OK, so anyone who plays knows that when you get hit by monster balls, they hurt.
Because the paint hardly ever breaks. This is because it is easy for them to ship to large companies without their product breaking in shipping, therefore resulting in lower spoilage costs.
The problem is that someone is going to get seriously injured because of this paint.
Contact Wal-Mart and let them know how you feel about Monster paint. Ask them to get Brass Eagle to change the formulation so that the paint actually breaks... http://walmartstores.com/contactus/feedback.aspx Also contact Brass Eagle directly and ask the same. http://www.brasseagle.com/customerservice/customer.asp If enough of us contact them, they will fix this paint, and we may actually save someones life.

Monster balls are hardly harder than any other paint.
Have you ever played with reballs? They don't break by design and we still play with those at 280 fps. |

Have you ever actually been shot with those paintballs? On a field?
Do you do everything Mike tells you to? If anyone is trying to destroy this industry, it's Mike. By blacklisting sites and telling people not to go to them, he is just tearing everything apart. This business with the monster balls now is ridiculous. Obviously he had a bad experience with them or something, its been proven before in his videos that he is biased, and use a little bit of film techniques to trick people into seeing something else. I bet if he stubbed his toe on a Tippmann, he would begin a campaign to ban Tippmann guns, and make all sorts of bogus videos that illustrate how dangerous they are. All he does is make a bunch of publicity stunts to make himself look like a good guy.

No, not really. At least not more so than any other paint. Of course, being as I am ex-military I may be tougher than you. Although, since my time was spent in the Air Force, some of the ex/current Marines/Soldiers on here may disagree about the additional level of toughness that time helped me achieve. Perhaps, I'm just naturally tougher than you. Oh, wait a minute; my 10 year-old niece doesn't whine about being shot with Monster Balls either . . . she must be tougher than you as well. |

Monsterballs aren't really that hard. Now those tacamo balls from walmart those things are extremely hard. In fact most of the monster balls I have had had been perfect, just a little soft so they break quite easily.

Last game at my private field a guy was hit in the neck with a monsterball from 30 feet.
The paintball didn't break, but his skin did. He had a huge welt within minutes and it was bleeding. I've been hit in the neck countless times, no problem. The only difference was monster balls. I got hit in the fore arm by a monster ball, it left a huge welt as it didn't break. I then had a buddy hit me on the other arm from the same distance with a combat camo paintball. It broke and didn't even leave a mark.
Of course you guys are too tough to be smart enough to realize a dangerous product.
Keep preaching tough, and when some mom picks up paint for her kids and one of them gets hit in the temple and dies, then you can brag about how that kid wasn't as "tough" as your niece...
idiots.
Fact is, They make monsterballs to be able to handle the rigors of shipping without breakage. This is done to increase revenue and at a cost to product safety. Of which you are too "tough" to understand.
I guess that is why the sport gets smaller each year. A bad product is allowed because to actively try to get it changed might be deemed "wimpy"...
As a grown up man, I don't need to "prove" my toughness.
Monsterballs are a dangerous product. Plain and simple. Edited by The Reaper - 24 September 2008 at 8:05am |

I was kind of with you until you whipped out the medals. I hope you understand just how dorky that makes you look. |

I guess I'll keep mine in the box then. Edited Note: The one problem that I do have with Monster Balls isn't really Monster Ball related but is a symptom of a more widespread issue: I refuse to buy paint from the big stores like Wal-Mart. Such places with their minimum wage employees and wide inventory really have no understanding of the sport or equipment/materials involved. This results in paint that is substandard in some way because of improper storage/handling. The time spent in the supply chains of such places does not help the paint quality either. While I am not saying that all of their paint is in bad condition, I have had enough bad experiences that I choose to get my paint elsewhere. On a related note, listening to a Wal-Mart employee explain paintball safety to a family with a young child (way to young to be playing with paintball markers) last year led to a conversation that almost resulted in me being asked to leave the store. (The employidiot compared paintball guns to dart guns at one point.) Edited by Mack - 24 September 2008 at 2:57pm |
