The newest paintball from RPS. Metallic shell with manufacturing properties that allow it to feed faster and fire faster. Perfect for those fast feeding electronic guns. Shell is half silver metallic with the other half matching the fill color.
Product Availability
The RPS Flash Paintballs are newer, so they should be commonly available.

Similar Products Used:

Marker Setup:
Revenge V2 electric blue, Halo B Loader, 91 ci 3000 psi nitro duck tank, the big shabang! has it all
Recommended Barrels:
I used a Boomstick and it shot very nice and far.
Strengths:
these paintballs fly straight, and far i hit someone about 250 feet away lobbed it
Weaknesses:
none that i detected
Review:
these paintballs are new by RPS they have the same shell as marbalizers from what i can see, they dont have the perfect seams like marbs but are pretty close.
I would recommend these paintballs because they are about the same price as marbs and about the same quality. I would shoot this paint again.
** FOR those who are complaining about the shell, its because they are like the Marbs, which have a teflon coated shell. It leaves your barrel better.**
Conclusion:
buy this paint of you want to spend the extra 10 or 20$ more for quality paint that shoots straight and far.

Review:
I only shot a case of Flash. I hated it. Out of the box the paintballs were dimpled. They would fly true for 20 to 30 feet and from there had a mind of their own.... well, that would be the 2 out of 3 that didn't break in my barrel. I would highly recommend this paint to anyone who wants to play up close and personal with a 'shotgun effect'. It makes a truely nice cone of neon green paint on barrel breaks. Other than that, it might make a good gift to the other team if you need a little edge.
I might have gotten a bad case of paint. I usually shoot Evil orange which shoots like a dream and have had good luck with the other RPS products. Even so, I wouldn't shoot this paint again if it were free.
Conclusion:
RPS makes many good quality paintballs.... This just isn't one of them!
all other rps paintballs, brass eagles, sheridans, blah blah blah
Marker Setup:
2002 vert dark green cocker w/ armson stealth (GREAT combo), dye stickies, and drop forward made by me :-) as a backup, a tricked out spyder
Recommended Barrels:
haven't found a good match for these...
Strengths:
most of them will work, just not very well. pbreview should get rid of this 100 word minimum thing. everybody just types "100 words" over and over or something just to fill it anyway. it's really quite pointless. don't you agree? pbreview wants the reviewers to put more effort into their reviews, but they in fact are wasting our time. i wonder if this fills the minimum... well, we'll see.
Weaknesses:
not very accurate. several will break in your barrel. not nearly up to rps's standards... pbreview should get rid of this 100 word minimum thing. everybody just types "100 words" over and over or something just to fill it anyway. it's really quite pointless. don't you agree? pbreview wants the reviewers to put more effort into their reviews, but they in fact are wasting our time. i wonder if this fills the minimum... well, we'll see.
Conclusion:
they are of medium quality. better than brass eagle, worse than slams/all star/marbs/el tigre. where i buy paint, it's either $17.50 for medium quality paint, or $22 for 500 rounds of good paint. this cost me $22, but was not worth it. pbreview should get rid of this 100 word minimum thing. everybody just types "100 words" over and over or something just to fill it anyway. it's really quite pointless. don't you agree? pbreview wants the reviewers to put more effort into their reviews, but they in fact are wasting our time. i wonder if this fills the minimum... well, we'll see.
Any Dye my friend used a flatline, and it work just as well,
Strengths:
I havent had any ball breaks yet, and i have been using these for about 6 months now. They are rather cheap and are just as good as Allstar paintballs.
I bought mine for $45 for 2000.
Weaknesses:
There are a few that have dimples, but they dont affect accuracy, but it does affect distance.
Conclusion:
I give this product an 8, because i dont believe anything is perfect. These are great paintballs. In my opinion, these are just as good as Allstar paintballs.
a totally souped up tippmann 98 with a bigshot barrel
Recommended Barrels:
bigshot and dye xcel work beatiful with this paint the xcel is the only barrel that is as good as the bigshot maybe the ceramic
Strengths:
its a straight flying accurate as heck ball and even in the cold i didnt break one of the 200 i used and my freind and his xcel didnt break one of 600 he used great ball id suggest buying this paint
Weaknesses:
some balls had dimples they are about two months old but the dimples didnt make the balls break or fly curved or anything didnt seem to affect the balls at all
Have used RPS Slam/All Star/Marb and the shell is much harder.
Marker Setup:
Smart Parts Impulse Vision with I-Frame/Delrin Bolt/Full Flow Vertical/Freak.
Recommended Barrels:
Large Bore.
Strengths:
Breaks very easy. Fly's straighter and a little farther than most paint
Weaknesses:
Shell is very Brittle.
Conclusion:
Overall the paint is good, but if you are a fast shooter you will break balls in the insert/Barrel even if you have an Impulse with the Vision Eye. Breaks 1 out of 20.

Allstars
Team Color
Jt maxims
Marker Setup:
2k Cocker, bomb 3-way, Smart parts aa
Recommended Barrels:
aa, boomstick, and any insert barrel
Strengths:
-DRY paintball, like the texture
-very brittle shell, comparable to allstars
-good, bright, thick colors
Weaknesses:
-Every ball i got had a dimple on it
-2/10 balls broke in the cocker
Conclusion:
My friend got a good case, i got a crap case. Every ball sucked. All balls were dimpled, inconsistent and broke. I had a good first impression, but i will never use these balls again. Diablos are the best balls, cheap and accurate as hell.
they work with my medium bore stock barrel... probably work with large too
Strengths:
*batch after batch without dimples!
*breaks on target, not in barrel (ran 3 bags of 500... no break!)
*VERY CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (like, 25 bucks for 1K)
Weaknesses:
*dont fit my friend's small bore boomstick (it's small to fit his phantom)
Conclusion:
RPS made another great product when they made flash. My friends are doing great with their RPS Premium and Big Ball, and I'm hitting lucky with my Flash. I reccommend these to anyone looking better buy with a smaller wallet.
