| Strengths: |
very consistant sized. shoots nice and staight and breaks on target. never broke on in my gun. there are some nice colors that u can choose from and they are easy see. doesnt stain clothes. They last a good 4-5 months. the price and quality of these balls is unbeatable. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
the fill is a little thin and can wipe off after 15 seconds of rubbing, but only if it hits skin only. it wont wipe off of clothing. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is one of my favorite balls! They shoot well and are made w/ high quality and the price is great. I use these balls whenever I play and they work like a charm. |

| Review: |
RPS Premium are very good and precise balls to use. They come in many variety of colors and sizes (which is the downfall), but other than that it's fine. Outta all the balls I've used in the past these and Evil are the best out there. I recommend these balls for anyone who has a barrel .689 / .691.. Today I was testing them out and profoundly killed a bird....Xp oops. After that I concluded that these would hurt like a motha f****a if shot and is accurate as hell...
R.I.P.
†The Bird†
-I was just testing out the product-
┼╬┼ⁿby the way the balls are very accurate if it means anything nowⁿ┼╬┼
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall these balls are great and can do devastating damage as mentioned above. Get em if you don't want something too cheap or too expensive but good shootin....=) |

| Review: |
I go to a field paint only place, and this is what they've been using recently.
It has inspired me to buy a Powerlyte Scepter Kit.
The paint is tiny..rediculously tiny. If I wasn't shooting, there wasn't one in chamber. As soon as I tilted my gun forward the things just rolled out. Really freakin' small.
This creates another issue. One would roll forward enough into the barrel that I couldn't shoot it out. Then another ball would load and shoot into the first. When I squeegeed, I pulled out enough fill to paint a house with.
Oh, and when I took one in the face, the taste was comparable to death itself. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Unless you have a small bored barrel or a kit, stay away.
Due to my experience with this paint, I have to give it a low rating. |

| Review: |
These could be the best paintballs that I have used. I usually don't notice much difference in many of the paintballs that I use but with these it was a large leap from the other brands that I have shot. They are near perfect. I went out back and shot a bunch of these balls and I didn't have one break even shooting as fast as I could. |
|
| Conclusion: |
These are good balls. They are high end and some people may not want to buy these balls because they cost more than other paint. I would reccomend them to anyone. |

|
| Review: |
I have shot this paint for several years and works best with mid sized barrels. It is probably the most consistant paint we have used. Have never had a break in the barrel with this paint. Very thick and full fill means very straight flite, very predictable. I have shot this paint for several years now and by far its been the most stable, predictable paint I have used |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good top end paint at an affordable price, highly recommended for woodsball or speedball you can't go wrong with this one |

|
|
| Strengths: |
Thick fill makes it very easy to see from a distance
|
|
| Weaknesses: |
Thick shell make the paint bounce off at longer ranges |
|
| Review: |
I really like this paint. I played yesterday and our group shot over 8000 rounds with almost no breaks. The thick shell makes it a good paint for the flatline.The two A-5s we were using never broke a ball all day. We did break a few in a old stingray II, But i figure that is because the gun is junk..
We were playing in HOT and very humid conditions, but the paint performed very good. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I think this paint is a very good paint for everyday play. I bought my paint at a local shop and it was fresh. At $45 dollars a case of 2000 how could you go wrong. |

| Strengths: |
Fill is dark, but its a good dark. A dark megenta that stands out. |

| Weaknesses: |
Dont shoot as straight as All Stars or Evil. |
|
| Review: |
I shot 500 and none broke and they shot pretty straight. The fill is dark, but its vibrant and thick enough 2 see all the way across the field. The fills been on bunkers for a few weeks through rain and it still shows up great. Basicaly its a sexy sooped up premium, but its not much better performence wise. Still take it over normal premiums anytime.
Nutin special, but I'd buy em again. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good if ur runnin short on money. Its got a real good fill, it should be used in other paints too. I'd buy if u dont fell like payin 10$ more 4 better paint. I'll give it a 9. |

I have only used feild paint and stuff from wal-mart, but I used to mail order nelson or nelsplat paint back in the day cause you couldn't buy paint anywhere, except the 40 or was it 43 caliber for blow guns, we used to use that with slingshots. :) |
|
| Marker Setup: |
Raptor, derlin bolt with a pink erasor spacer, trigger job, CMI R-2000 in-line reg, anti siphon tank, 32º nyte styk barrel, and obviously I don't really need an electric hopper with this gun LOL |
|
Recommended
Barrels: |
um I have only used it in my nyte styk |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
price, quality, they don't break in your barrel, but mark well |
|
| Weaknesses: |
I must assume there is better paint, but Premium Gold is good enough for me |
|
| Review: |
This stuff shoots so much better than the other paint I was buying at Wally world (BE JT dusk super swirl), I figured cheap gun so use cheap paint, but after trying this stuff my game was soooo much better today, we played for five hours and not one barrel break, when another guy was cleaning his barrel, hopper, and power feed, I ran my sqeegie, just a tinie tiny bit of purple, almost un noticeable, must of been a pinch??? |
|
| Conclusion: |
Now it is really convienent to be able to go to Wally world and get some paint at 11:30 at night cause you remember your out of the good stuff and your going woods ballin sunday morning. BUT!!! When your consider by 1/4 cases or 500 balls the BE is like 15.00 and the others run up to about 18.00, The RPS Premium Gold is only costing me 20.00 per 1/4 case, and it is SOOOO worth the two dollors!!! AND if you buy it buy the case, or at least go in on a case with your buds, it's only 62.00 which is about the same cost as the BE paint!!! ( yea I know you can get the BE for 12.50 if you buy it in bulk, but you could also argue that you pry break 5% of the BE paint so your paying money for the fun act of cleaning your barrel...) , pretty much in life you get what you pay for, and
for the extra few bucks you pay for the RPS, your not just paying money for paint, your getting insurance that you will spend less time cleaning out your barrel |

Diablo, Zap and Brass Eagle paintballs. |
|
| Marker Setup: |
Tha Pro TS with Mako Storm ELCD frame, stock barrel (soon to be getting a sniper barrel), 20 oz tank with remote, 9volt revolution hopper and getting a nitro tank. |
|
Recommended
Barrels: |
Any sniper or true assualt barrels. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
They have great accuracy, lightweight (in my opinion), bright color, thin caps for easy break but still strong enough not to break in a barrel/marker and they are really cheap if you know where to buy them (i can buy a case for about 40$ and thats 2000 paintballs). |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Nothing really except when you break/cop a ball in tha marker/barrel they might be come a little bit off of accuracy, but thats just like any paint. Make sure your always carrying your squegee or swab because your never know but ive never had a ball break and my friend has because he was using a crappy Brass Eagle Raptor with some upgrades dont to it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I think these are some great paintballs for such a cheap price if you know where to buy them. I would definately recommend these paintballs for advanced and pro markers/barrels. |
