I' have bought big ball and dusk from there when I didn't have time to order paint online. I didn't have a problem with them.

Well, if you go to their site, then go to paintball, then to spyders, then to the new imagine, youll see that they sa that its semi, when really its a electro-trigger with multiple modes. What they did is took the turny lock out of all the imagines locking them into semi auto. Im sure the other members have reasons too though.(BTW they stockpile paint, so usually its old paint)

I've bought paint at Wal-Mart.  They are actually pretty cool about it here, they will let you open the box and check to see that non are broken.

that is why you are suppose to check the paint before you buy it, and there not bad the paint is cheap, and not always that bad. (ecspecailly it your last resort, other than no playing)

so wal-marts ok in my book

Its not the fact that there stuff sucks. Its the fact of how long the paint will sit on the shelves in the warehouses before it even gets to the store to be put out on the shelves.

You're taking a risk when buying their paint... You don't know if it's fresh or if it's been in a warehouse for a few months, without being rotated.

I bought a case of PMI paintballs and all of them were fine.  Not a single one was broken, they would break fairly easy on contact on the field, so I wouldn't say it's Wal-Mart's fault if their stuff sucks.  You get what you pay for and if you buy their cheap paint, well don't expect much.

What is wrong with Wal-Mart gear is that its from Wal-Mart. I buy from Doug, my local feild owner, or Mike, the local pro-shop owner. Supporting them keeps them in business, and that keeps me fueled with places to play, rather than throwing money in a mega-corporation's cofers.

If your playing backyard ball or small tournies - you can buy wallmart and not be disapointed. It's not the best and you'd better open the cartons & check them before buying, but if you're careful you won't be disapointed. They're not the BEST quality because of how thier stored, but their not bad either.

As always DON'T buy Brass Weasle reguardless of the price. I would stay away from ZAP too - I've had too many bad experiences with both.

I don't think PMI is packaging their paint as BigBall anymore... I don't think they have for 6 months.   Now it is called Menace.   So basically, that paint you bought was pretty old... but hey, if it shoots for you, congrats.
