Review:
I enjoy playing with formula 13's main reasons being the the easy brittle and bright fill other also that it fits my Spyder sniper barrel perfectly. However It's Main downside And I do believe many would agree with me is the price attached to this product has risen to a point where one may aswell fall back to other balls I'm currently Using the TBP Meteor which is just as good with a 25 % reduction in price till The pricing drops.
Conclusion:
Being hit with a Diablo F13 does make a huge difference Compared to cheaper as some cheaper ones can really damage skin even while wearing protective clothing yes I'm looking at you SAFCAPS.

Review:
Me and a friend bought a case of it and it was bad. I got a Mr-1 and he has a A-5 and the balls were curving and dropping. I don't know if that was just that one case but i stop using them and didnt even finsh the case. They were not worth the price.

Review:
These are the paintballs my local paintball field uses. For the most part, I've had pretty good experiences with these balls. They work well in my Spyder Classic with a SmartParts barrel. The first time I used Formula 13s, I did have a few break in my gun, but I think it was because of the gun itself and not the paint. The balls shoot nice and straight, usually break well on impact, and have a bright and easily visible fill. They seem to have a long shelf life too which is nice. I have some of these balls left over from last winter and they still perform well a year later and hold their shape. The only complaints I have about these balls is that the paint is very oily and does stain clothes if not washed off right away. They also smell pretty bad.
Conclusion:
Overall, I was satisfied with these balls and would recomend them for their performance and long lifespan. Personally, I do perfer R.P. Shearer paint over these, but they do their job

Review:
I got these for $40 at my local shop, they had just switched from JT monsoon paint to this so i tried it out.
The GOOD:
These paintballs are what you would expect from any rec paint, Good fill, some bounces, and moderately priced. but what was different about these were that they had a great fill and a bright shell.
Conclusion:
Decent paint, depending on the batch. Cheap, bright fill, decent shell

Smart Parts Vibe, Smart Parts Fire-bolt, Empire Reloader II, Custom Parts 14" Linear Barrel (1 piece)
Strengths:
Shoots straight, great for woodsball; hard shell. Thick fill. Easy Clean-up.
Weaknesses:
Can dimple, hard shell can be a downfall. Doesn't break.
Review:
I've only used these ball in woodsball scenarios. A few of my group members were using them as well and we all said the same thing about this paint. Basically, it shoots straight but doesn't break easily. The fill is thick & bright; it also comes off very easily in the wash. For the price, they're not too bad however, I spent less and bought some PMI premium paintballs and found them to be way better for the buck. Not bad paint, but not great paint. Shot about 1500 of these with no breaks.
Conclusion:
Paint isn't terrible however if you can find any type of mid-grade PMI or RPS paint, your same amount of money will be better spent.

This paint is some of the better quality for lower price paintballs that are starting to come out.
I like this paint beacuse its one of the best paints to use in my barrel (Redz) and will shoot right on top of each other and will never break in your gun. It also has some cool paint concepts (Shell and Fill colors).
Conclusion:
Very good paint. If its at your local field, use it.

Review:
I used these balls at a Splatbrothers scenario as Top Grade Paint, for $65. I later saw on the net that they go for $47.99, but nonetheless pretty pricey. I found them to fire straight, didn't have a problem seeing if I got hit, or hit someone else either. Overall I was very impressed with these paintballs, and, when opportunity presents itself, I will buy these again.
Autococker trilogy sf with a kaner barrel kit, cp drop forward, crossfire 47/3k compressed air tank, reloader b hopper

Recommended Barrels:
i used every barrel i had from the kaner kit and my aci zero gravity kit, nothing worked. i had a .692 insert and these paintballs were still breaking
wgp 2 piece is reccomended
Strengths:
The plastic bags that hold the ball are good for putting garbage in..
Weaknesses:
Way to brittle, i drop one to the ground from 3 feet and it broke
Review:
I bought a case of this from a local shop, was looking for a new paint to try that was bigger then the spectrum ive been shooting. the shop recommended this stuff at 48 bucks a case i gave it a whirl.. now i dont know if i had a bad case or what but 1out of every 3-5 balls i fired broke. i tried every insert i had from .683-.692 and i got break after break. i opened up the second bag of 500 and it got a little better about 1 out of 10 breaking.. still i was in the middle or a scenario game and couldnt be down cleaning my barrel every 5-10 shots. had other players try it and they had the same problems in every type of marker from an old prolite carbine to a vs1 and a couple of tippmanns and an ion it broke on everybody.. at 48 bucks a case i expected better i wont be buying this paint ever again
Conclusion:
I dont recommend this paint.. very brittle on 50 degree day... just broke in my gun and was useless
5/11/08 used the 1000 rounds i had left of this stuff just to see what is up...used my old autococker and the last 2 unopened bags shot great... looks like i might have a really bad batch the first time...only time will tell

any is fine, but probably along the lines of smaller barrels
Strengths:
Very acccurate
Very few chops
Inexpensive
Bright colored
Weaknesses:
None really
Review:
I tried this out in my backyard and at a few woodsall games, trust me it's one of the best winter paints you cna find for the money. Very accurate, inexpensive, never chops, and is bright colored. Its overall just a really good brand of paint. The all went straight and i hit my target every time, no more curve Balls!
Conclusion:
good quality paint for the price, it's no doubt a steal for around $40-$50. I would recomend this for any winter player playing outside.
