What is everyones opinion on the best bang for the buck paitnballs? I do not want to buy $65 a case balls to shoot around in my backyard or play rec games in my woods with. Also, where is the best place to get them, which I would assume to be online. Thanks for any help

I would say PMI are ok for what you want. There $45 a case and you can get them at PaintballGear.com (http://)

my local store sells brown box crap paint for $27.00 a case. I'm not sure any manufacturer will ever admit they make this stuff though. It is probably the worst paint in the entire world, and possibly beyond.

Sorry for the rant, but after practice today I sat and realized that I probably had about 2 pods worth of barrel breaks over the course of the day.

And yes, I'll be shooting this same paint next practice...:D

try competitive edge, it's 35 a case, white box. It's some of the nicest white box I've used, i bought four cases of the stuff, and almost all of it was nice to me.
go to 888paintball.com they have it, it's nice trust me.

with paint you get what you pay for.

I remember when Marbs were $80 a case, Quit complaining.

Competitive Edge is GREAT for backyard practice/play. the only problem I have ever had with it was the paint itself is easily wiped, not thick at all. I have gotten 2 cases from 888paintball.com and not one was ever sent broken, and I have yet to (Knock on wood) break any competitive edge.

best I've seen is:

www.firstcallpaintball.com

Bulk paint --> Zap: Spank 4 cases $135 shipped. Thats $34 a case. They ship quick and replace anything that is broken. Fill is thick as hell and hard to wipe. Only complaint is that the shells are slightly dark.

Sorry man, I'm just having kinda a rough day today i'm a little tired and stuff.

Its just the way i see it is why shoot cheap paint to pratice with? Wouldn't it kinda screw up your snap shooting if the paint doesn't go the same place every time?

if it is easy to pay $65+ a case for you then good. i do not want to pay that much for something i am not competing with. this is mainly for testing new mag parts (xvalve, level 10 break in, ult) as well as just screwing off in a woods game.

like i said before, just looking to get a deal. maybe the same paint i want is different prices at differnt places.
