| Review: |
I bought 1000 of these paintballs. I used about 500 of them last time a played and was fairly happy with them. They were a little more expensive than the other paints I was considering but the design got me hooked. The paintballs were accurate and the fill was fairly thick but hard to see. I will buy these agian in the future for the rec play. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would give them a try. |

| Strengths: |
This paint looks hella cool it has the best lookin shell ive seen on any paint around. El Tigre fly straight and easily break on target. The fill is thick, stays on target and doesnt wipe. I shot at a fence and it didnt drip. NIce fill color too. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
There is nothin really bad about this paint, except it could be a little bigger splat mark. Maybe it could be cheaper than Marbs, but oh well. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is great paint to play in the woods. A little spendy though. Good paint, go buy it and try it out. Get it!! |

| Strengths: |
Obvious breaks, cool shell, accurate (low curve), does not break in gun or barrel |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The balls are pricy -- about 70 dollars per case (2000) |
|
| Review: |
The balls are very well madee, with all the different caracteristics that you would want in your paintball. They have a tough shell that still breaks every time on the target, great accuracy, along with the durability to not break inside your gun. The balls are top of the line. You will not regret buying them, even if they are alittle expensive. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good paint. The fill, the size, the shape, the color is all perfect. Go get some today. |

something that shoots both small and medium paint well. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
The color is mighty sexy looking. the fill is nice and thick and hard to wipe. its easy to trace and breaks on target. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
the paint had some consistancy problems. some balls would b small bore and some would b medium. maybe i got a bad batch. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Over all a VERY fun paint. its hella fine looking and hard to wipe. I was using a medium bore barrel w/ it and only broke 2 balls, but the consistancy and price are gonna keep me away from it next time. if u got the money and want a sexy ball get this. if u got the money and want a good ball for the same price the marbs or all star will suit ur needs, but a ggod ball none the less. |

the ACI Combo barrel is the only one that i've seen em work good in |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
fill isn't too thin (its not quite thick enough though). seams are pretty nice. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
well, they work well if you have a small bore barrel and a really good gun setup. they are smaller than marbs (which work perfectly in my dye SS) so they are really bad in my barrel. they tend to break my barrel way too much and even after i sqeegee it out they are not accurate. I know i didn't just get a bad batch cause i have used 4 or 5 cases of them. |
|
| Conclusion: |
if you have a really good gun setup and a small bore barrel (freak with smallest insert) they might work well, but for me they didn't. |

Barrels: |
I only used these balls in one game with my TearDrop barrel. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
These balls are very accurate and have a think shell.
The paint has a very sweet color to it.
The balls design is unique.
All the balls are PERFECTLY round, and the seem is unnoticable.
They work very well in high and low pressure guns.
|
|
| Weaknesses: |
The balls sometimes dont break on impact.
The paint can be wipped off.
THEY HURT LIKE A B!TCH!!!!!!!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Well, you get what you pay for. These balls have great accuracy but dont break on impact. I think that JT's are still the best out in the market.
8 is a good rating for these for they have their good side and bad side. |

|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
These things got a funky ass design. HAHAHA. "Bring out the tiger in you," growl growl purr purr. Naw but for real, these are your usual RPS paint, good quality paint, just with a funkier design which I kind of dig. Anyhow, good paint is good paint, and this is good paint that looks just as good. Meow meow meow. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
If you shot someone who was insane and vengeful, he would know it was you cause of the El Tigre's in you're hopper / pod, or simply he would remember the face of the "fairy" who shot him with a tiger stripped ball. Then... you would be on the news for better or worse. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Simple conclusion... I like the tigres, they seem to be my team mate Kelv's paint of choice for our walk on days atleast, as for me, our walk on days or small private games... I'll stick it with I&I House paint. |

| Review: |
Through work I was able to get a whole bunch of PMI and RPS balls for dirt cheap. So I got a couple cases of marbs and tigres. Everyone knows about marbs so there was no need to test them. I broke open a case of tigres and at first glance I laughed my head of cause it looked like Tony the Tiger decided to get into paintball. I had no idea they would be striped like that, I thought they were going to look like marbs but orange and black instead of green and black. Anyways...... I unloaded the whole case on some poor targets and the balls flew great. A few broke but it was all my fault since I started shooting too fast, stupid me was using a gravity hopper since I ran out of batteries (mental note: always, always keep plenty of 9v's in my bag) For a comparison I mixed some marbs into my hopper and as I shot I couldn't tell the difference of the balls except for the streaking colors. |
|
| Conclusion: |
From now on I'm just going to shoot tigres. They are a little cheaper than marbs and work just as great. I know people still don't like paying this much for paint so I'm going to give them a 8. But Tony did a fine job on these balls, "They're Gr-r-reat!" |

| Review: |
These are the best paintballs I have ever used. I am a person who dosent use that many paintballs in a game ( which is surprising consider 29 balls a second) so i can afford these awesome balls. They are much beter than all of the balls listed above. Buy em and shoot only the very best. You will be amzed at the accuracy and the consistency of these balls |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get these paintballs if you want only the best paint on the market |
