Blue streaks - more expensive but rounder and more firm
Marker Setup:
Spyder Xtra
3A 16" barrel
Recommended Barrels:
stock barrels !
Strengths:
cheap
very thick fill
nice color
Weaknesses:
very soft shell
1/4 of the paint have flat spots on the shell
Review:
I bought those cause they were cheap, but it was a big mistake.
I shot about 40-50 in my backyard and 5 just decided to bust in my barrel. Not a suprise! The shell is so soft! I could EASILY squish them with my thumb and finger, something that is near impossible with otehr cheap paint like blue streaks or afterburners!
Reading from other reviews, looks like I had a bad case with soft shell...buy at your own risk
EDIT :
I tried them after =ward using my stock spyder barrel (Stock barrels have a really large bore) and despite their soft shell, only 2 broke into my barrel out of 200 I shot! I had many ball breaks du to using an aftermarket barrel with a too little bore...it kinda makes sens, why using a performance barrel with cheap paint? use your stock! :)
Conclusion:
Try it they're cheap, might get them again.
I'd ratter pay for blue streaks wich I totally love. ahah..

Review:
These paintballs are insanely annoying. The firtst time i used them they broke about 1 of every 3 shots i took, and if if i didn't squigee evey 3 shots the numer would be ab out 4 of every 5 breaking. I dissmisssed this occurance and wrote it off as a bad batch but in this i soon found i was wrong. I went ahead and bought them again, and i found that they were just as bad as before and the weather was much nicer. they still broke constantly and just made me mad. with my target in plain sight i could not hit it not even close the kid just sat there( i think he was laughing at me cuz i couldn't hit him) this was because the paint was curving adn dipping so bad it made a kill shot impossible. no even firing a full hopper made me hit him, they shot absoltuly every where except where i was aiming, after this batch and some of them that i borrowed from a frined to make sure it wasn't another bad batch i concluded they were just plain terrible to start. My remaning paint i proceeded to just shoot against a wall to get rid of it and guess what, it clogged up my gun. i will never use these again under any cicumstance
Conclusion:
these paintballs are terrible and should only be used to cronie, the're really cheap so before you start the day fire a few to get your gun shooting the right speed so you save some good paint, never use in a game never i don't care wut cicumstance just don't use them!

Weaknesses:
Everything else
Review:
Ok since im a cheap SOB that has no money (think about it i have a brass eagle) i have to use this paint. It's not all that bad but once u get it, use it up and try to avoid buying in bulk (after sitting around for a long time they get dints and such). I recommend splitting on a case with 4 friends. Its not the cheapest paint ive found, but i'd say its the worst paint ive used. But i do like the price and i like hearing my friends scream after they get it.
Conclusion:
Well i guess its something to shoot, and for that ill give it a 2 and the fact that they're cheap

Review:
I went to wal mart casue my friend said he bought 2000 there for 35$ so i decided to head on down to walmart and check it out. I bought it and took it home. I opened up the box and all of the bags looked like somebody had taken a freaking hammer to it. I went back to walmart a few days later and they had to go through 12 bags just to find good quality bags. And man was i pissed.
Lesson learned here guys never buy this paint or any paint expecially at walmart
Conclusion:
Never buy this

Dented, not round, break in barrel, soft and hard spots
Review:
Every single ball in a case of 2000 will have a dent and will not be round. They break constantly in your barrel and do not fly straight at all. The only person that i know of that somewhat likes them has a pro carbine so they shoot somewhat ok in tippmanns.
The bags were open and the balls had started to biodegrade
Review:
Well first of all I did get 1500 of these for $13, not to shabby. When I opened these up there were all these loose balls rolling around in the container. I picked up the bag and there were holes in all three bags and paint started to drip outta the bags. This really pissed me off so I just gave them to my little brother to play with. I dont even kno how they shot because half the balls were twice as big as they should be.
ok,lets see. I know the paint was a perfect match for my barrel. But yet it was getting stuck in the barrel and breaking. After about 5 shots,i would have to take out the barrel and spend the next 20 minutes trying to get the logeded paint out of the barrel. I will never use this paint again. It is quite possibly the worst.
Conclusion:
I would not buy again,I'd buy bigball or competition,it's only 15 bucks more.

Review:
Me and a bunch of freinds were plannin a big paintball match one weekend awhile back, i needed som epaintballs so i went to a local sporting goods store and seen these 2000 count zap paintballs for sale, it was a good deal i thought so i picked them up. i got them home and loaded them into my hopper., the second shot busted in my barrel, so after cleaning out my barrel i started to play again. The next few shots flew out my barrel and began to corkscrew, then hook strait left. I shot off the rest off my hopper and it was the same result.
Conclusion:
They are the worst paintball i've ever used, but if you want a good laugh load some in your gun and shoot, then try and guess where they end up landing. I'd rate them in the negitive numbers if the little thing would let me.
