paintballs or spending more money cause these are not very good. |

I always shoot J&J either a 2 piece or the Edge kit. The barrel I used with this paint ( a 2 piece) worked, but not too well |

| Strengths: |
I got 2 cases of this stuff for reffin WPF St Louis Open |
|
| Weaknesses: |
its dimpled, and it smells. If it werent free I wouldnt have used it |
|
| Review: |
I'd much rather use PMI or RPS paint, since they are both the same price range (+/-$10) I'd rather get the paint I like. Dont shoot this paint. I shot this for like 2 or 3 months and regretted using it. It smells bad and the paint is dimpled. I had alot of barrel breaks, and the accuracy was awful. My friend said the same thing and he was using a freak system. |
|
| Conclusion: |
dont get it. Go with RP Scherer or some of the better paints out there (Diablo, PMI, etc) they have better, more consistent paints |

| Review: |
I used these paintballs when I had my first gun. ( Tippmann 98 Custom ) They broke constantly in my barrel, hopper and in the gun. These are the suckiest paintballs. Brass Eagle is better than Zap performance Plus. I bought a 32 Degrees Nite Stikk for my Tippmann and they still broke. So I borrowed my friends barrel, an Armson Stealth....they still broke. I sold my Nite Stikk and got a 32 Degrees Carbon Fiber, still broke. Finally I figured out that the paintballs were the suckiest balls ever. So I swicthed to PMI/RPS. They didn't bust in any barrel Ive used except the 32 Degrees Quiet Riot. Now I'm using Ambush and 32 Degrees Competition balls they work perfect in my Tear Drop barrel. Zap sucks.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't buy these. You waste money, paint and time. You really waste time cleaning your barrel, gun, and your hopper. They suck. I'll never use 'em again. |
