Review:
Overall this has been an exceptional paint for me. Out of all the other brands I have had experience with this is the most consistant and accurate for my setup. The only drawback I have experienced is the pale fill. One can tell they have been hit and it does mark, but it just leaves a darkened spot from the moistier of the paint. Besides the pale filling it is an excellent quality paint.
Conclusion:
I would recommend it. The problems with the fill cannot take away from the accuracy and consistansy of the paint.

I was so shocked when i tested these balls. They are probably the best balls Ive ever used. If you hold one of these balls up and drop it on concrete it will bust on contact, bust they wont bust in your gun. These were amazing to me. I got 200 shots from my 98c and 400 from an ion, no breaks. I never really think accuracy is much of the balls fault, but these were going strait enough for me. Great choice for speedball not woodsball, the shells to thin.
Conclusion:
I got these for $18 for a case, amazing quality, amzing price. Buy these.
PLEASE COMMENT OR SAY IT WAS HELPFUL.

at the time i owned a 32 rebel 02 BTB and a Tippmann A-5
Currently i own a AGD RT ULE with a custom Intelliframe and X-valve, Evolution II hopper, and Crossfire 88/45 stubby HPA
Recommended Barrels:
none
Strengths:
Extremely thick fill
Bright Neon orange fill
breaks easy
Weaknesses:
Way too brittle
shell is too thin
almost too oily
Review:
These balls are way too brittle, they constantly break in your gun because the shells are so weak and thin. and with the extra thick fill cleaning out your gun after a break takes up half the day. i used them multiple times and almost every other ball would come outta the gun in a mist of orange.
Conclusion:
You might save some money by buying these but its not worth it, and im sure you can find another brand within the same price range with better quality balls.
Shell is extremely inconsistent.
About every fifth ball has a paper thin shell.
Review:
When I opened the box, I was amazed at how great the balls looked. Perfectly round and smooth with no discernible seams. Color pattern was distinctive.
In 6 months and thousands of balls, I had never broken a ball in my Spyder, but these broke so much as to render me a defenseless target even after multiple squegees. Likewise with the SP-8.
Maybe I got a bad batch, but seeing some of the other reviews. apparently there are a lot of bad batches out there.
Conclusion:
I wish they shot as well as they looked.
Glad I only bought 500.

Paint gets chopped every other ball
Review:
This paint sucks balls
I have never used such bad paint in my life. I bought this paint for 30 bucks for 1500 but ended up just throwing it all away because I might as well shoot air. In fact it would have been better to shoot just air since every ball I shot either got chopped or some how managed to get in the barrel but ended up breaking.
Conclusion:
The only conclusion that I could come up with is that this paint sucks!!!
Wal-mart paint and premium paint. Both of which compare better than Predator paint.
Marker Setup:
Dye Matrix 6
Recommended Barrels:
A large ID barrell.
Strengths:
Their very cheap and a nice think, almost gooey fill.
Weaknesses:
Very brittle shell, wouldnt work through my Impulse, which runs very low.
Review:
Well what can I say, it was a cheap paint the Actvil. 1500 for like $5. But when I recieved them I noticed a couple broken inside the bags and cleaned them throughly. I shot a few times slowly around 3bps then got up to about 10bps and it broke within the tube.
Cleaned and tried again and again and the same thing happened. So I opened a bag without any broken paint in it. And they shot better but still had some barrel breaks and blown balls.

Recommended Barrels:
Medium bore
Strengths:
Round
Nice fill
Break good on target
Look cool
Weaknesses:
Not much, Just as long as you dont have a smaller bore barrel.
Review:
I started useing this paint when i first started. It was ok for a quick cheap 500 rnds or so. But When I got my J&J ceramic i noticed that they broke in the barrel alot beacause they were a bit larger than .68 caliber. This paint is overall good just as long as you match the paint to barrel size good.
Conclusion:
It good for some rec ball if you really choose. Its not really all tht much better than other paints like dbx or marbilizer but if its all tht you have

Recommended Barrels:
wisper works great
Strengths:
Good for medium distance shooting
Weaknesses:
Not the greatest distance shot good for flanking
Review:
These paintballs are a good value as long as you do not waste paint. they are cheap and pretty durable and good for short distace as well as medium range. When using this paintball i had zero paintballs break out of two thoughsand and are good mostley from thirty or less feet away.
Conclusion:
In conclusion these are good paintballs for an allaround player cheap durable and ok range

Strengths:
Look cool
Bright Fill
Weaknesses:
Dimples
VERY oily shells(almost soaked)
Chops easily and constantly
Review:
Outside the cool look and bright fill, this paint is horrible. For the same price you can use far better paint that won't chop, has just as good fill and isn't nearly as oily. Had a friend play with these with me and we couldn't play cause we both constantly chopped every other ball. After a cursing off and cleaning our barrels we got some zap paint and never chopped a single ball.
Conclusion:
Don't buy it no matter what unless for whatever odd reason you ultimately have no choice- just keep the squeegee close and ready.
Nelson NelSplat - better
Nelson HotSpot - better
Zap Spank - better
Marker Setup:
2003 Impulse Vision
Recommended Barrels:
.689
Strengths:
Stays round
Decent accuracy (up until it breaks in the barrel)
Weaknesses:
Above average barrel breaks
Review:
Even with my Impulse operating at 130psi, I seem to get above average barrel breaks with this paint.
For me, a ball that is prone to barrel breaks is not worth the trouble. I mean, the next couple of shots fly all over the place and/or you end up taking time out to squeegee it...just to have another ball break in the barrel.
That was my experience.
Conclusion:
This paint is cheap but the shells seems too thin and break too often compared to other paint around the same price (see similar products used section). SKIP THIS PAINT when possible.
