Review of Brass Eagle Reaction Paintballs

Hmm, because I would be looking to buy about 5 cases and would be able to pay in cash and, if it works out, would come back for more in a month or so.

Would you say they would be better than stingers?

I signed up for this forum specifically to write a review about this paint, since I was not able to find an adequate review before I bought them. I tested the entire case, and I regret buying them. Here's why. Go to the bottom summary if you want to skip the details.

Marker: Tippmann 98C, 12" lapco big shot barrel, apex tip, co2

Cost: $25/case

Accuracy: Shooting at a five gallon bucket at chest level from about fifty feet, I could hit it on average about one out of ten times. With other paints I can hit it 8-9 out of 10 times. The balls have an oily residue on them which seems to put an erratic spin on the ball, making them fly in every direction. Sometimes the spin was so bad, I would miss by five feet or more. And every shot is different. I suppose this might also be attributed to the fill. Funny thing is, this was the first paint that I used in my new Tippmann, and at first I thought it was my marker. I thought I had made a horrible purchase with the Tippy. Then I used some Visual Impact(also from Walmart, and very good paint for the money) and Marbs. This solved the problem.

Shell: Dark green. Break well. They would be very hard to see one coming at you in woodsball. But not to worry, nobody will be able to hit you with these anyways. The oily residue on the outside make them stick in my gravity feed hopper, and I constantly had to keep shaking the marker. At worst, they would stick so much that I would dry fire about every third shot. This made accuracy worse because I had to constantly re-aim. However, I did not chop one ball in the entire case. I attribute that more the marker.

Fill: Moderately bright pink. The fill is very oily, and does not wash off even with hot water. Heck, soap and hot water hardly does much. But since I have only tested these, I do not know how well they wash out of clothes. I'm guessing they would stain just like Monsterballs.

Dimples: The first and second bags on top were dimple free. The third bag had a few dimples, and the bottom bag was heavily dimpled. But who knows how long they were sitting on the shelf. There were no breaks in any of the bags.

SUMMARY

Pros: Cheap, dark green shell, break well, you can give them to your friends if you really want to screw them over.

Cons: Very inaccurate, oily fill(probably stains clothing), clogs in gravity feed hopper, dimpled, stink like an old-man-Chinese-food fart, oily residue on shell.

Conclusion: Would never use this paint if I felt like winning. If I felt like running around shooting pointlessly, then this would be a good paint. If you're going to Walmart to buys these, then spend a few more bucks and at least get the Visual Impact or Recon. I wouldn't use these if Walmart gave them away.

nice review....

crappy paint.....
