|
|
| Strengths: |
it is great to give to people who is on the other team, so their marker goes down.
good paint to throw at people by hand. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
we tried it in the following markers: automag, F-4, SL-68, Piranah g2, Spyder SE, Matrix, Rainmaker, and a Spyder Compact with the same results.
It is a really good paint if u like to just spray paint
fill is about as thick as water
|
|
| Conclusion: |
this is the most useless paint we have ever bought out of 4 cases we got maybe 100 balls that didn't break in the chamber.
i would buy paint by the gallon and just fling it at people rather than buy this paint and try to shoot through a marker if i could give it a negative rating if i could if it didn't work in our markers i doubt it would work in any marker. USE THIS PAINT AT YOUR OWN RISK!! |

| Review: |
Well, it just goes to show, that opinion vary, especially in the other reviews I have read for the RPS/PMI Advantage ball.
For starters, I play rec woodsball in Michigan, so the terrain is moderate cover with forest floor grasses and branches. We like it to be somewhat open, and not so thick that shots have to be 10' or less. But due to the fact that this is the woods, most fire fights are at distances of 40'-90'.
So, I needed a paintball that wasn't to fragile, and could get through tall grasses and ferns if someone were to be lying down.
I picked up this paint for $40/case and was very happy with it. Yesterday, we played for 7 hours or so after a thunderstorm in 80 degree heat and I put 2500 rds through my gun/barrel. RPS Advantage made it through the tall, light grass and broke on my target when needed. It was incredibly accurate through my Spyder E-99 with the 14" Smart Parts Progressive barrel. At 80', I was able to put shot after shot on a 10" target, and when playing, I could keep someone pinned behind a tree till a partner could flank. In fact, I pinned one opponent so thoroughly at about 50 feet, that I put multiple rounds on there gun, hopper, and hands since they dared not even peek out to aim at me. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Excellent paint for my gun/barrel/loader combination. It fed fantastic from the hopper, and not a single break or chop on semi, 3 round burst, or full auto.
In other words, it was great for my combo........BUT OBVIOUSLY, NOT SO FOR OTHERS.
The only drawback was that the yellow fill was watery and thin, and the color of the ball was blue/gold. This made the ball a little tough to follow after it was fired so that adjustments could be made. I will purchase this paint again, but will see if there is a pink fill and a brighter color shell that i can purchase with this brand. |

| Review: |
I bought these once cuz they were cheap.Out of 2000 and 8 guys playin,we altogether had 27 break in our barrels and we each squeezed after every break.Many of the balls are mis-shapin and popif u look at em too long.And its name is "Advantage"?dunno if that has a purpose but they give you NO advantage unless youjust like crappy paintballs. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall,just by another type of paintball cause these suck,bad.Unless u wanna screw sumone elses barrel or gun(cuz ur stupid or sumthin)or if u feel like throwin these at passing cars,old people,or wild rabie infested possums,or even a criminal invading your house,go ahead.But really,just dont buy these! |

| Review: |
Some nice paintballs. I have not used them too long, but so far I have not had one break in my barrel or any not break on the target. They are also not too expensive for their superior quality. The only drawback is that it has some pretty thin paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would definetly recomend this paint for most situations. It is cheap, yet it has a fine quality. Only real drawback is weak paint. |

| Review: |
These paintballs were fairly accurate for me. I used these mixed in with other types of paintballs in a game and my friends told me they hurt worse than the others. So I guess they don't break as easy. These are cheap paintballs and readily available. They kind of blended in with some camo one of my friends was wearing. |
|
| Conclusion: |
These were decent paintballs but not as good as others I tested. I like a little brighter fill and one that doesnt bounce off my friends at times. |

|
| Review: |
Until I moved onto Evil and Mid Evil these were the only balls available at the local paintball shop and field for gerneral use.
Had the occasional break, but that might of been me or a bad ball. Fill a little thin compared to Evil and Mid Evil but then its £4 and £7 a box of 2000 less to buy.
With the standard barrels, the Stealth and Excel the balls worked fine but not as well as Evil. However, due to inconsistant sizing the balls were either too tight or too loose in the Evil pipe barrel using the bottom 2 sizes of barrel.
Had a few bounces, but never at close range so no complaints there. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Not a bad ball if you have an average size barrel, be careful with barrels of differening bores. Better ball than Mid Evil though. |

| Review: |
Ive read all these bad reviews and I dont think this paint really deserves it. I shot these today and the flew straight and never broke in my barrel or in the internals. There was one point at which I fired at a tire some 40 yards away and one of the balls bounced off but I guess it was a little thicker then the others
Edit- used these another time and they were curving like crazy and they had only sat a week, lowering the score |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good enough for me, given it a 9 cause of the one that bounced off the tire |

| Strengths: |
the paint was alright, if you can even hit your target |
|
| Weaknesses: |
very unaccurate, chops on rapid fire, and poorly designed |
|
| Review: |
i was extremely disappointed, they were the worst i ever had, they cant shot straight, and they chop under rapid fire, my other paintballs dont do that, i can go 1000 shots rapid with out one chopped, but with this pmi crap, every other shot chopped, and it was the worst accuracy i ever seen. |
|
| Conclusion: |
you can buy this product for your self to see what i mean, if you wanna try them, buy the smallest amount possible to test it for your self, like an idiot, i bought a box of a 1000 for paintball this weekend, and now im screwed cause i have no more money, and really really bad paintballs. |

| Review: |
These were terrible! I shot 200 and I'd say about %25 of them broke in th barrel or got chopped. I don't know why these were so bad but I will never buy them again. The fill wasn't the greatest. It was ok but CORE paint has a better fill. Now when I got them I think they were pretty old. So consider that. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I won't buy them again. |

| Review: |
These paintballs are good quality, althought it is thin paint inside of them. The shell is perfect by not busting in the gun. They are good priced and available almost
everywhere. The color inside shows up good also. The shell color is rather dull so you
shouldn't use these when testing your velocity. But because of the price it is worth it to buy these paintballs. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Well these paintballs are cheap and availability is great. I wouldn't recommend these
for every gun, but for starters they're good. |
