if your lookin for thickshell paintballs for winter your best is well winter paint.

as for which brand is good with an a5, well not the cheap kind.. my team and i use Dusk paint or Anarchy paint and 2 of my team members have a5's... so as long as its decent paint.. use it.

98% of ion owners think ions are better than any high end gun. If you would like to bonus ball these idiots put this in your sig.

Around here, Dusk isn't too expensive, and it works pretty well in my A-5 (except when it's cold out). I'd give that a try. Scorch is another good option. I've used that several times, but stopped because it was a crappy paint to bore match. But in the time I used it, i broke very few balls, if not zero.

At www.ottersccustoms.com it has a paintball size chart and a barrel size chart, for matching the right paint to the right barrel.  It might be worth looking at.

>98 Custom RT, Cyclone, BigShot, 6-pos. stock
>98 Custom Pro E-Trigger, Freak barrel
>98 Custom RT, Cyclone, Flatline
>98 w/ tank forward
>2 Smartparts ION's
>Spyder LCD

Hey guys, I just bought a Tippmann 98 Custom Pro M4.  What kind of paintballs should I buy. I was recommended Monster Balls, but I wanted to find out any others.
