Review:
I have gotten these as my 3rd box of paint ever and cannot praise them enough. First they have a reasonably thick shell, and can fly through grass easily without breaking, and they break on target. No bouncing! Now they may have dimples, but thats not a problem for these. They fly no matter what! The fill is pretty bright too. Cases of 2000 usually start around $40, which is awesome for a case of paint.
Conclusion:
Get these if you play woodsball. They are great for the price.
Too many to remember or list- PMI Premium, Marbs, JT recon, misc branded paint,
Marker Setup:
X7 Phenom, BK bolt, Flasc barrel
Strengths:
No barrel breaks!
Accurate
thick fill
Weaknesses:
Way too hard of a shell
Sticks together!
Review:
I used this paint for the first time and found it to shoot very well, accurate and no barrel breaks! Only downfall with this paint is because of the thicker shell it does not break well on non hard surfaces. I was shot in the leg about 3 times and hod no breaks, i was shot in the stomach/ vest area with no breaks! I was shooting people several times with no breaks, always had to aim for a hard spot- marker, tank, mask! Also another negitive i found with this paint it that if left in a pod for more then 30 mins on a avergae temp day (70 ish) the paint would stick togehter and had to be broken free.
Conclusion:
I would not recommend this paint as it being way to hard and not breaking easily!

Strengths:

Weaknesses:
Dont break, bounces, unaccurate
Review:
Alright, me and all my friends were all going paintballing, and we all cheaped out and got this for $35 a case. In my case, there were no broken balls and the shell had a two tone blue and light blue color. I loaded up and shot a couple, curve ball, curve ball, bounce, bounce. These paintballs are very inaccurate and don't break ever. After we were done playing, my friend had a little bit of paint, so he shot it at a pizza box, and there were some balls in the pizza box that were shot and didn't break at all. Probably 30 of the 70 shot did not break. I hope this helps.
Conclusion:
Use it for target shooting maybe, not accurate enough to use in ANY tournament or scenario, could be good rec paint, maybe. 3 because of bounces and innacuracy, good price though.

Strengths:
Shell colors greens/whites
Weaknesses:
The fill on greens
Review:
For how much money was spent on a case of this paint ($25) it was actually alot better than i thought. the green/darker green shell is really usefull for woodsballin for its harder to track. but the one thing i didnt like was the fill . its yellow. but like slime. more transparent than you'd think. but none the less still a great value compared to normal(price)
Conclusion:
Pretty good if you need something right away or dont wanna apend money. the dunhams i got them from always has them on sale $30 or less usually
Tippmann 98 custom platinum with Proto Primo and 12oz co2
Recommended Barrels:
Underbore to about .682
Nothing on craigslist
Strengths:
Shell, Fill, Durability, Canadian Made, Eco Fill
Weaknesses:
Inconsistent shell strength, thick fill, small bore
Review:
First off I would like to clarify that these are made by ProCaps AKA DRAXXUS and that i was lucky to find them. These paintballs are probably different to some of what the reviews underneath reviewed.
Review:
I got these at Canadian tire for 40$ canadian and I've been very impressed so far. they don't hook or curve but can be extremely tough shelled, i mean, I've dropped a couple from 15 feet and one bounced up higher than me and it took 5 more hard throws to break it. I can't play at my field with it but it's amazing for target practice. Shooting at 255fps it can hit a target the width of a telephone pole from 50 feet (stock barrel). one thing you need to do is under bore to about .684 if anything buy this paint and use at B.Y.O.P fields. Don't worry about it breaking if you drop it it's just fine. oh yeah after the drop it didn't have a dent.
Conclusion:
I'm giving this a 8.5 out of 10 because one the shell is very hard, the fill is very thick and it has a small splat. The accuracy is phenomenal and for 40$/35$ it's a steal, buy it. I highly recommend this product

I buy these at dunham's for 29.99 for 2000. They are a lot better than Monsterballs. Never had one broken in the bag or stuck together and they work great in my markers. Now I just use them for woodsball with my friends so people with higher end markers might have a diffrent view but i like them.

Strengths:

Weaknesses:

Review:
Tried these balls because they were on sale at Dunhams for $30. One of the best things i ever did. These balls are amazing. For woodsball i will not use any other ball as long as these are available. Fill is excellent, not tournament grade but you are not going to wipe it either. Shell is very good. No dimples or out of shape ones. The dark green/ light green shell is great. i can track it but hard to see coming at you. Ran it through my stone cold barrel and was hitting people that gave very little target. Awsome accuracy. If there are any weaknesses I have pinpointed them yet.
Conclusion:
These are great rec/woods balls. For $40 a case regular price i haven't found any better. Hopefully i can keep finding them cause they work. These are not tournament grade paint so i can not give them a perfect score, but close.

Recommended Barrels:
at least .691
Strengths:
Cheap
Cool Color
Thick fill
The box tells the actuall caliber (see review)
Weaknesses:
Shell is a little hard
Not the most accurate
Review:
I bought these not expecting the best paint but there actually decent. The first thing I noticed is that they tell the caliber on the box. Not just .68, they say .689. Good job Zap, finally a paintball company figured it out to put the actuall caliber.
I first shot a few paintballs to chrono my gun...I thought not too bad, I've shot better but they were accurate enough. The first game I shot one of my enemies like three times of the break...got three bounces. oh well. This shows that they are a little hard. I'm not sure how new the paint actually was though because I got them at a discount price of 30 bucks. I'm guessing that they are a little better newer.
Anyway, they shot good enough for rec ball and the fill was good and thick. I recommend a .691 barrel or bigger because that gives you a little leway for the ball to roll through the barrel. Especially when its hot because they will get bigger.
Conclusion:
As a whole, decent paint. I would recommend them for rec ball and practice. There cheap also, so if your tight on money they will help you save some cash.

Strengths:
Inexpensive.
Available at Dunhams
Good assortment of colors
Weaknesses:
The splats aren't that large.
A few balls broke.
Review:
I bought 2 cases of this stuff at Dunhams when they were having a sale, plus I had a coupon. I opened the boxes to make sure none of them were broken inside.
Got it home and put it in my basement for about 2 weeks until I could get a game started. I loaded them up and they worked great.
I did have a few breaks, but that was because my ball latch was worn out and I had 2 or 3 balls stuck in the barrel at a time. I fixed that after a match.
The balls fed AMAZINGLY well! I did full auto at 15BPS with the cyclone feed, and I only had to recock once.
I would say that 99% of them broke on contact.
The break isn't that large, but it also isn't sticky. It will wipe off, but it won't clump together and make it hard to get off after a match.
Just like any paintball, don't let them sit in the heat or in the sun. We were playing in about 70 degree weather for about 4 hours and they never got sticky inside my pods (which were spray painted black in a black harness and I was sweating BOAT LOADS).
Always inspect the case at the store before you buy to make sure they aren't broken.
Store them in a nice cool area, 40-60 degrees. Also, if you're taking a case with you to a long game, bring a cooler to set your paintballs in. You don't need ice or anything, just a simple cooler to keep the heat away from them. Even one of those cheap $5 Styrofoam coolers you get at the gas station will work.
Bottom line: for the price, you really can't beat it.
Conclusion:
Good stuff for the price. Good for woodsball or recreational speedball.
I would think it would be alright in tournaments, but if you're playing for money, get tournament level paint.

Review:
I started shooting these paintballs this summer with a cool group of guys from a local church. Obviously rec ball players so I went looking for some cheap, but fresh paint. The local paintball shop owner had paint priced at $50 and up, and one day I saw this paint sitting on his skid with Dunhams price stickers still stuck to it and he was trying to sell it for $15 more.
Come to find out the local Dunhams sporting goods stores all sell this paint for $25-35 a case all summer, with very high turnover so it is always fresh. Round, no dimples, and shoots fairly straight. Even better, it measures out to a .687 size so it will fit any standard barrel without having a bunch of barrel breaks. This is small paint compared to most other economy grade paint out there, which is nice because most issues occur when paint is too big for the barrel shooting it.
Conclusion:
Above average rating for economy grade paint that is easy on the wallet, still shoots well, and is a nice smaller than usual size (.687). Definitely not for tourney use due to the thick shell and wall thickness inconsistency throwing off some shots. but I get the stuff for 25-35 dollars a case so who cares.
