Whilst wandering through walmart today, I inevitably swung by their meager paintball section just to take a look.

with a game coming up, a friend of mine wanted to pick up a new tank. While he was browsing, I glanced at the paint to see, lo and behold.....Camoflaged paintballs.

Gotta love marketing gimmicks.

I don't recommend getting paint from Wal*Mart. I mean some people do and are fine with it and hey that's great and all, but Is still wouldn't suggest buying it.

They sell some good paint at my Walmart. They sell RPS Super Swirl, Big Ball, Blaze, and Scorch. As well as other crappy brands.

True, but often it has been handled carelessly and you get a lot of broken/damaged paint. Additionally, Walmart paint tends to sit around for a long time on the shelf.

Aye, that's true. Plus they don't let you open the package, and as soon as you buy it and open it, no refund which kind of sucks.

That's actually pretty smart. All the people new to the sport will buy them. Good marketing scheme.

Where I work, at Canadian Tire, basically a Walmart with an auto bay, we have "Camo ammo" for "air soft(yeah right)", the crappy spring loaded pistols we sell. It's not even individually "camoflaged" but rather just half of them a deep green and half a brown.
