| Yestarday I bought these balls that were on sale, 500 for $4.99 and they were called Monster Balls, no wonder they were $4.99. They felt like they were 10 years old. Is there any others I should stay away from?? |

| most paint is ok to shoot as long as its fresh and not dimpled.. you bought brass eagle... that IS the paint to stay away from lol... if you find a fresh batch of monster balls (very rare) they actually are pretty decent paint. |

| the shells seem super hard compared to 32 degrees, and there is barely any paint in them. will this mean it will hurt more? |

i forget what kind of paint my brother was using, but he was shooting at rocks in a creekbed with his flatline from about 50 feet away. he shot about 20 paintballs in all, and they ALL bounced off the rocks...it was insane. and NO, they weren't frozen. ------------- 98 Custom milled;painted;J&J Ceramic;X-Chamber;R/T;Cyclone. |

Made the mistake of buying Wild Streak before. I thought it would curve around and hit me. Bad stuff. |
