Currently I use a Smartparts ION with aftermarket Bolt, Dropforward, and aftermarket Circuit board.
Recommended Barrels:
Most barrels I have found suitable for this paint
Strengths:
Very Circular shell, Resistant to Dents.
Weaknesses:
Lower Quality Gelatin Shell
Review:
If anything were to strike me as obvious it would be that super swirls look alot like Marbilizer paintballs, wait, Even made by the same company. Thats because they practically are the same. A couple of years ago Wal-mart was having a problem selling their "brass eagle" line of paint. Don't blame them, that paint was horrible. Well they called up RPS. You can't say no to a sweet deal like that, and RPS designed a brand of paint that would be good quality and cheap. Well I have used alot of different paint and there is nothing wrong with the way Super Swirls shoot. Actually it has alot to do with selection. Some people just go to wal-mart and grab the first box they see and head for the register. When you should actually take a moment and look at it before you buy it. I never hesitate to open the box right there in the Aisle and check the bag for broken paint and "common dents" (little dents on alot of the balls mean it was sitting there for a while and tends to cause unwanted curve shooting). When I have found a good bag I head off. With most of the Markers I have used this paint with I have not had many problems.
Conclusion:
The Paint is Good quality at a very reasonable price, There should be no reason not to check it out.

Review:
I was at Wal mart, hoping to find some decent paintballs. I decided to get these, because all the other paintballs were Brass Eagle crap. It turned out to be a great decision! When I first shot them, I was surprised with how good they were. They almost never curved, they never broke once, and I loved the bright fill. I shot once at a tree. Then tryed to hit the same area with my remaining 9 balls. 8 of them were in at least a 4 inch radius of the first shot, and 1 curved and missed. I was very surprised at how accurate they were for how cheap I got them. So, I used them at a game at Jocks Junkyard, (its just a local junkyard) and was also impressed with what I saw there. They seemed to stay on target from a long distance, and never broke once.
Conclusion:
They are great paintballs for a great price. I reccomend them to anybody, and for any gun.

Recommended Barrels:
any with rifling
Strengths:
Hard shells, burst on contact, not to expensive
Weaknesses:
Nothing that is a crucial flaw of the paint
Review:
I normally use marbellizers b/c of my response trigger which chops cheap balls constantly. i bought some of these bc a friend of mine who played speedball said they were good. the first case i bought was in mint condition, no broken balls in the bag. i loaded up the hopper and went out in the woods. within the first 3 or 4 shots i chop one at the feed neck. this was kind of my fault, i had my r/t turned way to fast for my hopper and i was unloading on this guy. after about 3 or 4 more shots my barrel was clean enough to fire straight again.
Conclusion:
I think this is definately quality paint for the price. nice bright fill, a little thin for my taste but perfect for everyday games. seems to work good in every marker ive used them in(mine, an a-5, piranah sts vf g3)

Review:
I bought this paint at walmart because i heard it had the same shell as marbalizer. when i took them out of the box they all were round but they have a small bubble of air inside of every one. they shot very well and i had no breaks out of 1000 shots.this is the best paint you can buy at walmart

Review:
This stuff is rediculous! My friend and I bought just to mess around with he also has a PM6 and a DM4(mine is a DM5) and I don't know if it is just our halos couldn't see the paint or what because it was breaking in the hopper, breaking in the feed neck, breaking in the barrel it was breaking everywere in all of our guns, I will never ever ever buy this stuff again, this is some of the worst paint I have ever shot.

Review:
I have been trying a lot of different paintballs to try & find a good match for my marker & barrel. Super Swirl and Scorch were two inexpensive wonders! These shoot just as good as Marbalizer in my gun. As with any paint, freshness means everything. I've shot new and old batches of the same paint types with drastic differences. I think the reviews of this paint that are really bad are due to old batches that have probably been sitting way too long.
Update:
I finally got a bad batch. They seem like they're larger than normal and break in the barrell almost every other shot. Also the ones that make it out curve wildly. I lowered the overall rating.
Conclusion:
Want good inexpensive paint? Try it.
Update: still gotta give 'em a fairly high rating, most often it's been a good buy.

Strengths:

Barrel breaks.
Review:
I don't know if I bought a bad batch or what, but I just played outside today in decent weather about 50-55 degress. These things sucked I was shooting green snow most of the day. I finally got fed up with these and dumped them onto the field so a newer newb could pick them up and use them. Like I said maybe I bought a bad batch but, I won't be buying them anytime soon. Especially when for a couple buck cheaper I can buy some scorch and those don't break in the barrel.
Conclusion:
I guess that you could try these but, just go buy some scorch or neslon precision.

Review:
I went paintballing at my friends house and a couple of us picked up a case of super swirls just to try them out. We played the whole day with no problems with the paint. I used all of my paint up but one of my friends had a torn open bag that he didn't finish. A few weeks later i went back to my friends house and saw that the ripped open bag was sitting in his basement the whole time. So a couple weeks later we were paintballing again at his house and he decided to use those balls that sat in his basement for about 2 months just to see how they worked. Amazingly they worked just as well as if we just opened them. Great paint, go and buy some
Tippmann A-5 (stock unfortunately) Am looking into the J&J Ceramic barrel though...
Recommended Barrels:
Any
Strengths:
No bulges or abnormalities, good fill, flies straight.
Weaknesses:
The fill I used wouldn't do good in the woods (light green) Thick shell
Review:
These paintballs are once again the kind from Wal-Mart. I expected problems just like any other wal-mart paint. I was actually suprised when these flew straight! Line it up and shoot and it'll hit whatever straight on! The shell was kinda on the thick and hard side but nonetheless it was good paint. Not sure about the price, can't recall.
Conclusion:
Good paint especially coming from walmart! (God forbid!) But worth a buy.
PMI RPS Rampage-way better!!
PMI RPS Premium-way way better!!
Marker Setup:

Recommended Barrels:
It worked ok in my progresive
Strengths:
Umm....are there any??
Weaknesses:
The balls were all dinted, isnt that cheap and the fill was pretty ugly.
Review:
I got these balls at wally world one day (my first and last time). I figured they would be ok because they are made by PMI but i was wrong. No balls were broken but there was a little paint in the bag, which made all the balls literaly stick together. They were pretty acurate considering but the fill is pretty ugly.
Conclusion:
I wouldnt recommend this to really anyone who is a serius baller. They arnt worth the price though. I bought 500 for 13 bucks. By the way dont by paint from wally world!!
