Recommended Barrels:
None, these paintballs are the worst I ever tried.
Strengths:
No strengths.
Weaknesses:
Dimples
Shell become lopsided after sometime.
Horrible Paint
Review:
First of all, I order PMI Premiums and they sent me this crap RPS Menance. I have not knowledge of this paint but I wanted a reason why they sent me the wrong paint. They told me that it is the same paint and that they are out of premiums. THAT IS BS!!. As soon as I opened it, These balls had dimples. I was disappointed but I gave them a chance on the field. BOY!!.. This paint is horrible I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to AVOID THIS PAINT if you can. Did not fly straight with my teardrop. And after few months of storing unused paint, the shell became lopsided which doesn't happen with premiums or other medium price paint. AVOID if you can.
Conclusion:
AVOID this paint.

DraXxus Blaze, which, without a doubt, blows Menace out of the water.
Brass Eagle Afterburner, quite a bit better, not as good as Blaze.
Marker Setup:
SP Ion, Crossfire HPA, Red Reloader B
Recommended Barrels:
I'd recommend throwing the paint rather than shooting it.
Strengths:
I'd say the price, but that isn't a strength.
Weaknesses:
Smell, Shell, Fill, is there anything not wrong with this?
Review:
Thinking I had a good deal, I handed over 20 bucks ( CDN ) for a 500 bag of Menace. Upon opening the bag, I realised one major thing. This paint smells like trash. And I wouldn't recommend eating it.
Anyway, on to the performance. When you buy this, the paint will definately be flat on several sides. It's pretty much a sugar cube shape. And the shell is comparable to bouncy balls. Throwing one at a road did nothing to the shell at all. If you do manage to hit something with this, because it will definately be curving, chances are it'll bounce, and your target will probably scream because it hurts. Another thing, when they do break, they tend to split in half rather than explode. Main problem with that is your splatter is about the size of a nickel. The fill is pretty lame too, I've been bunkered with this, and I kept getting hit because the guy who was shooting me couldn't see his breaks.
Conclusion:
Don't buy it. Spend the extra four bucks on DraXxus Blaze, it's way better.

Usually use the JT Freedoms/JT Tournament grade paint, which are great balls, but the JT's don't play well with my new Teardrop.
Marker Setup:
Tippmann 98c with R/T, 14" Teardrop, Halo TSA LED Frontman, X-Chamber
Recommended Barrels:
Teardrop, Any Tippmann Stock Barrel
Strengths:
No breaks in 2000 Rounds
Weaknesses:
Wish the Pink fill color was more vivid
Review:
Have used many different types of low-end balls (woods ball player). This is the best by far. Bought them for $40.00/2000 at Paintball Emporium in Jacksonville, FL. I was skeptical at first with the low rating given on this site, but I found that the rating was completely incorrect.
Conclusion:
2000 Rounds = No Breaks. Used in Tippmann 98c and A5 under extreme running sliding, crawling conditions.
Black Dust DM4, 60/4500 Crossfire, Egg. Team: The Losers (the team name is a joke)
Recommended Barrels:
Evil Pipe Kit/Dye Ultilight
Strengths:
Would not freeze
Weaknesses:
Dimples, would break in the gun not the barrel.
Review:
I would not buy these paintballs again because they would not fly strait and they are expensesive for the quailty you get. 1 out of 2 balls had dimbles. They would break on the target once in a while. If you shooting for practice they will break on anything solid. I had 5 paintballs break in the cyclone when I was using my A-5. I WOULD NOT BUY THESE PAINTBALLS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE BEST FOR THAT PRICE.
Conclusion:
I gave it a 4 because not all of them broke. I think I was lucky. DO NOT BUY THESE PAINTBALLS.
Super Swirl, Big Ball, Severe Cyclone, alot of different kinds of paint, i try to find anything that fits my barrel
Marker Setup:
Acid Black/Blue Stock Class Phantom
PMI Piranha VTL, smoke Empire Reloader, phat on/off and mini drop, E-force frame, 12 inch quiet riot, 68/3000 Pure Energy Tank
Recommended Barrels:
Something with a smaller or medium bore.
Strengths:
Cheap, not all bad
Weaknesses:
Not perfect accuracy
Review:
My parents got me a case of this for Christmas, which was 2-months ago, and Im just now using it, and they are shooting just fine. I have not used them in my Piranha yet, but in my Phantom, they seem to do just fine. The only problem is that they are kinda a small bore, and they sometimes roll out the end, but a set of Detent Rings will fix that. As for the barrel match, they are a little small there also. But as far as shooting goes, they do curve a little bit, but thats because they have been sitting in my room for 2 months, and in the basement wrapped who knows how long. The fill in them is a nice bright green wich is very visible from a good distance away. Its also a good thickness of fill, it cant be wiped easily.
Conclusion:
this is not a bad paintball for the price. There are other paintballs that are better for a bit more, and thats what I reccomend is buying a more expensive paint over cheap stuff anytime. Overall an Average paintball, ill give it a 7

Review:
These balls are okay enough to play with. However if you have the money, I recommend getting Diablo or Draxxus. If you're on a tight budget, you can use these I guess.. But it doesn't compare with the other balls. So these balls aren't the best, but they're good enough to play with.
Conclusion:
Use Diablo/Draxxus.. if you're on a tight budget, use this

Price

Thin Fill

Review:
Ok, I bought these to try something different fom the POS ZAPS I had been using. These were only $35 a case from a local paintball store in my area, which only $5 more than the ZAPS. Anyway, out of the package I did notice a few dimples with the first 1000 I opened, so I laied them out overnight and most of the dimples did go away. On the field I was pretty inpressed with these ball's, they were pretty accurate and broke on impact. I did, however have two to three ball breaks which could of been from a bad feed since I was not using a fast feeding hopper or due to the fact that I did not clean the old ZAP gunk off my bolt from the last time I played. Once a ball broke I was better off tossing paintball rather than shooting, but hey once I cleaned the barrel all was well again. The fill I thought was kind of thin, although it looked like it would wipe easy it in fact did not.
UPDATE: I have purchased several cases of this stuff and have not been dissapointed..Yet, except when I ran out and had to use Shrapnel.
Conclusion:
I play rec. ball and found these to be a great buy dispite the few chops. I would buy these agin with out a doubt. Good price good accuracy, ask the guy who was hiding in the brush about 30yrd away.

I have used everything from white box to evil and chronic
Strengths:
Price
Weaknesses:
Sometimes dont break
Review:
They are cheap paint. I get them for $30 a case w/ hookup. I think they are good paint for rec but for tourneys get somethin better. If your field has them and you dont have money get these. I have had mine for a month in my closet and they are nice. no dimples, and not birttle at all. I shot a bag with my freinds IMP and they were pretty nice. Had to wipe the slime off of them a bit but over all good. I am comparing these to cheap paint to Zap Spank, not Chronic or above.
Conclusion:
I really like them. Its either i get these or premium and i think they are just as good. Evil was a lot better, but always almost x2 the price.
