Review:
I have used this as the tourney paint for the 06 season at Hogans Alley Paintball in Meriden, Connecticut. Over all I used this 10 more times in one year. I paid$ 68.13 (thats with tax) a case at my local feild which is very pricey. But these paintballs are very good they fly straight and accurate. They don't ussually bounce and always break. There fill is very strong and bright "anti-wipe" the pink is probally the best for fill cause it is a bright hot pink with alot of fill.
Conclusion:
These paintballs are good but alot of money you can find cheaper paint at the same qaulity or better
Everything the paint that i even close to this paint was formula 13 from diablo.

Weaknesses:

Review:
These paintballs are the ****. They are meant to be thin so they break people. Its tournamentg grade paint. lesser paints dont ever break they suck. The thinner the shell the better. If your breakin them then turn down the velocity or somethin caus its your fault that they are breaking. This is by far the best paint ive shot yet. I like when it hits someone and actually breaks on them. I dont know about you guys though, saying you like lower grade paint better. Sounds crazy to me.
Conclusion:
Awsome paint!!! Worth every penny if you know what your doing and how not to break paint. Ive shot near 10K of these and I havent broke one yet. I dont care if you belive me or not. Almost 10,000!!!!! Not one broke in my ION.

Review:
Well, I used about 2 cases of these last year in the winter time. I never had a problem with them chopping or breaking but the fill was excellent. I recently picked up two more bag for a practice last week, I must say I was impressed yet again. The ball always broke on the target. Yeah, you could probly wipe this but I don't recommend wiping at all. YOu will probably get bonus balled. Very consistant size, very round, minor dimplage, fly straight and true.
Conclusion:
NOt a bad paint. Empire makes quality stuff, so it must be quality paint.
Field Blaze- worked well, then started having consistency problems
Rampage- horrible, rarely round, thin fill
Field Nightmare- shoots well, doesn't break on target often
Marker Setup:
A4
68/4500 LP Nitroduck
Halo B w/ rip drive
Recommended Barrels:
Works well in my stock barrel
Strengths:
Breaks on target
Thick fill
Shoots straight
Price ($50/case)
Weaknesses:
Occasional break, nothing major
Review:
This was one of the field paints that i used for a few months at the field i went to in WA state. It shoots straight, almost always breaks on target and has a thick fill that's hard to wipe off. On a good day shooting Ramp, I could easily get 25-30 eliminations (no lie) in 8 hours. I recently picked up a couple cases for a BYOP at the field I go to, and it shot fantastic all day, I was walking in shots on people all over the field.
Conclusion:
I think that this paint is one of, if not the best rec paint out there. It's cheap, accurate, good quality, and breaks well on target.

Recommended Barrels:
Small to medium bore,it does very well with the Flatline and Apex too. I believe it to be
68.9-69.1
Strengths:
Good round ball,explodes on contact,shots accurately for me.Thick & bright colors.
Weaknesses:
Orange is a little to dark but not bad.
Review:
Well so far i've yet to get a bad batch both local and online goes for about $60.00
give or take. I've used it in all my guns and barrels,so far no problems hardly get any bounces that I can see.
If You have used Marbs they are roughly the same size,
paint thickness and brightness. More colors though with Ramp. The shell is alittle more brittle but no barrel break using it in either Apex or Flatline or any of my other barrels for that matter. I've shot aleast 8 cases of it and like i said no problems so far. Stores well too under proper conditions.
Colors that i'm aware of that Ramp comes in is Pink,Yellow,Green, and Orange
Personally the orange is thee lest brightest.
Conclusion:
Nice round sphere,shoots pretty straight with what I have used for guns & barrels.
Nice thick fills & bright colors (orange is not that bad but compared to the other colors I believe it to be alittle darker) You get what you pay for,it'snot cheap but neither are the results.

Review:
Well, i dont have much to complain about. i get the paint for 36 bux a box, because I work at the local field. it works well, shoots great through my Ion, and breaks very nicely. Thick fill. Pretty difficult to whipe.
50 bux a box without my discount, would pay that any day!

Strengths:
Round
Shot fine
Accurate(for a crappy batch)
Weaknesses:
My shells were barely brittle...
Review:
Once again, I write a review on empire paint.
We traded our engage in at our tourney when it was shooting like crap(bad batches, we couldnt take 2 in a row).
We got ramp. We were very pleased with it, because they werent flying as if we had barrel breaks anymore(we didnt with our engage). So, ya. We shoot these for the rest of the day. People say this paint has a brittle shell? I dont know if it was the humidity getting through to the unopened bags or what... because these werent too brittle. People say all the time that this paint is brittle or semi-brittle. You would throw them hard at trees, and they would bounce(even when fresh outta the bag). Oh well, they shot fine, they still broke when needed. The non-brittleness wasnt terrible. It wasnt as if you'd shoot someone, but it would never ever break.. But, you'd have to give a few extra shots for bunkering just in case.. There were teams that lost because their paint bounced off people after bunkering. But, it is good quality paint nontheless. And once in a while, there are crappy to somewhat crappy batches made.
We just were unlucky that day(although we did place 4th)
Although.. I did go home, shot from about 40-50ft away at a 1ft by 1ft sqaure target... all but 1 shot made it in... Not bad.
Conclusion:
Get it. You'll like it. It shot fine through my Ion all day. No breaks in the breech or barrel.
8... which is still a great rating, but my experiences tell me it doesnt deserve a 10. Or a 9.
Very smooth shell
Some bright fills*
Consistent size
Brittle shell
Weaknesses:
Brittle shell
Review:
Excellent paint. The only people that will have a problem with it are people that either get a bad batch of this stuff or people that are running a high pressure firing mechanism (blowbacks, badly tuned elecro pneumatics, etc.) I've shot over 20 cases of this paint and have only had a few barrel breaks. Out of the last 5 cases I've had ONE barrel break. Excellent paint. As far as the fill, the Green and the Pink are the only fill colors I'll shoot. The others are bright, but not enough for me. The fill is thick and the Pink is stupid bright.
Conclusion:
If you have issues with All Star or Ultra Evil this is probably not the paint for you. If you want a great paint at a great price then give this a shot.
