Brass Eagle, and i didn't get to use them because my friend bought other paint and i let the bag sit in my garage forver so they all got morphed.
Marker Setup:
Spyder Compact
Recommended Barrels:
i wouldn't recommend using any barrel, cause they suck
Strengths:
the only good thing about them is that they have a bright color and you can see where they are going really well
Weaknesses:
every third shot would break and then the rest would break after that. then i'd have to clean my barrel and the inside of my gun. i get about 10 more good shots from like 50 and i wouldn't ever hit anybody. they weren't acurate either. even when there was absolutely no wind at all, they would still go in all different directions. i was with two other guys using them also. one had a tippman 98 custom and the other had the same gun as me. they both had the exact same problems with their's. they even had some other problems that i can't remember too.
Conclusion:
if you absolutely have to buy these paint balls and you can't buy anything else at all, sell your gun and get a different hobby. i would even suggest , that for the pirros out there, buring down the factory where they are made.
PMI premium. RPS marballizer. 32deg team colors. I liked the premiums and the marballizers, 32deg. were ok. Proballs never again.
Marker Setup:
Tippmann 98c, RT. double trigger. tipp exp. chamber.
Recommended Barrels:
I used lapco bigshot, smart parts stainless, thunderpig, and stock. None of them made the ball fly strait.
Strengths:
Balls did not break in gun.
Weaknesses:
Would not fly strait. The Brass Eagles ball from the Marts were better. The worst ball I have used by far.
Conclusion:
Maybe I got a bad batch, or none of my barrels matched the paint. I would not buy again. I give them a 3 just in case there is something worse out there.
Tippmann Pro/Carbine, Smart Parts All American .689, Palmers Stabilizer, Air Tipps RVA,
Recommended Barrels:
can't really say
Strengths:
umm, nothing good about the case I got.
Weaknesses:
just about everything, at least with the case I got. I think maybe I got a bad case or a really old case. They refused to fly straight, until i turned my velocity down to 230fps (which isn't a good solution). I went through 800 rounds one day without hitting anyone, when I could kill the entire other team when using only 300 rounds of Nelson the whole day. besides being really inaccurate, they liked to bounce. I gave people bad welts, and with the entire case, i only took out one person even though I hit many people. they would bounce of my opponents masks. The one that did break, broke on my opponents mask lens and left a little dot of paint. They were also large bore when they were supposed to be small bore.
Conclusion:
I wouldn't recommend these because I've heard of problems from others, and I wouldn't depend on this being a consistant paint. If the manufacturer fixed the paint, and you've seen it work well, then you can buy it.
Very reasonable price. Shoots straight, very durable. I happen to like the bright yellow ones so I can see them. Four separate bags of 500 in a case is real nice.
Weaknesses:
Seem to have some quality control problems. The last case I bought had a ball that looked a little funny; it actually had a double shell! Many of the balls seem to have an irregular shape which surprisingly does not seem to effect accuracy that much.
Conclusion:
A great paintball for the price. It got it online for $40 a case free shipping! I will give it an 8 just because I don't give 9's and 10's out too easily and there were some drawbacks.
these paintballs have the thickest shell and are very good in bad weather. i played in the rain and didn't have a single barrel burst. i was using my impusle with an all american barrel. i have had good luck with these paintballs the whole time i'v used them. these are the best paintballs for snow or rain.
Weaknesses:
these paintballs aren't the best in the humidity. for that get marbs or pmi premiums

I have use many others and these are my pick of the litter as of now
Strengths:
Very Little, umm always available at TriggerTyme (where I live columbia,sc)
ohh yea it didnt break in barrel
longer shelf life
Weaknesses:
Crap!
Expensive -Well where I live anyway
Not accurate at all!
Dont break on target half the time, target being people
Conclusion:
I dont use this paint unless they are sold out of everything else! I hate it! Might as well leave the marker and throw them at your target! You will get about the same result! Maybe i just had bad luck maybe not, You will see if you use it.
I've used Brass Eagle and Viewloader (they're both the same thing) paintballs. Compared to Proball, they have horrible accuracy. The Proball, with a stock Talon, with a grouping of a about 12 inches at 50 feet.
Marker Setup:
I use a stock Talon with a VL 200 with no sight.
Strengths:
I used the orange / green shell with white fill. The white shows up extremly well, and the fill, unlike Brass Eagle and Viewloader, is not watery but not too thick. As I said before they have a 12 inch grouping at 50 feet with a stock Talon. And for the most part, they go where you aim them with one exception (see the Bad).
Weaknesses:
One ball out of about 25 curved horribly off course, but that was when the 12-gram was almost empty. At first glance a few 'balls appeared to have a small lip where the shells meet.
Conclusion:
An overall good product, not extremely accurate, but good enough. And for 400 paintballs at $20 (at the Sports Athority), you can't really go wrong. I give them an 8 for above average quality.
I have used nelson challengers, proball platium, BE, RPS (never used marbs)
random others. I have had the best luck with not breaking in barrel with proballs, but since i have changed my barrle from 32 degrees carbon fiber to dye boomstick (not titunium) they seem to be inaccurate breaks and chops all the time. Great for use in cold weather with slow firing rec games. not tourny quilyty.
Marker Setup:
-I shoot a spyder se, w/dye boomstick and carbon fiber, up graded trigger boo yah lcd grip and low pressure added, and bob long cyclone.
-model 98 w/ j&j ceramic
-pro-lite w/ sniper barrle
Recommended Barrels:
carbon fiber, tippman sniper, or stock spyder (never dye boomstick)
Strengths:
The hard consistant shell breaks mainly on target not in gun with right barrle of course. great in cold weather little expansion of shell and bright fills and breaks good making it hard to wipe off of clothes.
Weaknesses:
To picky about barrle needed for great performance, not enough fill in shell,
noticable seel. That effects accuracy.
Conclusion:
Great for rec woods games, don't buy for serious practices or to get a good idea of what paint to shoot threw your gun just buy cause its cheap and effective for rec.
