What Company Makes The Best Paintballs?

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I LEFT OUT RED PAINTBALLS!!! RED LOOKS LIKE BLOOD = BAN.

[@KarlEller]

Red also stains like a mofo, same with blue.

[@reignick1133]

Though you can still get red paint from Nelson and a few smaller manufacturers, they have fixed the staining problem and most modern red paint red doesn't look like blood.

[@shaggydo9216]

I remember playing with red paint about 7 years ago got 2 pallets of it from the army lol it sucked.

[@christopherraymond9251]

Not if you're an Alien, Brad. Paintball has gone galactic.

[@NickSlowiak]

Hell Survivors in Michigan uses red paintballs.

[@Legion7734]

Here in Germany red paint is forbidden because it looks a lot like blood. Thought this might be interesting to some people. :)

[@nicholasdavis2407]

They Banned them in Canada, for the same reason, looks like blood newbies freak out, however, lots of good memories shooting RED paint back in the day.

[@mariusleo71]

Wir schießen ja auch mit weniger saft als in den USA

[@BamBlamboTv]

Yea well germany's laws are fucked anyway

[@prodby_armo]

@@BamBlamboTv lol

[@fastliifehaidyn]

Same thing here in the Netherlands

[@PhantomJM]

Mag fed players should also avoid the higher tournament grade paints due to their brittle shells. If you're putting brittle paint into a magazine, you're gonna have a bad time.

[@christopherraymond9251]

I foresee many an argument over actual hits. "My jersey is just wrinkly, Ref"

[@Korppis]

Fuse Fire yeah often magfed is all hits count due paint is tougher. Sucks to shoot loosely clothed guy a full mag and not one breaks due loose clothes, bounce shirts and the like. If none were to use tournament protection midrange balls would actually always break.

[@illuminatorix]

Hello. I used GI 5 Stars paintballs at the last months and performed great. Shot from a Milsig M17 and Hybrid mag. I might test Valken Graffiti next to compare!!!

[@ExperiMentalDon]

He also forgot to mention that a lot of fields won't allow oil-based paint anymore either, also because of how much harder it is to clean, and that it also doesn't wash away from the field with rain as easily.

[@podium918]

I shoot an axe2.0 with a dye ltr hopper. And never shoot anything more then 35 a case. I do well with it and recommend it. I play once or twice a month so I’m not stressing over pro level paint. I mostly shoot defy paint. . Great stuff

[@dazerism8849]

monster balls were mad popular in Hawaii when i was younger. ill never forget taking one to the top of the dome from like 20 ft away. it felt like a rock skipped off my head.

[@LemonHead-sq5ws]

Lmao

[@omelo2006o]

I agree valken graffiti paintballs are the way to go. My local field sells them & i find my self buying a couple cases every weekend.

[@PublicLandAdvocate]

Blue was also banned by a lot of fields back in the early and mid 2000's because a lot of blue paint would stain just like older pink paint. I remember playing tournaments with pink fill paint and it would leave your skin pink for a week or more no matter how much you washed that stuff.

[@ShinobiTobosaku]

Cheers from Colombia! Here we call your monster balls "Smurfs" , and gosh do they hurt AND stain... In MLA (largest MILSIM organization across Latin America) we banned red paint because it may masquerade real injuries... Cheers

[@Satchel456]

The banned paint colors are really interesting! I knew about the yellow because it discusses it in NXL rules, but I never knew about the pink and blue.

[@EatYourImagination]

I shot some valken graffiti after your video through my shocker xls and it shot great and had a nice spread. Here most parks have GI and to me doesn’t shoot as good and doesn’t break often. I get lots of more bounces and minor bruising from impact on me and usually by the time I’m checking if the paint broke on me like on my back or side I’m walking off.

[@benkasap5821]

i love how this dude wears a different new supreme hat every video

[@MikeGianetti]

When I was playing at Mare Island, VJ the field had banned red (obvious) and blue because of the staining it did. We could shoot anything else we wanted. This was back in 89 - 91 time frame though, and I never got up to Sac to play during that time. Same went for a field up in the Santa Cruz mtns, no red no blue, and he hated auto triggers and semis as well. Did his famous nickel, nickel, nickel emphasizing the cost of each shot. LOL

[@nicholasbattiste901]

Shout out to monster ball for my scars. I also used to use it at American Canyon Paintball Jungle. Looking to get back into paintball in the next couple weeks.

[@raybandz8052]

I love paintballing. I just got out of the army, and recently got back into it here in Texas. I just got an Ollie lang CS1 and a regular ego 11 (expensive, but i love the sport so much and a big fan of Ollie especially the new 1v1 tour). I just wanted to say the sport has a high cost (paint and gear mainly). Other sports offer so much for the relative cost. (Jui jitsu is 100/ a month, basketball $30/ every few years, etc). Paintball is like 50-75 for paint alone, then admission fees etc. i think it would become a lot more popular/sponsored not by having better brand deals at the high end and marketability, but making it more cost efficient on the low end.

[@donhoggard604]

I've played consistently well with evil paint in my TMC. The Apex2 barrel broke a lot, but a switch to my J&J ceramic fixed that.

[@wickedzayyy]

j&j's are amazing

[@6mrsynyster]

the etha 2 is basically an electric tippmann 98. it can shoot anything and everything

[@autopilot7150]

Amen

[@aidanwarren915]

I have an etha 2 and I will shoot anything I put in it. There I a small difference when shoot high and low end paint. My paint choice is valley infinity or outdoor. That stuff will last for just about ever if u store it right.

[@Cooptron]

My experience with Valken infinity has been terrible, i've never had a case not have dimples or extremely oblong balls. D3fy is making some incredible paint for the price, even their practice/level 1 stuff. Have you had a chance to try out their paint?

[@sawdustmuncher]

Thanks for this comment. I've probably saved around $30 because of it :D

[@paintballus1940]

go to paintballus.com

[@oliveremsick1677]

yes someone feels me with that new d3fy paint. im not kidding when I say I shoot ropes at 35 a case yea it not brittle as the empire ultra evil I shoot too but it breaks when it is supposed to like a normal ball. if it was too hard I would up to 45 a case level 2 but I love their "practice paint"

[@djbresette1151]

your videos have been getting better and I notice better views. You go mang.

[@oldsoul8265]

Another reason to love my yellow JT liquid jersey!

[@cquig2691]

how tf do u not have like half a mill subs, you have the best pb vids ive ever seen

[@mikend4spd]

I have monsterball scars lol

[@thebillmaster1676]

mikend4spd sucks

[@rocknrolla818]

I have a monster ball scar on my neck from backyard paintball with my brother. My spyder shutter vs his walmart no regulation gun.lol

[@badt2238]

Been trying to meet u in person but keep missing u out here in modesto. I went to go buy that sarrico coat 77 ninja tank at extreme paintball because i saw it on ur channel and micheal said he sold it to you. Extreme paintball for life.

[@edwardsedgley1714]

Here in Maryland at our local field Blue is banned because we have paintballs at dicks sporting goods called Triumph paintballs and there solid too. Rarely break

[@Torchbuscus]

Funny, my local field exclusively uses pink paint. GI Sportz Field Grade to be exact.

[@ogsmokey420]

HK makes the tournament paint in pink fill and at my local field nobody complaints, I've gotten a few " you shooting that pink paint? Nice hit "

[@nicholasbattiste901]

Looking for a paint that is like the old school (2005-2010) chronic tournament paint or something similar to pro-ball silver/gold. Did zap just buy out all the old brands? I remember when it was Zapp and was dope but when they went under the first time and came back the quality was lacking... I've been out of the sport since 2010. Looking to get back out to the fields in the next couple weeks. What about XBall?!

[@skinnyboy400]

GI/Empire has been the most consistent for me 👍🏼

[@mrmartin7131]

Haven’t played it about three years but last I used was graffiti,been playing since 2000 used all from cheap to expensive and there is a difference I remember using some paint called anarchy it was pretty kool and Allstars was good but now there is all new jacks now

[@skyler1359]

Will brass markers ever make a come back ? Like cockers are being rereleased. Would be pretty cool to have some new brass markers. Probably won’t happen due to the weight wimps but one can hope

[@SnepBlepVR]

My 2016(2012) spyder fenix 2 series sometimes chops wrek elite paint. But won’t chop Walmart crap

[@BarnyTrubble]

Idk about monster ball but I got shot with a reball from six feet away like five years ago and the bruise lasted for a month, I can still see a slightly darker spot on my leg this long after. So if monster ball wouldn't break at three feet, RIP

[@GiassThis]

here in new jersey paint that isnt 100 percent peg fill is banned due to the pine barrens.

[@lilsteviebanales3087]

Can you please do some reviews on some D3FY sports products pleaseeeee

[@emilio5963]

I have been to capital edge (which is in Sacramento) several times and the paint that they sell there is great works fine for everybody I go with but they do charge 60$ and have some colors banned. So regardless your going to have to use what they provide there and great vid keep it up.

[@SO-jg5ou]

Is there a correlation between thw marker's operation pressure and level of brittleness it can handle or are there more factors that determine how soft the marker is on paint?

[@--emt]

I really like wreck elite paint or Draxxus paintballs try them they are great for woodsball

[@ainzucu]

I have a question can a tippmann Sierra one / Project salvo shoot graffiti paintball??

[@milehighbacon3252]

Make a blooper reel for the voicemails lol. That might be fun

[@MRxNICxGUYx]

What’s a good paintball brand to use with the Tippmann Tmc

[@nsoutlawball1941]

Empire Polar Ice purchased in 2014/2015 Best paint I've ever shot and the ONLY paintball formula that should exist outside of a Speedball field. I have a few cases I've never used and to this minute there is not so much as a hint of sweat in the bag, the balls are still clean and firm.... How? Every other ball decomposes like a rotting carcass if you sit it for 6 months.

[@kristijansusnik1297]

For mag fed best 0.68cal balls are Tippmann's Combat Series.

[@Mike-hg4cl]

I know this isn't relevant to the video but I'm just looking for paintball advice, I am considering buying a new paintball gun, and speedball really isn't my style, but most fields near me have relatively small woodsball fields and speedball, I was looking at getting a Tippman TMC or a Spyder MR6. I do like the idea of mag fed paintball just nobody in Western PA plays it that I could find.

[@ashravenpb]

The TMC is better than the MR6 is every way you could think of

[@Mike-hg4cl]

thanks for your help, I kinda knew this but unfortunately I don't have access to any of these to just try them out so I really appreciate the response!

[@brucecook502]

LOL I remember monsterballs, I used nothing but those back when I played woodsball from like 2000-2003 because I never ever had any of them break in my loader, marker, or barrels. this was back when I used a spyder elite and a tippman 98, the few years before I started playing speedball in 03. monsterballs did leave nasty welts and they were notorious for having a quarter of the bucket of them being flat . I would buy those 2000-5000 round buckets of them at walmart and like the bottom 200 balls would be flat as pancakes but none were broken lol.

[@natestinson69]

at the field I work at, we still have marks on every bunker from monster balls

[@josebanda4936]

I have a question what type paintball does MCS paintball or TMC guns take ??

[@GiassThis]

due to the pine barrens in new jersey, non peg fill paint is banned. NO OILS

[@aidanafshar8744]

NXL events usually have 3 to 4 paint vendors, however in my all my experience of playing tournaments GI Sports provide the best paint you can possibly shoot.. My first choice of paint for a tournament would be G.I 5 star & 4 star if 5 is not available. No there is no 4 or 5 star I would probably shoot Ultra Evil which Ironically ended

[@jaybajan]

ive shot many paint on the market already, and ive shot gi sportz 4 star in my A5 and also 98, and i may have seen 2 ball breaks in total over years of using this set up

[@Narsandorin]

The reason my local field bans "Home" paint is some players thought thy were funny and used pepper balls and solids on feald.

[@tommitchell1855]

Hey I just purchased a Tippmann A5 with a flat line barrel and I’m wondering what would be the best paint for it? I have checked multiple sources and they all are not consistent unfortunately. Just wondering if someone could help me out?

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

I wouldn't say anything specific. Flatlines do need to use a harder paintball, typically a less expensive paintball is harder so anything that is entry level priced should work best.

[@tommitchell1855]

Paintball Ruined My Life Thank you so much for the quick reply, it was very useful. I have another question. Some of my friends play airsoft and some play paintball. I like both sports so I’d like to try to save on gear by getting items that work for both. I have watched your video on good helmets to buy, but I was wondering what specific helmet would you suggest that I pick up that can support both games?

[@rybobuno]

Which paint is the most like the old Ultra Evil?

[@thedevilwp]

Lovin the Etha 2 and even more since I adjusted the trigger!

[@shotgundiaries3918]

Have you checked out the magnet mod for the trigger?

[@MstMannerz]

I've only shot empire and valken paint, feilds here in MD only allow feild paint so far.

[@iamnani_9111]

I know I’m a year late but I still have a question so mid range guns like the mini gs and proto rise can handle low and mid range paintballs

[@foxtrot4352]

IAmNani _ Mini GS and Proto Rize can technically shoot any paint. I wouldn’t recommend super super brittle paint, Like NXL Event paint is a no go on a mid range electronic marker.

[@JustinCglass]

I use to run pink balls I got hit by em too! I have stains on my jersey still after ten years!

[@DarkShooper]

Visible Impact pink, filled grenade went off in my hand. Ruined my gear

[@blakerosso5358]

Hey brad should i buy a spire 3 or a level loader. I’m 13 and have been playing for 2 months and i have a rize maxxed. I have friends who have the loader, but I’ve hear that the spire is better. If you could respond and help me out it would be appreciated. Thanks

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

For sure the Spire III is better, it is the best hopper ever. I really like the LVL though too, I would go with which ever one fits your budget the best.

[@Dubs.C.]

Any lesser known Paintball manufacturers you’d recommend? Is Nelson any good? NitroDuck still around?

[@nflguy10]

William Chandler defy paint is pretty underrated in my opinion

[@joekoehn144]

There was monster ball that was blue then there was an orange one that did the same thing they were difficult to break but when they did was more like a watered down Gatorade was hard to see the hit I used it just to shoot my markers at trees and such My paint of choice has been Nelson anarchy

[@anthonym1502]

What type of paint should I shoot with a axe pro?

[@colebelt348]

My first time ever playing paintball we were shooting monster balls not knowing I still have nightmares about those lol

[@FactionalSky]

In Germany you are not allowed to use red or even reddish colors on most fields. Regardless of whether it is the shell or the fill. No red, no pink, no orange, sometimes even no purple. Green, white, blue and yellow are the colors that are actually always okay. But I'm tired of buying paint and getting randomly forbidden colors, so I always use field paint..

[@theshackpaintball]

Valken is having problems with their infinity. The new batches don’t shoot well at all. We switched to Defy paintballs and they have been doing great for our rentals. You can also go with Defy level 2 for higher end markers and it also shoots really good. Level 1 shoots so well you almost don’t have to even go up a level.

[@oliveremsick1677]

its awesome what they're making

[@flyingmonkey2453]

#PBQT is it worth getting a quick fill station at home so you can fill your own tanks if needing to do maintenance and if so what brand and where from

[@OrignalRecipe92]

The problem is a ton of fields are pedaling shit quality paint for top shelf prices and requiring their fields to be FPO. When the cost of the paint is extremely low.

[@Jb_outdooradventures]

I'm late to this but I have a planet eclipse emek 100 and was wondering what highest quality paint would you recommend. my field is capped out at 280fps

[@natewilson9701]

#PBQT Do lighter, upgraded bolts make a big difference on newer guns? is $30 to $50 dollars a reasonable gamble on an upgraded bolt on an Axe 2.0? I have seen numerous reviews saying every available bolt for the Axe is the best bolt (and the worst) and now I can't decide which, if any, to get.

[@williamsmith518]

You still play with your axe? I have an Axe 2.0 and I've used many different types of paint and I break paint of all types. Idk if I'm the problem or if others are having similar results.

[@RGRSRegen]

I play with a CS1. What paint do you think I should use?

[@haunted_wolf5649]

Which star paint should I use if my marker is a azodin kaos 3?

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

I'd try the 1 star or 2 star.

[@haunted_wolf5649]

Paintball Ruined My Life, ok thanks

[@THeavyArmsT]

I had a kid shoot me with monster ball years ago, he felt pretty bad because it felt like getting shot with a rock. He didn't have any money for field paint so I bought him some. A little after that that crap was banned from all over.

[@broncorc]

They banned those colors too because those are common colors that people wear. And if i shoot someone wearing blue with blue paint its tougher to see if they were actually hit

[@propm]

I prefer black shelled balls, they are impossible to spot before its to late. No dodging that.

[@smokay480]

Ahhh monster ball…I remember using monster ball in my backyard for target practice all the time. Thankfully I never used it on the field.

[@Diegogonzalez24]

i love my yellow Virtue Vios but its so hard to find paintball gear to match

[@oldsoul8265]

Diego Gonzalez My JT proflex and liquid jersey are both in yellow. I feel your pain. The yellow pants I want went out of production over 10 years ago lol

[@Diegogonzalez24]

its a sad time for us... maybe one day yellow paintball gear will go back into production

[@jimmyg8908]

#PBQT With the release of the Gmek, CVO and other mid to high end mechanicals, should we expect to start seeing a resurgence of mechanical tournament play or do you feel this is more of a gimmick (albeit resulting in awesome markers)?

[@sebastianestrada4690]

#PBQT I stopped playing paintball since 2012 and I am coming back. I have a really used planet eclipse 9 ego and i don't know if its best to keep using the old ego or buy a new empire axe 2.0 or mid range marker. Any thoughts?

[@Floodbait_117]

My go to is midnight 3 star or marblizer

[@DHKPerk]

Those monster balls killed me

[@ceno2903]

@PBQT Do you still think i should get a Mini GS as a good cheap speed ball gun? or has your opinion changed?

[@chrisf247]

Wait, why can't low end guns handle high end paint? Thinner shells?

[@A-G-F-]

They operate at higher presures and high end paint is more brittle

[@colecunningham7734]

What should I shoot out of my boblong intimidator 2k2 like 1star to 5 star?

[@oldsoul8265]

3 or 4 star so mid range to lower tourney paint. I have never had a break from Valken Graffiti in my classic (gen 1) Timmy so something a little more brittle will be fine. I wouldn't be too surprised if people have shot the 5 star out of gen 2 Timmies without any issues.

[@ZackyHall]

I remember there was a brand that did all the NFL teams back in like 03

[@BennyG416]

Canadian tire sells blue paint, as great as you think it would

[@TTV_VRT]

I need a revised version

[@jeremiahmorales9511]

Most accurate for empire mini gs?

[@blade4191]

Can you do a comparison between the GI Stealth and the Dye DSR. I’m really torn on which one to pick up especially since I’m getting back in the sport.

[@ashravenpb]

The GI stealth is a private label Gtek 160-R (different milling, crappier barrel, crappier case, more expensive). The stealth is a waste of money imo

[@MrCrankyNYC]

Thanks for the great video! Much appreciated.

[@TopherIsDaMan]

I play pump mostly so what paint would you recommend using? My field paint is GI custom blend and it runs ssssuuppoerrr small like I’m having to use my .679 freak back and I still get rollouts lol also is there another super small barrel kit?

[@ashravenpb]

.678 Lurker Eigenbarrel

[@haunted_wolf5649]

What star paint could I use with my azodin blitz evo 2

[@foxtrot4352]

Haunted_Wolf564 I mean, it’s an Azodin. Cheap gun, cheap paint. Use low or mid grade paint. I use APX Precision on my Cronus.

[@haunted_wolf5649]

Bardeaux Fiss would you consider a Spyder Fenix a lower end gun?

[@ayeeJai_]

What kind of paintball should a tippmann a5 use?? And do a tippmann a5 review pls!

[@ravenspe]

What brand would you recommend for a Tippmann A5? Haven't played in over a decade and thinking about picking one up to play with my nephew.

[@hybridce99]

I have an A5 with a flatline barrel, always used marballizers. No chops, groupings were pretty tight.

[@goldensurfer2522]

So I filled up my tank a month ago and it lost about 1000 psi is this normal or do I need to get my tank serviced?

[@gabbisan360]

What’s the best barrel to put on an Empire Mini GS

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

There are lots of great barrels give this a watch - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaSxf6VqbpWWhtE

[@5.2Aum]

Paintball Ruined My Life thank you for your help I’m a new to paintball and your videos help me out a lot I watch your video on a good beginner setup and bought the Empire Mini Gs

[@LostBoysCologne]

Art Paintball produces the best Tournament and Magfed Paintalls! For Tournament you should try "Berserker", for Magfed "Commander" (OffSeason or Winter). The Berserker is unbelievable!

[@illuminatorix]

Commander Paintballs are indeed good, by good I mean hard, round, yet hard to break on target too. We get hits from these paints and there are no breaks! (also they smell like gum :D)

[@paytonbeckman9790]

#PBQT how would you suggest getting into the sport as a new player

[@gregsniffin6717]

Hey can you make a video talking about secondary pistols, iv been considering getting one but I don’t know what one is the best

[@ashravenpb]

tipx is the best as a secondary marker since it doesn't pierce the 12 gram until you pull the trigger.

[@izzy1607]

I'm thinking of getting the HK barrel kit, would you recommend it?#PBQT

[@0nEl0vE_3m]

Freak XL barrel with .684 bore insert is what you need :)

[@gustavoinzunza412]

Would you recommend an armagillo voodo mesh dread instert?
