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. -------------

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.

Do they want you to hide your paintballs on the floor of the woods or something? I despise Wal-Mart, every time i go in that place its a total crap hole. -------------

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.

Unfortunately, I'm not lucky enough to have a locak pro shop where I can get paint. Its either pick through the stuff that Wal-mart has, or drive over an hour for other stuff. and by camoflaged, I mean the shells of each ball are camo-ed up. ------------- ? |

That's too bad. I've seen those camo balls, they have them at my Walmart too. -------------

I've never seen those at my Wal-Mart. Not suprisingly though my Wal-Mart carries crap and I don't just mean the paintball stuff.

That's probably the same theory behind the manufacturing of camoflaged condoms. -------------

They sell black paint at my local proshop by telling newbs that no one will see where your shot came from.

| They're called combat 68's, made by pmi or rps, and are really good. They have a very hard shell and cut straight through brush. good paint. |

I like Wal-mart for the most part, but the paintballs aren't that great. If you want your paint to not show up just get black ones or something. I think they show up less than camo ones do. ------------- A-5 Response Trigger 14" All-American barrel Expansion Chamber Drop Forward |
