    Posted: 01 February 2005 at 3:42pm
I bought 1000 Red diablo Dusk paintballs from Sears. Today I open the box to find 1000 White DraXxus Dusk with about 20 broken balls in each bag. Is there a difference between DraXxus Dusk and Diablo Dusk? IF so Which one is better? Also I want to put out the warning not to buy paintballs from Sears.

Draxus is diablo now, they changed theird name after they were bought out. And what do you expect buying paintballs from a major retailer, go to an actual paintball store.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Always open the box before you buy, just to check, because it really sucks to find out there's a lot of broken balls in it.

1. How much did you pay for the case?

2. If not alot, then just save the non-broken ones via the beach towel method and be happy.

Thanks. I Payed 30 bucks for 1000. I got them shipped so I couldnt see them before I got them. I already cleaned 'em off so I'm just going to keep them. I mianly just wanted to make sure the companies were the same.
