Though you can still get red paint from Nelson and a few smaller manufacturers, they have fixed the staining problem and most modern red paint red doesn't look like blood.
Mag fed players should also avoid the higher tournament grade paints due to their brittle shells. If you're putting brittle paint into a magazine, you're gonna have a bad time.
Fuse Fire yeah often magfed is all hits count due paint is tougher. Sucks to shoot loosely clothed guy a full mag and not one breaks due loose clothes, bounce shirts and the like. If none were to use tournament protection midrange balls would actually always break.
Hello. I used GI 5 Stars paintballs at the last months and performed great. Shot from a Milsig M17 and Hybrid mag. I might test Valken Graffiti next to compare!!!
They Banned them in Canada, for the same reason, looks like blood newbies freak out, however, lots of good memories shooting RED paint back in the day.
He also forgot to mention that a lot of fields won't allow oil-based paint anymore either, also because of how much harder it is to clean, and that it also doesn't wash away from the field with rain as easily.
I shoot an axe2.0 with a dye ltr hopper. And never shoot anything more then 35 a case. I do well with it and recommend it. I play once or twice a month so I’m not stressing over pro level paint. I mostly shoot defy paint. . Great stuff
monster balls were mad popular in Hawaii when i was younger. ill never forget taking one to the top of the dome from like 20 ft away. it felt like a rock skipped off my head.
Blue was also banned by a lot of fields back in the early and mid 2000's because a lot of blue paint would stain just like older pink paint. I remember playing tournaments with pink fill paint and it would leave your skin pink for a week or more no matter how much you washed that stuff.
Cheers from Colombia! Here we call your monster balls "Smurfs" , and gosh do they hurt AND stain... In MLA (largest MILSIM organization across Latin America) we banned red paint because it may masquerade real injuries... Cheers
My experience with Valken infinity has been terrible, i've never had a case not have dimples or extremely oblong balls. D3fy is making some incredible paint for the price, even their practice/level 1 stuff. Have you had a chance to try out their paint?
yes someone feels me with that new d3fy paint. im not kidding when I say I shoot ropes at 35 a case yea it not brittle as the empire ultra evil I shoot too but it breaks when it is supposed to like a normal ball. if it was too hard I would up to 45 a case level 2 but I love their "practice paint"
The banned paint colors are really interesting! I knew about the yellow because it discusses it in NXL rules, but I never knew about the pink and blue.
I shot some valken graffiti after your video through my shocker xls and it shot great and had a nice spread. Here most parks have GI and to me doesn’t shoot as good and doesn’t break often. I get lots of more bounces and minor bruising from impact on me and usually by the time I’m checking if the paint broke on me like on my back or side I’m walking off.
I have an etha 2 and I will shoot anything I put in it. There I a small difference when shoot high and low end paint. My paint choice is valley infinity or outdoor. That stuff will last for just about ever if u store it right.
Shout out to monster ball for my scars. I also used to use it at American Canyon Paintball Jungle. Looking to get back into paintball in the next couple weeks.
I love paintballing. I just got out of the army, and recently got back into it here in Texas. I just got an Ollie lang CS1 and a regular ego 11 (expensive, but i love the sport so much and a big fan of Ollie especially the new 1v1 tour). I just wanted to say the sport has a high cost (paint and gear mainly). Other sports offer so much for the relative cost. (Jui jitsu is 100/ a month, basketball $30/ every few years, etc). Paintball is like 50-75 for paint alone, then admission fees etc. i think it would become a lot more popular/sponsored not by having better brand deals at the high end and marketability, but making it more cost efficient on the low end.
Will brass markers ever make a come back ? Like cockers are being rereleased. Would be pretty cool to have some new brass markers. Probably won’t happen due to the weight wimps but one can hope
Looking for a paint that is like the old school (2005-2010) chronic tournament paint or something similar to pro-ball silver/gold. Did zap just buy out all the old brands? I remember when it was Zapp and was dope but when they went under the first time and came back the quality was lacking... I've been out of the sport since 2010. Looking to get back out to the fields in the next couple weeks. What about XBall?!
Is there a correlation between thw marker's operation pressure and level of brittleness it can handle or are there more factors that determine how soft the marker is on paint?
Here in Maryland at our local field Blue is banned because we have paintballs at dicks sporting goods called Triumph paintballs and there solid too. Rarely break
Idk about monster ball but I got shot with a reball from six feet away like five years ago and the bruise lasted for a month, I can still see a slightly darker spot on my leg this long after. So if monster ball wouldn't break at three feet, RIP
Empire Polar Ice purchased in 2014/2015 Best paint I've ever shot and the ONLY paintball formula that should exist outside of a Speedball field. I have a few cases I've never used and to this minute there is not so much as a hint of sweat in the bag, the balls are still clean and firm.... How? Every other ball decomposes like a rotting carcass if you sit it for 6 months.
Been trying to meet u in person but keep missing u out here in modesto. I went to go buy that sarrico coat 77 ninja tank at extreme paintball because i saw it on ur channel and micheal said he sold it to you. Extreme paintball for life.
Haven’t played it about three years but last I used was graffiti,been playing since 2000 used all from cheap to expensive and there is a difference I remember using some paint called anarchy it was pretty kool and Allstars was good but now there is all new jacks now
I know this isn't relevant to the video but I'm just looking for paintball advice, I am considering buying a new paintball gun, and speedball really isn't my style, but most fields near me have relatively small woodsball fields and speedball, I was looking at getting a Tippman TMC or a Spyder MR6. I do like the idea of mag fed paintball just nobody in Western PA plays it that I could find.
thanks for your help, I kinda knew this but unfortunately I don't have access to any of these to just try them out so I really appreciate the response!
NXL events usually have 3 to 4 paint vendors, however in my all my experience of playing tournaments GI Sports provide the best paint you can possibly shoot.. My first choice of paint for a tournament would be G.I 5 star & 4 star if 5 is not available. No there is no 4 or 5 star I would probably shoot Ultra Evil which Ironically ended
Valken is having problems with their infinity. The new batches don’t shoot well at all. We switched to Defy paintballs and they have been doing great for our rentals. You can also go with Defy level 2 for higher end markers and it also shoots really good. Level 1 shoots so well you almost don’t have to even go up a level.
The problem is a ton of fields are pedaling shit quality paint for top shelf prices and requiring their fields to be FPO. When the cost of the paint is extremely low.
IAmNani _ Mini GS and Proto Rize can technically shoot any paint. I wouldn’t recommend super super brittle paint, Like NXL Event paint is a no go on a mid range electronic marker.
I have been to capital edge (which is in Sacramento) several times and the paint that they sell there is great works fine for everybody I go with but they do charge 60$ and have some colors banned. So regardless your going to have to use what they provide there and great vid keep it up.
I had a kid shoot me with monster ball years ago, he felt pretty bad because it felt like getting shot with a rock. He didn't have any money for field paint so I bought him some. A little after that that crap was banned from all over.
ive shot many paint on the market already, and ive shot gi sportz 4 star in my A5 and also 98, and i may have seen 2 ball breaks in total over years of using this set up
In Germany you are not allowed to use red or even reddish colors on most fields. Regardless of whether it is the shell or the fill. No red, no pink, no orange, sometimes even no purple. Green, white, blue and yellow are the colors that are actually always okay. But I'm tired of buying paint and getting randomly forbidden colors, so I always use field paint..
Hey brad should i buy a spire 3 or a level loader. I’m 13 and have been playing for 2 months and i have a rize maxxed. I have friends who have the loader, but I’ve hear that the spire is better. If you could respond and help me out it would be appreciated. Thanks
For sure the Spire III is better, it is the best hopper ever. I really like the LVL though too, I would go with which ever one fits your budget the best.
LOL I remember monsterballs, I used nothing but those back when I played woodsball from like 2000-2003 because I never ever had any of them break in my loader, marker, or barrels. this was back when I used a spyder elite and a tippman 98, the few years before I started playing speedball in 03. monsterballs did leave nasty welts and they were notorious for having a quarter of the bucket of them being flat . I would buy those 2000-5000 round buckets of them at walmart and like the bottom 200 balls would be flat as pancakes but none were broken lol.
Diego Gonzalez My JT proflex and liquid jersey are both in yellow. I feel your pain. The yellow pants I want went out of production over 10 years ago lol
There was monster ball that was blue then there was an orange one that did the same thing they were difficult to break but when they did was more like a watered down Gatorade was hard to see the hit I used it just to shoot my markers at trees and such My paint of choice has been Nelson anarchy
Can you do a comparison between the GI Stealth and the Dye DSR. I’m really torn on which one to pick up especially since I’m getting back in the sport.
Hey I just purchased a Tippmann A5 with a flat line barrel and I’m wondering what would be the best paint for it? I have checked multiple sources and they all are not consistent unfortunately. Just wondering if someone could help me out?
I wouldn't say anything specific. Flatlines do need to use a harder paintball, typically a less expensive paintball is harder so anything that is entry level priced should work best.
Paintball Ruined My Life Thank you so much for the quick reply, it was very useful. I have another question. Some of my friends play airsoft and some play paintball. I like both sports so I’d like to try to save on gear by getting items that work for both. I have watched your video on good helmets to buy, but I was wondering what specific helmet would you suggest that I pick up that can support both games?
I'm late to this but I have a planet eclipse emek 100 and was wondering what highest quality paint would you recommend. my field is capped out at 280fps
#PBQT I stopped playing paintball since 2012 and I am coming back. I have a really used planet eclipse 9 ego and i don't know if its best to keep using the old ego or buy a new empire axe 2.0 or mid range marker. Any thoughts?
I play pump mostly so what paint would you recommend using? My field paint is GI custom blend and it runs ssssuuppoerrr small like I’m having to use my .679 freak back and I still get rollouts lol also is there another super small barrel kit?
3 or 4 star so mid range to lower tourney paint. I have never had a break from Valken Graffiti in my classic (gen 1) Timmy so something a little more brittle will be fine. I wouldn't be too surprised if people have shot the 5 star out of gen 2 Timmies without any issues.
Art Paintball produces the best Tournament and Magfed Paintalls! For Tournament you should try "Berserker", for Magfed "Commander" (OffSeason or Winter). The Berserker is unbelievable!
Commander Paintballs are indeed good, by good I mean hard, round, yet hard to break on target too. We get hits from these paints and there are no breaks! (also they smell like gum :D)
#PBQT Do lighter, upgraded bolts make a big difference on newer guns? is $30 to $50 dollars a reasonable gamble on an upgraded bolt on an Axe 2.0? I have seen numerous reviews saying every available bolt for the Axe is the best bolt (and the worst) and now I can't decide which, if any, to get.
You still play with your axe? I have an Axe 2.0 and I've used many different types of paint and I break paint of all types. Idk if I'm the problem or if others are having similar results.
Shoots good , but some private air ball fields have banned some HK paint because the fill stains and some shells are a pain to clean because of the way the shell breaks.
G.I. have been inconsistent for years and years and years. When they were called Dark Sportz it already was a hit or miss. Now still the 1 star paint is very inconsistent over here in the Netherlands. I would take Pro Shar any day over G.I. when it comes to rec/training paint. Tournament grade I really like the 3, 4 and 5 star.
visje66 well if you think about the shipping from Canada it makes sense. During winter months in Canada then going into a plane makes the paint a whole lot more inconsistent
GI paint is flat out the lowest quality in the industry. Ive never seen a consistent bag out of hundreds/thousands of bags of it. Its always extremely oily, makes your hopper look like it hasnt been cleaned in years after one game. Ive been trying to get my local fields to dump GI for some better paint like Karnage for a while now with no luck
Please send us pictures of of the hundreds/thousands of bags of inconsistent paintballs. If you can include a UPC label picture that would help as well.
#PBQT With the release of the Gmek, CVO and other mid to high end mechanicals, should we expect to start seeing a resurgence of mechanical tournament play or do you feel this is more of a gimmick (albeit resulting in awesome markers)?
Paintball Ruined My Life thank you for your help I’m a new to paintball and your videos help me out a lot I watch your video on a good beginner setup and bought the Empire Mini Gs
all local fields around me only allow GI paint which is fine by me because 2 star works best for my 98 and my wallet. There is one field near me that are so extreme on their rule of only using GI paint that they only want you to use "their GI paint". The worse part about it is they sell 2 star GI paint for 4-5 star GI paint prices. Plus I believe all the employees there are pot heads. Walked in a year or 2 ago to get a ball latch for my Tippmann 98 just before they was about to close and a few employees and other guys was walking off the field and they all smelt like they just smoked up one and one of them walked behind the counter and started stripping down to his boxers right in front of me and other people there. I seriously need to give that place a bad review if they have a place to do it online
I wouldn't say it suffers from price, but it definitely doesn't help. Hockey is similar in that all the equipment is expensive plus ice time. The high price point just kinda makes it more difficult to play more often. Some sports are just really price to play in general.
Yeah paintball isn’t the only expensive sport but I agree. It effects all expensive sports. It appeals mostly to 16+ ages because they can have jobs to support it since parents usually wouldn’t be too fond of buying their kid a $700 marker
Paint is half the price and minimum wage has doubled since paintball's boom in the 90's. Relatively speaking, the price of stickball, bowling and fishing has remained steady. Like everything else, paintball is as expensive as you make it.
Paintball isn't expensive and for the most part young kids aren't pushed away. You can get setups for less than 500 bucks and if you build a relationship with your feild they give guys good discounts. But also me and my team help ref, set up and tear down feilds clean up after, do small coaching clinics. In relative terms it's actually a cheap sport
Paintballs are 40+ a case at any field you go to. If you want to play speedball YOU WILL go through 2 cases a day to play normal. Even shooting field paint it's a minimum of $100. Basic set up $500. How many children do you know with $600 in their piggy bank? Something has to be done to make paintball more economical, imo.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I LEFT OUT RED PAINTBALLS!!! RED LOOKS LIKE BLOOD = BAN.
Red also stains like a mofo, same with blue.
Though you can still get red paint from Nelson and a few smaller manufacturers, they have fixed the staining problem and most modern red paint red doesn't look like blood.
I remember playing with red paint about 7 years ago got 2 pallets of it from the army lol it sucked.
Not if you're an Alien, Brad. Paintball has gone galactic.
Hell Survivors in Michigan uses red paintballs.
Mag fed players should also avoid the higher tournament grade paints due to their brittle shells. If you're putting brittle paint into a magazine, you're gonna have a bad time.
I foresee many an argument over actual hits. "My jersey is just wrinkly, Ref"
Fuse Fire yeah often magfed is all hits count due paint is tougher. Sucks to shoot loosely clothed guy a full mag and not one breaks due loose clothes, bounce shirts and the like. If none were to use tournament protection midrange balls would actually always break.
Hello. I used GI 5 Stars paintballs at the last months and performed great. Shot from a Milsig M17 and Hybrid mag. I might test Valken Graffiti next to compare!!!
Here in Germany red paint is forbidden because it looks a lot like blood. Thought this might be interesting to some people. :)
They Banned them in Canada, for the same reason, looks like blood newbies freak out, however, lots of good memories shooting RED paint back in the day.
Wir schießen ja auch mit weniger saft als in den USA
Yea well germany's laws are fucked anyway
@@BamBlamboTv lol
Same thing here in the Netherlands
He also forgot to mention that a lot of fields won't allow oil-based paint anymore either, also because of how much harder it is to clean, and that it also doesn't wash away from the field with rain as easily.
I shoot an axe2.0 with a dye ltr hopper. And never shoot anything more then 35 a case. I do well with it and recommend it. I play once or twice a month so I’m not stressing over pro level paint. I mostly shoot defy paint. . Great stuff
monster balls were mad popular in Hawaii when i was younger. ill never forget taking one to the top of the dome from like 20 ft away. it felt like a rock skipped off my head.
Lmao
I agree valken graffiti paintballs are the way to go. My local field sells them & i find my self buying a couple cases every weekend.
Blue was also banned by a lot of fields back in the early and mid 2000's because a lot of blue paint would stain just like older pink paint. I remember playing tournaments with pink fill paint and it would leave your skin pink for a week or more no matter how much you washed that stuff.
Cheers from Colombia! Here we call your monster balls "Smurfs" , and gosh do they hurt AND stain... In MLA (largest MILSIM organization across Latin America) we banned red paint because it may masquerade real injuries... Cheers
i love how this dude wears a different new supreme hat every video
My experience with Valken infinity has been terrible, i've never had a case not have dimples or extremely oblong balls. D3fy is making some incredible paint for the price, even their practice/level 1 stuff. Have you had a chance to try out their paint?
Thanks for this comment.
I've probably saved around $30 because of it :D
go to paintballus.com
yes someone feels me with that new d3fy paint. im not kidding when I say I shoot ropes at 35 a case yea it not brittle as the empire ultra evil I shoot too but it breaks when it is supposed to like a normal ball. if it was too hard I would up to 45 a case level 2 but I love their "practice paint"
I have monsterball scars lol
mikend4spd sucks
The banned paint colors are really interesting! I knew about the yellow because it discusses it in NXL rules, but I never knew about the pink and blue.
the etha 2 is basically an electric tippmann 98. it can shoot anything and everything
Amen
I've played consistently well with evil paint in my TMC. The Apex2 barrel broke a lot, but a switch to my J&J ceramic fixed that.
j&j's are amazing
I shot some valken graffiti after your video through my shocker xls and it shot great and had a nice spread. Here most parks have GI and to me doesn’t shoot as good and doesn’t break often. I get lots of more bounces and minor bruising from impact on me and usually by the time I’m checking if the paint broke on me like on my back or side I’m walking off.
Can you please do some reviews on some D3FY sports products pleaseeeee
I have an etha 2 and I will shoot anything I put in it. There I a small difference when shoot high and low end paint. My paint choice is valley infinity or outdoor. That stuff will last for just about ever if u store it right.
Shout out to monster ball for my scars. I also used to use it at American Canyon Paintball Jungle.
Looking to get back into paintball in the next couple weeks.
HK makes the tournament paint in pink fill and at my local field nobody complaints, I've gotten a few " you shooting that pink paint? Nice hit "
Another reason to love my yellow JT liquid jersey!
your videos have been getting better and I notice better views. You go mang.
I love paintballing. I just got out of the army, and recently got back into it here in Texas. I just got an Ollie lang CS1 and a regular ego 11 (expensive, but i love the sport so much and a big fan of Ollie especially the new 1v1 tour).

GI/Empire has been the most consistent for me 👍🏼
Funny, my local field exclusively uses pink paint. GI Sportz Field Grade to be exact.
I really like wreck elite paint or Draxxus paintballs try them they are great for woodsball
Will brass markers ever make a come back ? Like cockers are being rereleased. Would be pretty cool to have some new brass markers. Probably won’t happen due to the weight wimps but one can hope
Make a blooper reel for the voicemails lol. That might be fun
Looking for a paint that is like the old school (2005-2010) chronic tournament paint or something similar to pro-ball silver/gold.
Did zap just buy out all the old brands? I remember when it was Zapp and was dope but when they went under the first time and came back the quality was lacking...
I've been out of the sport since 2010. Looking to get back out to the fields in the next couple weeks.
What about XBall?!
I use to run pink balls
I got hit by em too!
I have stains on my jersey still after ten years!
Visible Impact pink, filled grenade went off in my hand. Ruined my gear
Is there a correlation between thw marker's operation pressure and level of brittleness it can handle or are there more factors that determine how soft the marker is on paint?
I have a monster ball scar on my neck from backyard paintball with my brother. My spyder shutter vs his walmart no regulation gun.lol
Here in Maryland at our local field Blue is banned because we have paintballs at dicks sporting goods called Triumph paintballs and there solid too. Rarely break
here in new jersey paint that isnt 100 percent peg fill is banned due to the pine barrens.
how tf do u not have like half a mill subs, you have the best pb vids ive ever seen
Idk about monster ball but I got shot with a reball from six feet away like five years ago and the bruise lasted for a month, I can still see a slightly darker spot on my leg this long after. So if monster ball wouldn't break at three feet, RIP

What’s a good paintball brand to use with the Tippmann Tmc
I know this isn't relevant to the video but I'm just looking for paintball advice, I am considering buying a new paintball gun, and speedball really isn't my style, but most fields near me have relatively small woodsball fields and speedball, I was looking at getting a Tippman TMC or a Spyder MR6. I do like the idea of mag fed paintball just nobody in Western PA plays it that I could find.
The TMC is better than the MR6 is every way you could think of

My first choice of paint for a tournament would be G.I 5 star & 4 star if 5 is not available. No there is no 4 or 5 star I would probably shoot Ultra Evil which Ironically ended
For mag fed best 0.68cal balls are Tippmann's Combat Series.
Valken is having problems with their infinity. The new batches don’t shoot well at all. We switched to Defy paintballs and they have been doing great for our rentals. You can also go with Defy level 2 for higher end markers and it also shoots really good. Level 1 shoots so well you almost don’t have to even go up a level.
its awesome what they're making
I have a question can a tippmann Sierra one / Project salvo shoot graffiti paintball??
The reason my local field bans "Home" paint is some players thought thy were funny and used pepper balls and solids on feald.
at the field I work at, we still have marks on every bunker from monster balls
The problem is a ton of fields are pedaling shit quality paint for top shelf prices and requiring their fields to be FPO. When the cost of the paint is extremely low.
I know I’m a year late but I still have a question so mid range guns like the mini gs and proto rise can handle low and mid range paintballs
IAmNani _ Mini GS and Proto Rize can technically shoot any paint. I wouldn’t recommend super super brittle paint, Like NXL Event paint is a no go on a mid range electronic marker.
I have been to capital edge (which is in Sacramento) several times and the paint that they sell there is great works fine for everybody I go with but they do charge 60$ and have some colors banned. So regardless your going to have to use what they provide there and great vid keep it up.
I've only shot empire and valken paint, feilds here in MD only allow feild paint so far.
I’m guessing a 160r can shoot pretty much anything
I had a kid shoot me with monster ball years ago, he felt pretty bad because it felt like getting shot with a rock. He didn't have any money for field paint so I bought him some. A little after that that crap was banned from all over.
due to the pine barrens in new jersey, non peg fill paint is banned. NO OILS
ive shot many paint on the market already, and ive shot gi sportz 4 star in my A5 and also 98, and i may have seen 2 ball breaks in total over years of using this set up
My 2016(2012) spyder fenix 2 series sometimes chops wrek elite paint. But won’t chop Walmart crap
In Germany you are not allowed to use red or even reddish colors on most fields. Regardless of whether it is the shell or the fill. No red, no pink, no orange, sometimes even no purple. Green, white, blue and yellow are the colors that are actually always okay. But I'm tired of buying paint and getting randomly forbidden colors, so I always use field paint..
I have a question what type paintball does MCS paintball or TMC guns take ??
Hey brad should i buy a spire 3 or a level loader. I’m 13 and have been playing for 2 months and i have a rize maxxed. I have friends who have the loader, but I’ve hear that the spire is better. If you could respond and help me out it would be appreciated. Thanks
For sure the Spire III is better, it is the best hopper ever. I really like the LVL though too, I would go with which ever one fits your budget the best.
My first time ever playing paintball we were shooting monster balls not knowing I still have nightmares about those lol
Those monster balls killed me
#PBQT is it worth getting a quick fill station at home so you can fill your own tanks if needing to do maintenance and if so what brand and where from
LOL I remember monsterballs, I used nothing but those back when I played woodsball from like 2000-2003 because I never ever had any of them break in my loader, marker, or barrels. this was back when I used a spyder elite and a tippman 98, the few years before I started playing speedball in 03. monsterballs did leave nasty welts and they were notorious for having a quarter of the bucket of them being flat . I would buy those 2000-5000 round buckets of them at walmart and like the bottom 200 balls would be flat as pancakes but none were broken lol.
i love my yellow Virtue Vios but its so hard to find paintball gear to match
Diego Gonzalez My JT proflex and liquid jersey are both in yellow. I feel your pain. The yellow pants I want went out of production over 10 years ago lol
its a sad time for us... maybe one day yellow paintball gear will go back into production
Lovin the Etha 2 and even more since I adjusted the trigger!
Have you checked out the magnet mod for the trigger?
There was monster ball that was blue then there was an orange one that did the same thing they were difficult to break but when they did was more like a watered down Gatorade was hard to see the hit I used it just to shoot my markers at trees and such
My paint of choice has been Nelson anarchy
Which paint is the most like the old Ultra Evil?
I need a revised version
Can you do a comparison between the GI Stealth and the Dye DSR. I’m really torn on which one to pick up especially since I’m getting back in the sport.
The GI stealth is a private label Gtek 160-R (different milling, crappier barrel, crappier case, more expensive). The stealth is a waste of money imo
Hey I just purchased a Tippmann A5 with a flat line barrel and I’m wondering what would be the best paint for it? I have checked multiple sources and they all are not consistent unfortunately. Just wondering if someone could help me out?

tipx is the best as a secondary marker since it doesn't pierce the 12 gram until you pull the trigger.
Any lesser known Paintball manufacturers you’d recommend? Is Nelson any good? NitroDuck still around?
William Chandler defy paint is pretty underrated in my opinion
Wait, why can't low end guns handle high end paint? Thinner shells?
They operate at higher presures and high end paint is more brittle
I play with a CS1. What paint do you think I should use?
What should I shoot out of my boblong intimidator 2k2 like 1star to 5 star?
3 or 4 star so mid range to lower tourney paint. I have never had a break from Valken Graffiti in my classic (gen 1) Timmy so something a little more brittle will be fine. I wouldn't be too surprised if people have shot the 5 star out of gen 2 Timmies without any issues.
Most accurate for empire mini gs?
What brand would you recommend for a Tippmann A5? Haven't played in over a decade and thinking about picking one up to play with my nephew.
I have an A5 with a flatline barrel, always used marballizers. No chops, groupings were pretty tight.
Art Paintball produces the best Tournament and Magfed Paintalls!
For Tournament you should try "Berserker", for Magfed "Commander" (OffSeason or Winter).
The Berserker is unbelievable!
Commander Paintballs are indeed good, by good I mean hard, round, yet hard to break on target too. We get hits from these paints and there are no breaks! (also they smell like gum :D)
The proto rize maxxed can handle any type of paint
Who shoots a 60 dollar + case of paint threw a gun less then 300 😂🤣
Which star paint should I use if my marker is a azodin kaos 3?
I'd try the 1 star or 2 star.
Paintball Ruined My Life, ok thanks
I'm thinking of getting the HK barrel kit, would you recommend it?#PBQT
Freak XL barrel with .684 bore insert is what you need :)
What kind of paintball should a tippmann a5 use?? And do a tippmann a5 review pls!
What type of paint should I shoot with a axe pro?
@PBQT Do you still think i should get a Mini GS as a good cheap speed ball gun? or has your opinion changed?
#PBQT Do lighter, upgraded bolts make a big difference on newer guns? is $30 to $50 dollars a reasonable gamble on an upgraded bolt on an Axe 2.0? I have seen numerous reviews saying every available bolt for the Axe is the best bolt (and the worst) and now I can't decide which, if any, to get.
You still play with your axe? I have an Axe 2.0 and I've used many different types of paint and I break paint of all types. Idk if I'm the problem or if others are having similar results.
Kinda surprised I didn’t hear anything about HK paint because I hear so many good things about it and how everyone is using it.
unknown emojis hk paint is honestly some of the best stuff out right now it's so good
Shoots good , but some private air ball fields have banned some HK paint because the fill stains and some shells are a pain to clean because of the way the shell breaks.
Same
worst paint ive ever used
I think it’s all marketing
G.I. have been inconsistent for years and years and years. When they were called Dark Sportz it already was a hit or miss. Now still the 1 star paint is very inconsistent over here in the Netherlands. I would take Pro Shar any day over G.I. when it comes to rec/training paint. Tournament grade I really like the 3, 4 and 5 star.
visje66 well if you think about the shipping from Canada it makes sense. During winter months in Canada then going into a plane makes the paint a whole lot more inconsistent
GI paint is flat out the lowest quality in the industry. Ive never seen a consistent bag out of hundreds/thousands of bags of it. Its always extremely oily, makes your hopper look like it hasnt been cleaned in years after one game. Ive been trying to get my local fields to dump GI for some better paint like Karnage for a while now with no luck
TJ Jahn oily for sure, man with GI 1 star we had many boxes we had to open on towels to ,,dry'' of all the excess oil.
GI Sucks
Please send us pictures of of the hundreds/thousands of bags of inconsistent paintballs. If you can include a UPC label picture that would help as well.
#PBQT With the release of the Gmek, CVO and other mid to high end mechanicals, should we expect to start seeing a resurgence of mechanical tournament play or do you feel this is more of a gimmick (albeit resulting in awesome markers)?
What’s the best barrel to put on an Empire Mini GS
There are lots of great barrels give this a watch - ua-cam.com/video/CsNNr490cPo/v-deo.html
Paintball Ruined My Life thank you for your help I’m a new to paintball and your videos help me out a lot I watch your video on a good beginner setup and bought the Empire Mini Gs
Canadian tire sells blue paint, as great as you think it would
#PBQT how would you suggest getting into the sport as a new player
I remember there was a brand that did all the NFL teams back in like 03
Would you recommend an armagillo voodo mesh dread instert?
all local fields around me only allow GI paint which is fine by me because 2 star works best for my 98 and my wallet. There is one field near me that are so extreme on their rule of only using GI paint that they only want you to use "their GI paint". The worse part about it is they sell 2 star GI paint for 4-5 star GI paint prices. Plus I believe all the employees there are pot heads. Walked in a year or 2 ago to get a ball latch for my Tippmann 98 just before they was about to close and a few employees and other guys was walking off the field and they all smelt like they just smoked up one and one of them walked behind the counter and started stripping down to his boxers right in front of me and other people there. I seriously need to give that place a bad review if they have a place to do it online
What star paint could I use with my azodin blitz evo 2
Haunted_Wolf564 I mean, it’s an Azodin. Cheap gun, cheap paint. Use low or mid grade paint. I use APX Precision on my Cronus.
Bardeaux Fiss would you consider a Spyder Fenix a lower end gun?
#PBQT you think the sport is suffering due to how expensive it is and also pushes younger and newer players away?
I wouldn't say it suffers from price, but it definitely doesn't help. Hockey is similar in that all the equipment is expensive plus ice time. The high price point just kinda makes it more difficult to play more often. Some sports are just really price to play in general.
Yeah paintball isn’t the only expensive sport but I agree. It effects all expensive sports. It appeals mostly to 16+ ages because they can have jobs to support it since parents usually wouldn’t be too fond of buying their kid a $700 marker
Paint is half the price and minimum wage has doubled since paintball's boom in the 90's. Relatively speaking, the price of stickball, bowling and fishing has remained steady. Like everything else, paintball is as expensive as you make it.
Paintball isn't expensive and for the most part young kids aren't pushed away.
You can get setups for less than 500 bucks and if you build a relationship with your feild they give guys good discounts. But also me and my team help ref, set up and tear down feilds clean up after, do small coaching clinics. In relative terms it's actually a cheap sport
Paintballs are 40+ a case at any field you go to. If you want to play speedball YOU WILL go through 2 cases a day to play normal. Even shooting field paint it's a minimum of $100. Basic set up $500. How many children do you know with $600 in their piggy bank? Something has to be done to make paintball more economical, imo.
