Ive heard complaints that when they hit, they hurt
Review:
Well, I was at the Badlandz at Chicago and the weather was around 30 degrees or so, and it was quite cold because it started to snow/have freezing rain. But the paint still refused to break inside the barrel so it as a very very dependable paint. However one complaint I do have is that the shell on the paint is very oily and slick, so it might leave residue/some oil inside your barrel that might affect your accuracy. Another VERY minor detail is that the shell is so thick, when you hit someone, it hurts like hell before it breaks (but thats their fault, nothing against the paint)
Conclusion:
Its good for the money, and it wouldnt chop in your barrel like most of the regular paint would. Its dependable, the fill is thick so people cant wipe, and its accurate until your barrel gets that nasty oily residue build up.

Review:
Used these once last weekend, and due to the cold(er) weather in PA at Wanna Play Paintball, I purchased the winter paintballs to avoid cold weather brittleness. These paintballs are a bit bigger, have a shiny coating and inconsistant seams. They flew fine out of my A5 and Custom 98 with smooth bore barrels, but were horrible with my Custom 98 Flatline barrel. Literally, every shot went curving off to who knows where.... (No consistency whatever!!!!!)
From a quality standpoint, I did not have any breaks, but the weather wasn't that cold, so can't really speak to extreme play.
Based on what I saw, its really just run of the mill paint for winter, nothing special.
Conclusion:
Overall, not bad paint, and if it holds up in *really* cold weather may be fine. But do NOT use this in any Tippmann Flatline barrel or you will be severely disappointed. 1 out of 10 for Flatline, 7 out of 10 for smooth bore barrels.

Not as accurate as I would have hoped
Review:
Usually I buy Arctic Infirno for the cold months, but all I could find was this so I tried it. Its I know winter paint is expensive, but this fell short on the cost/benifit scale. Not worth it in my opinion. I'd probably use it again if its all I could get, but next time I will try a bit harder to fint some Arctic.
Conclusion:
its ok, not great, but not terrable either. Kinda like buying a $60 case of mid grade paint.
Every hopper had several chops. Advertised as "Winter Paint", this stuff chopped in 30* to 60*. No matter how delicate the bolt, or which barrel, I couldn't even practice with it. I'm sure some fanboi with argue the point, but I really did buy a case of this, and it really was that bad.

Everything. Thes epaintballs are highly dimpled and are not round by any means
Review:
DO NOT USE THESE PAINTBALLS, unless you like throwing money away.
I used these as winter paint along with Origin. Origin performed much better than this paint and would recommend it as your winter paint
The paintballs were dimpled worse than any paint i have ever used. The paintballs were not round any the seams could be easily be seen. The fill was gel and half the time would not break. Diablo Nightmare or Heat paintballs are better. Switched to Draxxus Blaze to see how these work since the local paintball store do not carry teh Nightmaer or Heat in the winter
Conclusion:
DO NOT USE THESE PAINTBALLS, unless you like throwing money away.
