GAP i liked these just about the same, GAPs paint stayed on better.
Marker Setup:
Spyder Xtra
Recommended Barrels:
Dont know
Strengths:
These balls were very cheap on sale, 12 bucks for 500. The color is cool.
Weaknesses:
They aren't too accurate, but what do you expect for 12 dollars.
Review:
I've only shot about 300 so you cant really listen to what i say. But if you want to, They shot straight enough for me. I could hit people from pretty far away. They have cool colors. I got the green/yellow ones and the color is cool. 12 dollars is a good price for 500. They dont break too easy when you hit people in the stomach. None have broken in my barrel and i dont think they will because they are really tough.
Conclusion:
I recommend to get these if there 13 dollars or under.
Any barrel except the Tippmann 98 Custom Stock barrel. Plz never keep that barrel on your gun, ur better off without it.
Strengths:
Pretty accurate, don't ever pop in ur barrel or gun
Weaknesses:
Don't always pop when they hit someone, as expensive as marbs
Review:
These balls are very good, but lets face they aint marbs. Brass Eagle shouldn't be selling 1000 packs for $45!!!! But, If they brought the price down the balls would be a great deal. One other trouble is that they don't pop whewn they hit a target sometimes. I'd say about %12 of afterburners don't pop when they hit a guy in his stomach. Overall, they're just one step down from marbs and they're ok.
Conclusion:
get em if u dont have marbs or can't find any. just dont buy em at wal-mart
I have used almost every poular type of paintball. Marbs shoot the same as these. Zap are worse than these, and Diablos (of all types) are worse than these.
Marker Setup:
JT Excellerator 5.0, Viewloader 12V X Board Hopper, Bolt Work done, 14" sniper barrel.
Recommended Barrels:
Any. These are standard sized paintballs.
Strengths:
VERY Consistant, VERY BRIGHT FILLS!
Weaknesses:
Not many, somewhat hard to find.
Review:
I found these just at my local store, its called galyans. They were, and still are $30.00 for 1500 rounds, so at that price, I decided to give them a chance. After using them, I was hooked. I never use any other paint. They are SO CHEAP!!! ($30.00 FOR A 1500 ROUND CASE!)
The only main problem is that you can shoot them at low velocities, or high velocities, because sometimes they will dip in the middle velocities, but not usually. In the winter though, they work VERY well.
Conclusion:
Get them, because you cant go wrong with paintballs $30.00 FOR 3/4 A CASE OF PAINTBALLS!!!

I was very supprised.. these things acually flew straight, kinda a crappy fill.
Weaknesses:
Oily paint.. BE always has been that way tho.. but it flew pretty straight..
Review:
I was really really impressed with BE this time around... the paint flys somewhat straight and I didnt have one singel break!!!! the only thing bad about it .. is that its still oily paint...
but its a good rec ball.. and BE paint that doesnt break.. almost unheard of... but this time they got their Stuff straight.
Conclusion:
try it out.. I think ull be impressed, the paint acually flew pretty straight.. and out o half a case of this BE stuff.. get this... NOT ONE BREAK!!!!... BE did pretty good this time..
I used a Smart Parts All American and had no problems what so ever
Strengths:
Availability (you can get them at Walmart)
cool colors (nobody likes getting hit with bright pink paint)
thick shell (makes it easier to get through light brush)
I had no problems at all with accuracy. The 6000 that I have shot have produced no barrel breaks and only occasionally have bounced off of other people.
Weaknesses:
thick shell (yes I put that above also, but they can be a little hard when it comes to hitting people. I had to check my speed twice because people thought I was shooting hot.)
Conclusion:
These were great balls for the price Walmart had them on sale for $20 a thousand. If I can keep getting them at that price Ill stick with them.
PMi Premiums, RPS Big Ball - both better
Proto Darts - Incredibly better
Marker Setup:
Tippmann 98c
J&J Ceramic 14"
BT Tippmann Double Trigger
*Soon to Come* - Viewloader eVLution II and Response Trigger
Recommended Barrels:
I used a J&J 14 inch and it still sucked
Strengths:
Cheap
thats it
Weaknesses:
Made by brass eagle, oily, too brittle, didnt shoot straight
Review:
Okay i bought 200 of these for 7.99 just to try out. When i got home and filled up my hopper, one of the balls fell out and broke right there. Some "mysteriously" broke in the container it came in without the container even dropping, making all the other balls really oily and grimey. When i began to shoot, the first 2 or so came out pretty straight, but after that, they were curving enough to make a MLB pitcher jealous.
Conclusion:
I dont reccomend using this paint unless you just want to show off how fast your gun can shoot paint because thats all its good for. It was a waste of 8 bucks and I will never buy this again.

Review:
I was very suprised when I first shot these. I wanted to play in the gravel pit near my house with some friends so i decided to get a case of cheap paint. It seems people don't like these very much but, personally, i found they worked great! I was using them in my faltline, assuming i was going to have to switch to my bigshot because of insane ball breakage but nope... they worked great in my flatline. Perhaps i just a had a VERY good batch but they were awesome. Price was good... (cheap)... and they didnt break. I think they deservre about a 7-8 as a rating because they worked great fo rme
Conclusion:
Fairly decent balls... I'll definately get them again sometime! worked well

Strengths:
Bright, accurate kind of, break nicely, dont break in chamber, smell nice
Weaknesses:
Dimple easly
Review:
These acutally arnt too bad for being real cheap like. There surprisingly accurate for something so cheap. And some people might not notice this but they dont smell too bad they wont leave ur hopper or ur container u have them in smelling like ASS. The paint is really bright no one will get away with cheating if u use this u can see it from about 500 feet away. Easy to clean out of barrel if one does happen to break.
Conclusion:
These arnt bad balls for being real cheap some people swear by them some hate them i think there pretty good myself but not the best. As my name says ive tried out a lot of cheap paint and these seem to be the best.
