Decided to try these out when I saw them at Walmart. A few bucks too expensive for a rec ball but these are decent balls. Fly straight not barrel breaks unless I chopped one and a fairly nice fill. The only problem is that at my local walmart they are only sold in half cases which makes buying 2000 more expesive than just buying a case and in every box at least one ball is broken. Probably not the fault of the ball but the handling of the cases.
Conclusion:
Nice ball that you can pick up localy and is almost always in stock, I'd use them again.
Spyder Victor, Freak barrel with SS back, Shocktech lpc, revy(midnight blue and black dust), 20oz co2.
Recommended Barrels:
any will do
Strengths:
Tough, awesome looking.
Weaknesses:
Nothing
Review:
I don't see why these people are giving these paintballs bad reviews they are very good paintballs. They are really good paintballs and one of the best things you can get them at wal mart. They are some the nicest paintballs you can buy. They are very cheap too. They very rarely chop. I chopped 1 time cause I out shot my revi but other than that they never chop.
Conclusion:
Buy them. They are da bomb. Don't listen to these people. They are very good paintballs.

These balls are ok, but for RPS they're crap. They're supposed to be cheap marbalizers but they are no where near them. They have super thick shells and no paint. They're cheap and easily found at any walmart so you have a better choice than BE or VL stuff. Good for the weekend warrior or the every so often rec player if you're on a budget.
Conclusion:
I've had good and bad experiences with these. They're not that great. RPS should have just not made them. Pick up some Diablo Dusk or Sheridan Visible Impact if you're at Walmart. Those seem to be the best paint there.
These didn't curve that much, and they did break when they hit the person but not in the barrel! Very cheap, and good quality!
Weaknesses:
Just curve a little but still hit your desired target. Great for hitting something close up (50 ft.) but not to great for sniping but will work for both.
Conclusion:
Very good balls, and you should get them at your nearest Wal Mart.
the price is right
easy to get right at wal-mart and they are open all the time
accurate to the tee baby
hard
breaks on target
no barrel breaks and ive shot over 8 or 9,000
Weaknesses:
huh,please
Conclusion:
(smart parts all american stainless steel for me)
these ball are under rated by pro shops that because they dont want to admit u can get somthing good from wal-mart but guess what these are better than any ball i ised from a proshop and they are fresh so wal- mart do yo thing to contrbute tothe paintball world.get the right barrel (smart parts all american stainless steel for me)
and u are blazen on the field and watch those others burn under your fire
Cheap nice almos seamless shells. I like these better than big ball
Weaknesses:
sold at wallmart- bad rep of selling crap paint
Review:
I hear about how this paitn breaks in your barrel, maybe its because you don;t have a proper paint to barrel match. Its kinda hard to get a proper mathc sicne onl wll mart sells them adn i never seen or tried to take a barrel inside wall mart.
This paint is nice. LEts face it any paint form rps or pmi will be great.
Conclusion:
RPS is poor mans marbs. Its really inexpensive so go to wallmart and try a case of 500 out.
Blue streak-actualy better then this
Other cheap paint-better
Marker Setup:
Piranha Ext Pro- uped spring set, remote coil, and 16in J&J Ceramic Barrel
Recommended Barrels:
None, throw this stuff out
Strengths:
Box looks cool
Weaknesses:
Everything
Review:
This paint is not worth the money. For 5 bucks cheeper a 500 you can buy blue streak which also sucks but atleast blue streak once and a while does not break. This "super swirl" stuff breaks all the time. Its not worth the money at all. For the same price i get some nice xball golds at my local bait shop plus free air. There are much better deals out there and Wal-mart does not know what they are doing as far as paintball is conscered. I did like the Talon Ghost though, that was fun just to goof around with then you can return it for a full refund.
Conclusion:
Dont buy this. Im usualy a pretty generous guy in my reviews but this is horrible paint. I gave blue streak a better score. Buy some nice paint its worth it. I wouldnt even use this if you paid me.

Recommended Barrels:
none
Strengths:
bright fill
cool looking shell
fly straight
Weaknesses:
some have dimples
too oily
shell is kind of messed up feeling
Review:
I used these balls the first time I played paintball. They were bought for me. Good thing because after using those and another box I bought Ive come to the conclusion that these things are crappy. First off the fill is runny and sometimes hard to see, second the balls are so oily. Third, the shell has a texture unlike any other paintball Ive ever shot, its kind of rough whereas every other ball has a smooth shell.
Conclusion:
These balls are below average, although for newbies or target practice you cant go wrong. They're priced pretty cheap, but you pay for what you get. A below average cheap paintball.
tippmann a5
super old but insanely good hammerhead barrel
12oz crome-molly co2

Recommended Barrels:
Any???
Strengths:
Shell
Price
Weaknesses:
Fill color transparency
Review:
These were the first paintballs i used ever, they did well in the beginers gun i had with the stock barrel. but i realized that with a better barrel i could shoot even better. other than the fact tha tthe old gun chopped alot, the only somplaint was the shell color fill. its kinda transparent but breaks and splat along with target destruction, were awesome.
The color patterns and shells kinda make it seem like the marbalizers.
Conclusion:
Decent for the money. not the first thing i'd go for though.
Diablo-very good paint
PMI Premiums-excellent paint
Zaps-poor man's paint, pretty decent
Marballizers-best paint on the market
Precision-great paint
blue streak, wild streak, monster balls, annihilation-complete garbage paint
Marker Setup:
Spyder VS2
universal spyder virtue board
infiniti trigger
12" CP barrel

Recommended Barrels:
any decent barrel will do
Strengths:
Cheap
Pretty accurate
Nice and brittle
Cool color
Weaknesses:
Chops somewhat often
Review:
These are literally the poor man's marballizers. I usually buy these for woodsball play when they go on sale for 30-35 bucks a case. At that price, this paint is pretty good. It shoots pretty consistently, though as mentioned I would chop a few every round. In woodsball, not that big of a deal. I wouldn't take this paint to a tourney, though. The green fill is fun, I haven't seen any color quite like it so you know who you shot if you shoot this paint. This paint is surprisingly brittle, which is A GOOD THING. I see people all over this site complaining about how their paint breaks too easily when squeezed or dropped. If a paintball you have breaks when it's dropped, you have AWESOME PAINT. You want it to be brittle so that you don't get bounces left and right on your targets.
Conclusion:
This paint is very decent considering the price. Perfect for any and all woodsballers and scenario players.
