Lets talk about paint . . .

[LoveMyMagMoreThanYou]

I didn't say to avoid mass merchant paint altogether, I know a manager at my local Walmart that understands that you need to turn your paint periodically. I have shot Walmart purchased paint and have had mixed results. I have however had better luck with paint purchased at my local paintball shop. If your in the area, that is Mad Dawg paintball in Stanwood, WA.

I live near a "Pev's Paintball" shop that has Draxxuss "Midnight, Blaze, and Inferno" as well as X-Ball "Bronze, Silver and Gold."

Bronze is blaze, silver is inferno, and gold is hellfire.

So essentially they have 3 different kinds paint.

The blaze would probably do well in a mag, and maybe the inferno, but hellfire/gold is extremely brittle.

Blaze shoots great in mags.

Midnight is ok, but ive had mixed results that vary wildly.

Two weeks ago i was shooting paint that was dark blue shell, and dark blue fill. In the woods.
Needless to say i coundt see anything that i shot.

I've had horrid results with Midnight and won't touch the stuff - gun breaks left and right, NO breaks on target, difficult to see, very inaccurate.

X-Ball is all great. I've sprung for Silver but it wasn't much if any better than Bronze.

Hellfire, which is about to disappear and be re-labeled "X-Ball Gold" is fantastic. Every ball is identical, perfectly formed, shoots dead-on straight and always breaks on target. If you have a gun that's rough on paint, you might get gun breaks with Hellfire/X-Ball Gold.

FYI: Procaps makes all this stuff. Draxxus and X-Ball are just registered trade-styles (aka "brands") marketed by Procaps.

Blaze works great out of my Mag. Most people seem to like X-Ball, but it did not shoot straight for me. As you already found out, Stingers don't work all that great.

Draxxus midnight has been really good to me in all my mags. It also usually runs small in bore size. I personally use the new Diablo Nightmare as the fill is some crazy nuclear colors and thick. I have never broke a ball and these have been consistently accurate with my freak kit.

Two paints that I have had good luck with but are more expensive are Nelson Anarchies and Proballs... always flies straight and breaks on target. I really like the red/red Proballs.
