Nobody here plays at Hell Survivors in Michigan anymore but I need a place to warm up for my crusade. I must say I have NEVER seen worse paint in my life than the field paint at HS. I just can't fathom that they get $60.00 a case for this crap. Here's the first 6 balls I pulled from a left-over bag and all of the paint we got had flat spots.

Diablo blaze? Worst paint I ever seen was year old allstars. 100dollars a case at a tourney and 2 bags out of each case had broken paint. Halos were blending like crazy, barrel breaks and chops were non stop all you can shoot out of your gun was yellow soup.. everyone that used allstars were throwing them away and geting the cheap diablo recsport crap. I set a friends tadao cyborg to NXL unlimited and tryed to shoot. looked like the gun was peeing. ------------- [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/anthonymartinez/402cdjo-1.gif"> |

Theres a field here that has the Worst paint ever. At least 10 rounds a bag were broken. And on average you would have about 20 break in the hopper just from movement, chop at least 30 and barrel break about 50. That left about 400 rounds that didnt go where you wanted them to because of the previous breaks. Now this wasnt my gun doing that, it happened to just about everybody. I played there once and never went back. Only reason I can think why other people go back, is because its so cheap. But the cleanup job on my gun was Not fun  ------------- People who are organised are just to lazy to look for things. |

| I would never pay more than $60 for a case of paint. I can find perfectly decent paint for $45 or less. |

I pay 50 a case for Evils and Allstar here. In my opinion, it is the best paint money can buy.

$30 for some practice paint. Works great with the pump.

You should've seen the bucket of paint my cousin bought once. It was one of those $35 per bucket crappy paint deals you always find at Scheel's, or whatever sporting goods megalomart you shop at. Shooting those things was almost like shooting boomerangs. On an unrelated note, I want to create my own brand of paint, blue-shelled only, called Blueballs, solely for the fact that when people buy my paint, they can tell everyone that they have a case of the Blueballs. |

I've come to realize that the closer your field is to a paintball making factory, the better the paint is. Example. At my field, the empire paint is the best paint at the field and the factory is only 45 minutes away tops from the field. Even the lower quaitly empire paint is damn good. The evil paint, which is supposed to be extremely good, is just terrible. |

| I really must say I was rather impressed with monster balls/ They shot decently good and $30 a case. They worked good considering we bought four cases of it and we went through all of them. |

I use Triax. $8.00 for 500, and I find them reliable. Not the best, obviously, but great for a player on a budget. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

At my field it's $80 for a case of 2,000.. it's actually GOOD paint though (RPS Premium Field) On the field you have to use THEIR PAINT, When i'm off the field I use RPS Premium, OR Diablo Heat. Diablo Heat is $40 a pop for 2,000.. best paint I've shot so far. ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

At the field I used to play at it was about $200 NZD  for a case of marbys or the like (RPS usually I think). That did include field and gas. But still like $120-140ish USD would be my guess. Thats what international shipping does to yah  There is a club that plays and uses high grade WPN paint which is pretty aiight, $80NZD a case for that... so like $60 USD It costs alot to play over here. But its damn worth it  ------------- People who are organised are just to lazy to look for things. |

Wow....lets see... $80 per 2,000 Balls, $5 Per Air Fill, $10 for a full day of play... so total, $95 for a great, full day of play.. actually make it two-three air fills so $105.....I really need to make my own field.

i think Hotbox is the crappiest paint that is made. my local field
always sells that crap for 140$ a case(non-member price) and you are
guarenteed a barrel break every other shot with this paint. hooray for
field paint

Are you serious? I pay 45 dollars a case for that stuff. The batches are usually hit or miss. When it is a decent case it works well. V1 shoots nice too ------------- [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/anthonymartinez/402cdjo-1.gif"> |

He sold you a case of marbs for $3..... the mystery of why they closed down\ran out of money is no mystery  And Tecumseh, TehGangster and many others are on this forum that don't even play paintball anymore and never help... I agree they should stay out of the forum or PLAY PAINTBALL AND HELP since it is a friggin' paintball forum, but they they for some reason, stay here and are almost never involved with a Tippmann... or Paintball for that matter.. kinda stupid if you ask me.. but w\e.  ------------- -Tippmann A-5 -Flatline + Metadyne Shroud -R.I.S.

I played yesterday, FPO. I was expecting some good paint for sale (pretty serious field) but I was presented with Rampage or Severe Hurricane. I bought the Hurricane, and it was the worst paint I have ever used. Hard, oval, broke in every gun it was put through, and it would bounce off people like crazy. My Angel broke it, two G7's were breaking it, the Proto was breaking it, the NME was breaking it... ugh. So, I bought some Rampage. It was not hard; instead it was soft, very oval, and severely golf-bally. It was even less accurate than the Hurricane, and it didn't break on anything. Not a good day. Next time I'm gonna smuggle in some Xball Gold. |

if you play in the paintpark(includes turf,tire field, trench field) You pay 70CDN for 2000, entrance included, or you pay 20 for your entrance and bring your own paint... if you play in all the other fields you pay 5 bucks for the entrance(not sure about in the summer, but in the winter when your a member they include a tipmann 98c with nitro in the entrance) and its 120 a case of 2000 for blaze. Their not bad but they go crappy in our weahter here... and the winter balls they supply us in winter went rock hard within a few months of storage to the point my bro and i went for a game in the woods behind my house and within 15 feet with a pump the balls would rarely break on me. when i go in the summer i average only 500 balls a day, dad usualuy gives me a few extra. so it comes down for 35 bucks a day. I learned my tipmann wont shoot the kids head a 100 feet away and let my dad do the supressing fire lol luckily our speedbal field is prety nice, and the setup vaires a little from time to time. I played on it a few games last week end with a group of rentals and we had a blast. nice competitions the weekend before, the field had benches for people to watch. Our woodsball fields are even better, one big city, two foretresses at both ends of the property so during hte big games 2 big teams are made and all the fields are open. ohhh, and a nice interior field with tunnels, and towers, its a sand field thought, but my cousin managed to bring his sup'd cocker without a problem. www.paintballmirabel.com Frank

Lightning Bolt also forgot to mention that those things break blood red. Thats their whole gimmick with them. The field i work(ed) at is a direct rival with HS. We encourage player to check their bags in their cases before walking away with them, and replace any bags with broken rounds. We clean up the bad bags and use them for rentals though. :D ------------- http://www.anomationanodizing.com - My Site

Thanks, the competitions we had not long ago were nice... \iam usualy a woodballer but loved it so much iam considering buying a new gun for speedball... as for hte bags, havnt heard of anyone tripping but the rental group i was with thought it was a great idea to move a 1000$ baloon around hte court just for the fun of it... my buddy who was reffing didnt like it so much lol
