They stink compared to others i have used. Not to many colors.
Review:
I have found that these paintballs arent very esay to clean off of anything except metal.someone at my local field got one of these thourgh the net and hit a car.the paintball started eatin the paint off the car instanly.(it looked cool.)so now these and all "bucketed paint are ban from our field.
But for the price this paint is ok.my team uses it for practice and it leaves good marks where it hits.where we get ours from they only sale blue and orange.but for what we use them for its ok.i dont get alot of breaks in my gun with this paint and thats a plus.
Conclusion:
If your a rec baller or u dont have alot of cash to spend these are good paintballs for u.They are good for practice too , but i dont recemend these for tournies if you can byop.

Review:
I bought a bucket of 2000, and i regretted it. First, it started to chop in the barrel, then in the hopper. What a mess. I had to clean it like every 4-6 shots because it was choppin every other one. Seriously, don't waste your money on this crap
.
Conclusion:
DON'T BUY THESE BALLS!!! (unless you want to clean your barrel and hopper every 5 shots) Which NORMAL people don't.

Strengths:

Weaknesses:
DOES NOT break for ****!!!
They literally stink
Review:
allright.. so on the way to the field I picked up these paintballs for a good price at Academy ($30). Though as I was playing with them, they just kept bouncing off!.. I'd hit people constantly, but they won't break... they were very soft and got stuck in the hopper alot because they were sticky.
one good thing is that they have a thick fill... so every once in a while, when they do break, you know it.
Conclusion:
I used it a few monthes ago when the color of the paintballs was blue and they were awasome, but now.. they are green and just plain suck .

Recommended Barrels:
larger bore (.687-.693)
Strengths:

Cheap
Weaknesses:
Doesn't always break on target
People think they are terrible
Review:
Many people think that these paintballs are terrible, but for a day of recreational play they work great. The shell isn't all that brittle but they break most of the time. The fill is really thick and visible. It stayed on my clothes even after the day was over (I was using blue fill). Just about every time I hit someone, the ball broke. I even lit a few people up with them and they were covered in paint.
Conclusion:
For a day of rec play in the woods or on a field, these work great.

Review:
This paint was th absolute most horrible paint i have ever tried in my entire carreer of paintball. I believe that monster is better than this. When i used it though my ion, evey baal bounced, they would fly all over the place, and that if it did break, the fill was crap.

Strengths:

round when fresh
price
Weaknesses:
paint residue in bags
color...Sometimes. Explained in description
weak shell seams
Review:
This paint at my local wal-mart is $26.95 for a case of 1800, best deal anywhere. This is practice paint, not competition paint, hence the recreational series: I'm rating this with this aspect in mind, compared to other recreational series paints.
strengths:
This paint is always fresh since it sells out in less than a week at my wal-mart. The balls are consistantly round and have an amazingly thick fill for a practice paint. This is the best feature of the paint, the fill is as thick as pudding and leaves a bright color on clothing. Absolutely no wipes during play, but still is removed from clothing without discoloration or damage with soap and water. I'd say the balls are small, perfect fit is .685, however i use a .687 or .689 bored barrel depending on the weather and humidity. I have never had a break in barrel or chop with the light colored balls.
weakness's:
Don't even bother checking the bags for broken balls or paint residue, theres going to be some in 90% of the bags. However, i have never found smashed or shattered balls in any of the bags, just leaky balls where the seams didnt join correctly. If you really want to check for bad balls, just give a light squeeze, the bad ones will pop right at the seals without much pressure. The very worst part of these balls is when wal-mart gets a stock of dark blue/black colored ball shells. My halo b hopper and my guns eyes cannot detect these balls at all. This causes my halo b to try to keep feeding balls, then detecting a ball jam which doesnt exhist. This also caused several chops in my gun when i was trying to figure out the problem. Almost ruined an entire day of paintballing if i didnt have my backup tippman. These colored balls should only be used with mechanical guns. Lesson learned, I'm only buying these balls when the white, yellow, green, and multi colored shells are in stock.
Conclusion:
I prefer these over big balls and scorch because of the price and amazingly thick fill. For the dark colored shell balls i give it a 3/10. The lighter colored shell balls get a 10/10. Its cheap practice paint, super thick fill, and round - great when fresh.

None, balls didnt break unless you where in close range
Weaknesses:
Everything thin fill balls broke in gun
Review:
These balls SUCK !!! i bought 5 cases and every case had the same crappy quality and if your giving these balls a rating any higher than 5 then you must have never used anything better that walmart paint. balls break in gun not on target all had dents and fill was very thin
Spyder Xtra
16" Tiller Barrel
32 Degrees Universal Drop Forward
Sub Zero Expansion Chamber-Mabey, Looks like it though
Some Tubes for connecting Air System
Recommended Barrels:
Anything
Strengths:
Still the cheapest for quantity so far @ WM
Hurts when hits
Box
Weaknesses:
Wal-Mart Price, was 40$CAD now 50$CAD for 2000
Chops
Smell
Review:
Well these balls are the cheapest I found, I first bought these at Wal-Mart for 40$CAD, I had just gotten my gun and wanted to try out something cheap. I was not very amazed with the accuracy. But whatever, I played woodsball in late winter and had quite a few problems with them. My gun seemed to like to chop one of them evry so often, and when that happened, if i didnt clean the barrel, the ball would for some reason always explode just as its coming out of the barrel and not hit anything. Now I found out Wal-Mart has raised the price to 50$CAD (WTF Wal-Mart!?!?! What happened to "Every day Low prices"?).
Also the bad/good thing is that in woodsball, you might get hit and have the ball not explode on you so you can cheat. Im trying to get hold of a "WhiteBox" and see if its really that bad as people say.
Conclusion:
Buy if you beginner/poor(13-17 year olds will probably buy this) or are just playing for fun.
Bring a barrel cleaner and some water incase it chops.

I haven't used them in enough barrels to make a recommendation.
Strengths:
-Cheap for quality
-Small seams
-They seem to be fairly reliable
-Available at Wallyworld
Weaknesses:
-Not all boxes are the same
-Some are oily
-Breaks in hopper
-Smells REALLY BAD
Review:
I bought these paintballs because I was searching for an inexpensive ball that would work in my Flatline barrel. I got a 2,000 round bucket at Walmart for about forty bucks. This bucket(which smells like a diaper pail) was full of dry black balls with thick, orange fill. They performed great. I had very few breaks and good accuracy. A month later I bought another bucket. When I opened it, it was full of oily navy blue balls with thin yellow fill. They were slightly more warped than my first bucket and they weren't as accurate. I guess the paint buckets vary in more areas than just shell and fill color.
Conclusion:
I would recommend this paint if you get a good dry bucket that smells like crap, but if they are oily and full of thin fill, they don't do as well. I'd give my first batch a 9 but the second I would only give a 5.
Please remember to rate this review!
