Proball, Brass Eagle, Viewloader, they aren't as good as these.
Marker Setup:
Tippmann 98 Custom, J&J 14" Ceramic.
Recommended Barrels:
I've used the J&J with it, they work great.
Strengths:
They shoot straight, accurate, don't break in your barrel, break on target. I like how the shell is a dull green and f\he fill is a bright orange, hard to spot in the air.
Weaknesses:
Nothing that affected the performance. The seams seemed kind of noticeable or big, but they still shot great.
Conclusion:
Get this paint. It's extremely cheap for the quality. I'll buy another case when I get the money. (40 bucks)
good experience with Smart Parts tear drop (mine) and friend's all-american/Tippman 98.
Strengths:
One of the most accurate paints I've used recently. Had been forced to use crap field paint recently, and hated every minute of it; ever try cleaning a tear drop after barrel breaks? NOT fun, and you have to do it each break...Switched to the Big Ball...and had one partial break in the next 500 shots. SUPER-accurate. I can't say it wasn't the barrel, but a few hours without a break was pretty much unknown since last fall. Call me an old newbie, but have to do much mor research on paint. In the meantime, this is definitely a product I will search for when playing.
Weaknesses:
Nothing I saw. broke on target, not in gun,and flew straight.
Conclusion:
A very solid paintball. You won't go wrong with this.
I own a regular black Tippmann Model 98, 12 inch J&J 2 Piece, Vertical Adaptor, 32 Degrees/Boblong Expansion chamber, 20 oz co2 tank, 4+1 Harness, Remote, Psycho Ballistics Aluminum Front Bolt and Powertube, Polished Internals, Psycho Ballistics Double Trigger, Valley Firearms Lighten Trigger job (reduces grinding), Trigger stop (makes it shorter), Maddmann Springs (makes the trigger pul lighter), 2 more custom trigger mods, 12v revolution, and i think thats it....
Recommended Barrels:
J&J 2 Piece
Strengths:
- Consistant shape
- Breaks on target not on gun
- Cheaper
- Wide Varitey Colors
Weaknesses:
Nothing really
Conclusion:
This is one of the best paintballs that I have shot in a long time.... Balls kept on breaking and breaking with proball today.... and breaking with old premium....it was horrible.... then i switched to these paintballs and not one break. they were a little more accurate too.
Fresh Premium have shot the best out of my barrel and this comes second tied with marbs.
98c w/20oz tank. currently using stock barrel, looking around at different ones.
Recommended Barrels:
Worked great with dye xcel
Strengths:
Cheap, the arena (it's indoor) i go to uses these, and they arn't bad at all. put more than 500 through on a single sunday night, and haven't even have a break.
Weaknesses:
Well, the accuracy could be improved, but that's probably my barrel. I borrowed a fellow tipp player's Dye xcel, and shot REAL straight, and i guess that's what counts.
Conclusion:
Hey, if you arn't willing to fork out 80 bucks for a case of Diablo's, then take a look at these.
PMI Piranha STS G3 VF with 20 oz. or 9 oz. tank. 12v Revolution hopper.
Strengths:
They are matched perfectly for my stock barrel (maybe because they are both made by the same company?) Shoot straight. Have used many times in all day playing with very few breaks or chops.
Weaknesses:
Nothing really. Not a very good cold weather ball though.
Conclusion:
I would recommend this paint to anyone (especially if you have a Piranha).
diablo midnight- still use often..... good ball too
pmi premium-JUNK
brass eagle-get your greasy big seam swerve on
team colors- ok if you really hafta use 'em
Marker Setup:
shutter, 32 degrees 6 stage x-chamber, boo-yah drop forward w/ on-off and regulator, stainless line, stock barrel, 14 j+j pro series, and 18 inch smart parts big daddy all american barrel
Recommended Barrels:
this is a medium to big bore paint so it works really well in the same type of barrel...... only use it in my 18 inch smart parts barrel since j+j is known to be a medium bore barrel
Strengths:
good fill
not greasy in bag
no barrel breaks (then again when u match paint with your barrel u will have a lot less barrel breaks)
very straight shooting paint..... always breaks on target
Weaknesses:
haven't found anything bad yet
Conclusion:
overall good paint...... only rps/pmi paint that i will buy...... in my book it gets a 9....
