| The newest paintball from RPS. Metallic shell with manufacturing properties that allow it to feed faster and fire faster. Perfect for those fast feeding electronic guns. Shell is half silver metallic with the other half matching the fill color. |

| Product Availability | |
|
| The RPS Flash Paintballs are newer, so they should be commonly available. |

|
| Review: |
these paintballs are new by RPS they have the same shell as marbalizers from what i can see, they dont have the perfect seams like marbs but are pretty close.
I would recommend these paintballs because they are about the same price as marbs and about the same quality. I would shoot this paint again.
** FOR those who are complaining about the shell, its because they are like the Marbs, which have a teflon coated shell. It leaves your barrel better.** |
|
| Conclusion: |
buy this paint of you want to spend the extra 10 or 20$ more for quality paint that shoots straight and far. |

| Review: |
I went to my local paintball field and I thought I'd try out their new Flash Paintballs they just got in. I tried 'em out and durring the game they seemed to be a below mediocre paint. They would shot somewhat straight and drop way before they got close to my target. Also I dont chop paint with my gun since I got my Evo II and this was the first time. Probably because it was deformed in some way. When I got home and took a closer look at them. I found 1 out of 5 had dimples and just about everyone had air bubbles. Not to mention every once in a while There would be ones that weren't even round. The field I play at used to carry premium. The replaced it with these flash. I am gonna tell the guy to stop buying them and go back to premium. He also carries Big Ball, Midevil, and Evil. Big Ball he sells for less money and they are a much higher quality. Overall I am not happy with these paintballs and unless someone can show me their case that has almost no flaws (convincing me that I got a bad batch),I will never purchase Flash again. Got with Big Ball or if you got the cash get Evil (preferably) or Midevil. |
|
| Conclusion: |
You might want to give them a try because maybe I had a bad expirence. But I will probably never buy this paint again. Highly DON'T recommend. Especially if you have a small bore barell; you could run into some major troubles with all the deformities of these balls. Avoid at all costs. But hey I'll have to give it a 4 because nothing deserves a 1 (unless its soo terrible it isn't considered paint) and it beats Blue Streak or any Brass Eagle Paint for that matter! |

| Review: |
I only shot a case of Flash. I hated it. Out of the box the paintballs were dimpled. They would fly true for 20 to 30 feet and from there had a mind of their own.... well, that would be the 2 out of 3 that didn't break in my barrel. I would highly recommend this paint to anyone who wants to play up close and personal with a 'shotgun effect'. It makes a truely nice cone of neon green paint on barrel breaks. Other than that, it might make a good gift to the other team if you need a little edge.
I might have gotten a bad case of paint. I usually shoot Evil orange which shoots like a dream and have had good luck with the other RPS products. Even so, I wouldn't shoot this paint again if it were free. |
|
| Conclusion: |
RPS makes many good quality paintballs.... This just isn't one of them! |

Recommended
Barrels: |
something easy to clean |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
the fill is a good color |
|
| Weaknesses: |
everything else.
the shell was inconsistant in boresize and shape, the weight varied from 2-5 grams, my marker went from shooting a +/- 3 with other paint to about a +/- 50 with flash. it broke one in ten even during slow firing, and the thick fill is very difficult to clean out of my barrel. |
|
| Conclusion: |
i might have gotten a bad batch, but the paint was fresh and it shot awful. i have shot almost all types of paint including seconds and this is THE WORST i have used i wouldn't reccomend it. However the fill is good and if they fix the shell problems it might be worth a second try. i will give it a three because the fill is fairly descent even if the performance wasn't. |

| Review: |
I really like these balls, and At the paintball field i play at AG paintball, they use those balls there, and every time I go there, sometimes I dont break any balls, but there are sometimes where I do break just a single ball the whole day out of 2000. These are great paintballs! They are sorta hard but they dont hurt too bad, and the paint in side it shows very well (depends on what the color of it you use) (i used pink and blue with pink fill) and its not too watery or too clumpy, its just right. I rate these a 10 |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend these paintballs because they shoot good and rarely break, but the prices arent too good but they are great balls! |

|
| Strengths: |
*batch after batch without dimples!
*breaks on target, not in barrel (ran 3 bags of 500... no break!)
*VERY CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (like, 25 bucks for 1K) |
|
| Weaknesses: |
*dont fit my friend's small bore boomstick (it's small to fit his phantom) |
|
| Conclusion: |
RPS made another great product when they made flash. My friends are doing great with their RPS Premium and Big Ball, and I'm hitting lucky with my Flash. I reccommend these to anyone looking better buy with a smaller wallet. |

Very accurate and reliable. Take differnt temps. well. And the price was amazing. $30 shelf price. ( with tax they were 32.10) I got some a week later and they were on sale at $22.50 per 2000 ct. so i bought about 15 cases because i supply a local paintball course at their expece. I do testing for them. The total was $337.50 with out tax and with was 361.13. |
|
| Conclusion: |
An all around great paintball. Best buy hands down. |

| Review: |
Got a case of this at my local scheels for $30 bucks. My friend and i split the case.The fill could be better but its not to bad. I chopped about 3 out of the 1000 i used and this is with a stock tippmann 98 custom. I dropped one from about 2 feet and the shell broke. The shell is very fragile almost to fragile. I had a few of bounces with these balls. My case had no broken balls and there was no dimples in the balls at all! This paint shoots very straight but bounces a little. The fill could use alittle improvement but its certinaley alot better then some of the other fills i have seen with paintballs in the same price range. I would definitely buy it again as it is very cheap as it was only $30 bucks for a case. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good paint for a rec-baller on a tight budget. Fill could be improved but not the worst ive seen. Overall id buy it again if short on cash but if i had the money i would rather buy impact or something alittle better if i had the extra 10 bucks. |
