Many different kinds/brands of paint, mostly Draxxus and PMI.
Marker Setup:
CCM Series 5, CP .689 barrel
Recommended Barrels:
Apparently the CP!
Strengths:
Decently round, somewhat inexpensive compared to most
Weaknesses:
Not sure at this point.
Review:
I had been looking for a paint that shoots through my CP decently. Expensive, very cheap...nothing was shooting the famous 'darts' everyone talks about with cockers. Until now.
This stuff is great! I could lay there 30 yards away and hit a guy's hopper behind sandbags after 2 or 3 shots. But really that's more a result of barrel match. What really impressed me was how I could see the hit from that distance, and it would actually break on target. The orange is very bright.
Conclusion:
From what I've seen today, I would recommend it to anyone with a CP barrel. It just seems to work. It also broke very nicely on target which is always a plus.
Draxxus Dusk, Draxxus Heat, VL eyeballz, PMI Bigball and PMI Premium (PMI balls suck if you have an Empire twister barrel)
Marker Setup:
Tippmann 98 custom: 16" Empire Twister barrel, Hyperstar bolt, expansion chamber, collapsable stock, Red dot scope, 50 rd. hopper, and 9 oz. tank
Recommended Barrels:
Empire Twister barrel ( 16" or 14" )
Strengths:
Very bright and solid fill, extremely accurate, alot of colors to choose from no breaks
Weaknesses:
None
Review:
These balls are great, Draxxus makes extremely good paintballs, especially if you are just playing woods ball or just play every so often or if you are just starting out in the sport and want a ball that wont break in the barrel. I have tried several brands such as Viewloader, and PMI and Draxxus has impressed me the most.
Conclusion:
Spending a few more dollars on these will save you money in the long run because you won't have many breaks therefore keeping you well supplied with more paintballs in the end.
Not all that expensive, pretty accurate, good paint
Weaknesses:
None really, curve a bit at super high velocities.....
Review:
I love these paintballs. They are affordable and are definately good for any kind of play. I get them at my local Army Navy Paintball store for 40 per case. This is the only paint I have used, so i cant compare. sorry. if u find these somewhere, gt them, they are the best paint for the money
Draxxus Blaze- a little bigger bore and a little better accuracy. Blaze balls have less noticeable seams, and no dimples.
Marker Setup:
Tippy 98 stock (although i'll be getting a Palmer inline reg for it)
Recommended Barrels:
i've only tried it in one barrel
Strengths:
Pretty cheap ($44)
cool fill (yellow) and shell (green)
can't see them
no breaks
Weaknesses:
Dimples
big seams
small bore
weak at seams
Review:
Since my stock barrel is pretty much only accurate up to 50 feet, I shot from about there to a property line post (about 1.5 inches wide and around 2-3 feet high) with my velocity all the way up, which for some reason is really accurate for stock barrel. Although I hit the post about 3 times out of 10, a lot of the balls were very close and I think it was mostly human error. I also shot at an aluminum can and hit it just about every 3-4 shots.
What I hate, though, is that there are dimples in a lot of the balls and the seams are very obvious. Drop it on the ground from a few feet and they're probably gonna break at the seams, which in my eyes is not good.
Conclusion:
I was very impressed with these balls even though they had dimples and big seams. With lower velocities it seemed pretty inaccurate but for the price these go right in between practice and pro paintballs. Personally I like the Blaze much more because they're more accurate and have white fills. Play with them in your backyard

Fired about 12000 of these balls all wonderfull, nice collor and bust, solid, break just perfect, i recomend these balls 100 percent, my team has been using these balls with me with tippman 98s, spyders and they have never had any problems. low $ great ball to use when do not want to spend alot of $. if u have the money get these anyways.
Conclusion:
By want go wrong great with spyders and dye barrels
RED/BLACK Dm4, 88/4500 crossfire, pipe, halo
Ans cocker, boomstcik
Recommended Barrels:
Any Kit
Strengths:
they are better then what i have to use at my field
Weaknesses:
Sometimes they are not round
Review:
for 45 bucks this paint at bad at all, it dosent brake at all in my barrel or chop what so ever. it actaully brakes on a person. unlike my field paint which you can shoot point blank at a rock and the paint will bounce back at you. but for 45 bucks this paint is pretty good. if you want get it or buy something else, just dont get drakula attack.
Conclusion:
pretty good paint considering its pretty cheap and affordable.
Model 98, response trig, flatline, full stock, gta exp chamber, low pressure system.
Recommended Barrels:
flatline, boomstick, teardrop
Strengths:
Very thick fil, never breaks in barrel, accurate.
Weaknesses:
sometimes does not break at long range.
Review:
This paint is a great value. I cant say it is just as good as Marbs but for the price you just cant beat it. I had no breaks in my flatline out of the 6 cases ive shot through it. This paint is exremely durable. Ive had the most success with it playing woodsballo as it can cut through moss and palmettos if shot enough.
Conclusion:
Buy as much of this product as you can.

Review:
I've been using this for the past 3 months and have not had a single break(I've gone through about 3 cases). I'm swearing by this stuff, you want a nice priced durable ball this is what you want. I've used Zap Spanks a lot but I've gotten breaks out of it.
These paintballs are...well not bad, but not great. I was getting alot of curves and dives with them, i thought it was my barrel, gave it a couple of runs with my squeege....i think it made them worse. the fill color is really dull, kinda ugly looking. however they do break on impact 9 out of 10 times. and they're pretty inexpensive.
Conclusion:
OK paintballs i guess, i wasn't impressed with their performance
