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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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"
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.
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 $30/ every few years, etc). Paintball is like 50-75 for paint alone, then admission fees etc. i think it would become a lot more popular/sponsored not by having better brand deals at the high end and marketability, but making it more cost efficient on the low end.
NXL events usually have 3 to 4 paint vendors, however in my all my experience of playing tournaments GI Sports provide the best paint you can possibly shoot.. My first choice of paint for a tournament would be G.I 5 star & 4 star if 5 is not available. No there is no 4 or 5 star I would probably shoot Ultra Evil which Ironically ended
Been trying to meet u in person but keep missing u out here in modesto. I went to go buy that sarrico coat 77 ninja tank at extreme paintball because i saw it on ur channel and micheal said he sold it to you. Extreme paintball for life.
Shout out to monster ball for my scars. I also used to use it at American Canyon Paintball Jungle. Looking to get back into paintball in the next couple weeks.
HEY! Monsterball Scar! One Time someone was shooting an Autococker that was over-tuned on a Small Map, and I got NAILED in the temple by a Monsterball flying at 430FPS! Hit me on the mask and still knocked me out for a second, I half-way fell over after getting a Flash of white. Told the Refs after the game and they chrono'd the cocker and found out he was cutting Field paint with Monster Paint and shooting SCARY hot. Reckless Autococker owners are the WORST
I have been to capital edge (which is in Sacramento) several times and the paint that they sell there is great works fine for everybody I go with but they do charge 60$ and have some colors banned. So regardless your going to have to use what they provide there and great vid keep it up.
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.
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.
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
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..
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
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.
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!
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)
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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
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
No issues with blue but I mostly only see yellow and wouldnt be surprised if in the future it becomes the only fill color that is allowed because rule 6.8.1 yellow is a prohibited gear color. For the sake of contrast this could become a rule.
all local fields around me only allow GI paint which is fine by me because 2 star works best for my 98 and my wallet. There is one field near me that are so extreme on their rule of only using GI paint that they only want you to use "their GI paint". The worse part about it is they sell 2 star GI paint for 4-5 star GI paint prices. Plus I believe all the employees there are pot heads. Walked in a year or 2 ago to get a ball latch for my Tippmann 98 just before they was about to close and a few employees and other guys was walking off the field and they all smelt like they just smoked up one and one of them walked behind the counter and started stripping down to his boxers right in front of me and other people there. I seriously need to give that place a bad review if they have a place to do it online
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
I actually had a monsterball 'ring my bell' if you will at a BYOP big game. it didn't knock me out by any means, but was well above and beyond what a paintball hit had ever felt like before, and left me with a nasty bump on my dome. I always saw monsterball as a danger to paintballers that had no place in the industry. A real shameful display.
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.
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!
Shoots good , but some private air ball fields have banned some HK paint because the fill stains and some shells are a pain to clean because of the way the shell breaks.
Hey Brad, was just wondering if you think there is a huge difference the new dangerous power e2 compared to its predecessor, the e1or is it just mainly a cosmetic thing. (Btw love the vids) #pbqt
Talking about monster ball activated my memories of getting shot with whack! Brand paintballs in the mid 2000s. Shit waa indeed whack. Somewhere between a paintball and riot round
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?!
#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)?
#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?
God I miss that stuff. It was $100 a case and I didn't feel bad spending that money on it because it shot like it would cost $100 a case. The inferno of that era wasn't bad either. I feel like all of the high end paint quality nowadays is what 32 degrees Team Colors was at its best. But at over double the price. It's a shame. I wish I had the money to buy my own encapsulator so I can run my own paint and put out paint the same quality as the 2000s era paint.
Pretty sure the best is Monsterball. AT LEAST a close second. Fantastic stuff. Always play with Monsterball for the best experience. IM KIDDING do not buy or use Monsterball
I like the defy brand stuff a lot. the hk tourney grade is supposed to be descent I don't use it tho, graffiti always has been good tho I think now you can get a better breakability of ball for 60. always use the empire evil stuff instead of the 5 star as gi sportz team not sure why not my call tho. the d3fy practice paint for 35 a case is a great deal and the stuff shoots straight, not the best breakability but at that price point I dont expect much, to get a rope out of some cheap practice paint is good. their 45 a case shoots straight and breaks well.
G.I. have been inconsistent for years and years and years. When they were called Dark Sportz it already was a hit or miss. Now still the 1 star paint is very inconsistent over here in the Netherlands. I would take Pro Shar any day over G.I. when it comes to rec/training paint. Tournament grade I really like the 3, 4 and 5 star.
visje66 well if you think about the shipping from Canada it makes sense. During winter months in Canada then going into a plane makes the paint a whole lot more inconsistent
GI paint is flat out the lowest quality in the industry. Ive never seen a consistent bag out of hundreds/thousands of bags of it. Its always extremely oily, makes your hopper look like it hasnt been cleaned in years after one game. Ive been trying to get my local fields to dump GI for some better paint like Karnage for a while now with no luck
Please send us pictures of of the hundreds/thousands of bags of inconsistent paintballs. If you can include a UPC label picture that would help as well.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I LEFT OUT RED PAINTBALLS!!! RED LOOKS LIKE BLOOD = BAN.
Red also stains like a mofo, same with blue.
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.
I remember playing with red paint about 7 years ago got 2 pallets of it from the army lol it sucked.
Not if you're an Alien, Brad. Paintball has gone galactic.
Hell Survivors in Michigan uses red paintballs.
Here in Germany red paint is forbidden because it looks a lot like blood. Thought this might be interesting to some people. :)
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.
Wir schießen ja auch mit weniger saft als in den USA
Yea well germany's laws are fucked anyway
@@BamBlamboTv lol
Same thing here in the Netherlands
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.
I foresee many an argument over actual hits. "My jersey is just wrinkly, Ref"

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.

mikend4spd sucks

Thanks for this comment.
I've probably saved around $30 because of it :D
go to paintballus.com
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"
the etha 2 is basically an electric tippmann 98. it can shoot anything and everything
Amen
Another reason to love my yellow JT liquid jersey!
Can you please do some reviews on some D3FY sports products pleaseeeee
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.
j&j's are amazing
how tf do u not have like half a mill subs, you have the best pb vids ive ever seen
Make a blooper reel for the voicemails lol. That might be fun
your videos have been getting better and I notice better views. You go mang.
GI/Empire has been the most consistent for me 👍🏼
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.

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 "
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..

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
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.

Funny, my local field exclusively uses pink paint. GI Sportz Field Grade to be exact.
Canadian tire sells blue paint, as great as you think it would
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
I really like wreck elite paint or Draxxus paintballs try them they are great for woodsball
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..
I use to run pink balls
I got hit by em too!
I have stains on my jersey still after ten years!
Visible Impact pink, filled grenade went off in my hand. Ruined my gear
Holy shit. I watch your videos all the time and never realized you’re from sac!
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

its awesome what they're making
Those monster balls killed me
due to the pine barrens in new jersey, non peg fill paint is banned. NO OILS
I prefer black shelled balls, they are impossible to spot before its to late. No dodging that.
Lovin the Etha 2 and even more since I adjusted the trigger!
Have you checked out the magnet mod for the trigger?
For mag fed best 0.68cal balls are Tippmann's Combat Series.
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.
I’m guessing a 160r can shoot pretty much anything
The reason my local field bans "Home" paint is some players thought thy were funny and used pepper balls and solids on feald.
at the field I work at, we still have marks on every bunker from monster balls
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!
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)
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.
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
My first time ever playing paintball we were shooting monster balls not knowing I still have nightmares about those lol
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.
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
I need a revised version
this was posted on my birthday lol
My go to is midnight 3 star or marblizer
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?
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
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
Brad if you read the NXL rules 6.6.4 red, orange, and pink are prohibited.
No issues with blue but I mostly only see yellow and wouldnt be surprised if in the future it becomes the only fill color that is allowed because rule 6.8.1 yellow is a prohibited gear color. For the sake of contrast this could become a rule.
Thanks for the great video! Much appreciated.

I seriously need to give that place a bad review if they have a place to do it online
What’s a good paintball brand to use with the Tippmann Tmc
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
here in new jersey paint that isnt 100 percent peg fill is banned due to the pine barrens.
I actually had a monsterball 'ring my bell' if you will at a BYOP big game. it didn't knock me out by any means, but was well above and beyond what a paintball hit had ever felt like before, and left me with a nasty bump on my dome. I always saw monsterball as a danger to paintballers that had no place in the industry. A real shameful display.
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.
The TMC is better than the MR6 is every way you could think of
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!
ahh yes moster balls i used those so many times lol
I've only shot empire and valken paint, feilds here in MD only allow feild paint so far.
Joy Divison gets away with that Yellow tho lol, so happy they came back
iv eard of red being liked for milsim and banned for it making it hard to identify real injury.
Kinda surprised I didn’t hear anything about HK paint because I hear so many good things about it and how everyone is using it.
unknown emojis hk paint is honestly some of the best stuff out right now it's so good
Shoots good , but some private air ball fields have banned some HK paint because the fill stains and some shells are a pain to clean because of the way the shell breaks.
Same
worst paint ive ever used
I think it’s all marketing
Hey Brad, was just wondering if you think there is a huge difference the new dangerous power e2 compared to its predecessor, the e1or is it just mainly a cosmetic thing. (Btw love the vids) #pbqt
omg i remember the monster ball fiasco
prstgsFrags Walmart paint?
I'm thinking of getting the HK barrel kit, would you recommend it?#PBQT
Freak XL barrel with .684 bore insert is what you need :)
Talking about monster ball activated my memories of getting shot with whack! Brand paintballs in the mid 2000s. Shit waa indeed whack. Somewhere between a paintball and riot round
Wait, why can't low end guns handle high end paint? Thinner shells?
They operate at higher presures and high end paint is more brittle
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?!
My 2016(2012) spyder fenix 2 series sometimes chops wrek elite paint. But won’t chop Walmart crap
Defy paint is pretty good
The proto rize maxxed can handle any type of paint
Who shoots a 60 dollar + case of paint threw a gun less then 300 😂🤣
Any lesser known Paintball manufacturers you’d recommend? Is Nelson any good? NitroDuck still around?
William Chandler defy paint is pretty underrated in my opinion
I know I used light blue marbalizer at pb jungle and they had no problem with it
Great video brad
#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)?
#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?
Which paint is the most like the old Ultra Evil?
Suitcase hellfire from the 2000s. Everything else since has been shit.
I still have hellfire that i got online with my used marker haha
God I miss that stuff. It was $100 a case and I didn't feel bad spending that money on it because it shot like it would cost $100 a case. The inferno of that era wasn't bad either. I feel like all of the high end paint quality nowadays is what 32 degrees Team Colors was at its best. But at over double the price. It's a shame. I wish I had the money to buy my own encapsulator so I can run my own paint and put out paint the same quality as the 2000s era paint.
Draxxus still sells hellfire? Idk if it's the same as I didn't play paintball in the early 2000s.
Pretty sure the best is Monsterball. AT LEAST a close second. Fantastic stuff. Always play with Monsterball for the best experience.
IM KIDDING do not buy or use Monsterball
I like the defy brand stuff a lot. the hk tourney grade is supposed to be descent I don't use it tho, graffiti always has been good tho I think now you can get a better breakability of ball for 60. always use the empire evil stuff instead of the 5 star as gi sportz team not sure why not my call tho. the d3fy practice paint for 35 a case is a great deal and the stuff shoots straight, not the best breakability but at that price point I dont expect much, to get a rope out of some cheap practice paint is good. their 45 a case shoots straight and breaks well.
#PBQT how would you suggest getting into the sport as a new player
What kind of paintball should a tippmann a5 use?? And do a tippmann a5 review pls!
My field uses neon orange and pink.
Most accurate for empire mini gs?
G.I. have been inconsistent for years and years and years. When they were called Dark Sportz it already was a hit or miss. Now still the 1 star paint is very inconsistent over here in the Netherlands. I would take Pro Shar any day over G.I. when it comes to rec/training paint. Tournament grade I really like the 3, 4 and 5 star.
visje66 well if you think about the shipping from Canada it makes sense. During winter months in Canada then going into a plane makes the paint a whole lot more inconsistent
GI paint is flat out the lowest quality in the industry. Ive never seen a consistent bag out of hundreds/thousands of bags of it. Its always extremely oily, makes your hopper look like it hasnt been cleaned in years after one game. Ive been trying to get my local fields to dump GI for some better paint like Karnage for a while now with no luck
TJ Jahn oily for sure, man with GI 1 star we had many boxes we had to open on towels to ,,dry'' of all the excess oil.
GI Sucks
Please send us pictures of of the hundreds/thousands of bags of inconsistent paintballs. If you can include a UPC label picture that would help as well.
I have a question what type paintball does MCS paintball or TMC guns take ??
@PBQT Do you still think i should get a Mini GS as a good cheap speed ball gun? or has your opinion changed?
