View Full Version : My emag rocks on brittle paint
I did a bounce test on a bag of paint i had from sunday. I did 30 balls. I had a couple that bounced 7 times and the rest were between 0-2... there were more 0's then 1's or 2's though. Well anyway I just had some fun unloaded a hopper + warp full of this paint that just stinks :) pmi premium btw. An almost nonstop string until the end with my freak+superbolt emag... not one break :) I love my emag... doesn't handle brittle paint?? that's about as brittle as i've seen around here... hehe
Anyone else have a mag that just loves the brittle stuff???? :)

Yep. I didn't break once in the whole case.
The paint was Potluck. For those who don't know it is very cheap "leftover" paint. Its from PMI. 35 bucks a case.

I used to shoot PMI Premium all the time and I thought it was great paint. I never had many breaks in the gun and it usually broke when it hit someone. While it is great it still can't hold its own against anarchy or marbs. I have never really shot marbs that much till last weekend but instead of shooting 100% anarchy now I will split it up 50/50. Those have to be the best paintballs in the industry. They are about the same quality but Anarchy is much cheaper 10-20 dollars less a case. Those paintballs are what I swear by now.
But to answer your question my mag never has tasted much brittle paint as I don't really like very brittle paint. If I were to use brittle paint I know I would break balls in the hopper when sliding into bunkers. Happened last week and ruined a couple of games and I had to take the hopper apart. The foamie on my superbolt works wonders though and since I have never had a foamie for the mag I am definatly sticking with it from now on.

It was 20 degrees and they had it kept outside. Made it really brittle.

OH, I see. It is a little rare to be 20 degrees in Tennessee so I never really had to play in that extreme. I bet all paint sucks in that weather though.
I'm sure it does but it's nice to know the emag can handle it... when i played I broke a couple but switched inserts and was fine until another break etc... just a lot of switching inserts etc

Yeah if I am ever using terrible paint that is breaking alot I always use the biggest insert. It isn't as accurate because paint to barrel match is terrible, but it greatly lowers the amount of breaks I have.
