Any good or average barrel above a stock, but I have never had one of these balls break in my barrel even with a stock. Also, these did work well when I had the 98 custom with the flatline barrel. |

| Review: |
*STRENGTHS*
These paintballs are very good for the price ($48 for 2000 paintballs). Since I have been buying these balls I have never had a ball break in my barrel, and I have been through about three guns, three after market barrels and well over 5,000 balls. I recommend these balls for woods-play because they are very strong and can shoot through branches and brush. The weather doesn't affect the quality for me and i play in cold winters and hot summers. Also, these paintballs do not smell bad, they're not oily and they do not dent, break, or melt easily.
*WEAKNESSES*
The weaknesses on these paintballs are not as important as the strengths. Even though the hard shell is a good thing, this causes the balls to not always break on target. I would say that the balls do not break on target 10% or 5% of the time, but this is a small price to pay for no ball breakage in the barrel. I can only buy this paint in bright neon green a local paintball store, but I am sure that this is not the same in other places, but its not cool when a few other people have the same paint color as you in the woods. |
|
| Conclusion: |
These paintballs are very good for the price. They can compete with many other premium brands of paint, and are a lot better than the cheap brands. The best thing about this paint is that a ball has not yet busted in my barrel. I recommend using this paint for woods-play but not as much for speed-ball but it still works great. I WOULD NOT HAVE USED THIS PAINT FOR SO LONG IF IT WASN'T GOOD! Any RPS paintballs are good, But i get these ones because they have great quality for the price. |

| Review: |
Overall these balls are great and they are my favorite. The price make people think that it is crap paint but that is just not true. This paint is way better than Brass Eagle and it is alot cheaper. I can get this for 47 bucks a case. I've shot 4 cases of this so far and I have only had 2 balls break total in the gun. That is 2 out of 8,000 balls. I would called that a very good ball. Also it flys straight and shows on the target pretty well. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get this paint if you want good paint for rec ball and even fair in tourneys. |

| Review: |
I know what I'm talking about when I review these big balls because i have used them religiously for the past 2 years at least once a month. The main two things that these balls have going for them are the price, and the consistency from case to case. These balls are also wonderful with breaks. I've shot probably about 10,000-15,000 of them in my whole career and have not gotten ONE BREAK other than a barrel chop that was from me holding my gun sideways. Of course, this kind of durability must mean something about how they break on the people you are shooting. What I've been noticing even more and more is that the balls just dont break very easily. I play alot of woodsplay in a leauge and I more than often get the players out when they scream "I'm Out" from the intense pain of a bouncy-ball like paintball hitting them (and yes I don't shoot over 300 fps). The balls also have a very thick goupy fill that isn't obvious at all those times the balls do break. They are just kinda weird. |
|
| Conclusion: |
The balls are good for playing close range but the farther away you're shooting from, breakage on the player becomes almost rare. Would work every time if they hit the mask... they arn't that hard. Make sure they are fresh cause time does evil things to them (sweat, dents, hardening). |

| Review: |
I was shooting some big ball through my cocker the other day, and oh dear god - it was disturbing... I was shooting just randomly, and the acc. just absolutely sucked. they were flying everywhere! no exaggeration, it was as if i was using a 5" stock barrel. Then one of the balls broke and i had some Teflon barrel cleaner in the barrel, so it cleans its self out after a few shots - and well, it didn't at all... the balls that proceeded the break just kept chopping. And i know your thinking well i must suck at shooting my cocker - and i was thinking that myself, then after shooting the 500 threw and breaking about 100 of um, i pulled the bolt out to clean it, expecting paint everywhere. Well there was none! All the paint broke in the barrel and they were all splitting on the seams. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If I were you looking to buy big ball, i would just spend the extra $5-10 for RPS Premium.
Trust me on this one, u'll thank me when your playing a game. |

| Review: |
I thought these paintballs are great the price is good they shoot great i like how the shell and fill are oppisites Great Packed no balls were broken great price. If u shoot these at someone they wont be able to see it as it comes bc it is a very dark shell and then when they get hit they have a bright fill on them and it is a very good idea. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great Paintballs especially for the price |

| Review: |
Threw against ground - bounced and broke on 2nd bounce most times.
Bounces off clothing.
It has a pretty good fill. That thick stuff you like, you know?
No breaks in barrels, seems to go pretty straight, not much horizontal spread.
For the price, this is not good. Should be a lot less for a case. Good thing I got them for half price. |
|
| Conclusion: |
bleh. Go with VI. Slightly cheaper, and definitely better. |

| Review: |
Big Balls are exactly what the name implies -- B-I-G. Fuggin' huge, in fact. 70% fit well in a Freak .691 insert. The other 30% are either unbelievably huge (.693) or average (.689).
30% variability seems high to me, but hey what do you expect? These are inexpensive paintballs, so i assume inconsistent shooting is normal. Just remember that with this paint, no matter what barrel you use, you can expect about one shot in three to fall short:
70 / 100: right size; low friction, low blowby
15 / 100: too big; high friction, nominal blowby (high friction = low muzzle velocity = short shot)
15 / 100: too small; nominal friction, high blowby (high blowby = low pressure = short shot) |
|
| Conclusion: |
Big Ball is a good buy for the spray-n-pray shooter (who can carry plenty of ammo); you can buy lots of it without taking out that 2nd mortgage.
For shot-to-shot consistency or limited-ammo play, seek a more consistently sized paintball. |

|
| Review: |
this is awsome paint it doesn't break in gun like Brass Eagle paint and its pretty good to say its from walmart. Pretty accurate almost as accurate as dusk and XBall that i get from academy.
LIke i said it is harder than the other kinds though but still works good even in my tippmann stock barrel! and thats damn good |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall good balls not a bad choice for serious playing. |

Well i used these on my friends model 98 and i nailed like 5 people. Then i survived a 2 on 1 me being the one. These balls went exactly where i pointed. I usually use scorch which are good and these are the one's i would use if there is no scorch
Also Wal Mart doesn't have a huge choice of paint so i got these. |

| Review: |
Shell
Well The Shell Seemed To Always to be perfectly round and no dimples, It has a nice bright yellow shell so you can track your shots really easy. The Shell Is a Little Bit Thick So Like 1 Out of 10 Times It Wont Break on The Person But Its Not Really That Bad.
Fill
Just Like The Shell, The fill is a Brightly Colored Yellow. It is very thick and easily spotted so helps with cheaters. Although this is a nice fill, I found the balls to drop closer then others due to the weight, but thats fine wasnt to much of a decrease.
Accuracy
These Are Ball On Top Of Ball Accurate, Gotta Love Em For That, and Since their Bright you can track them and change your pattern. Great For Accuracy. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good Balls For a Pretty Good Price. Very nice Rec Balls. Go Buy And Try. |
