    I think the best way to go is Draxxus and PMI. It seems every person likes one or the other, and both of them are really good imo. Also draxxus is very into big games, such as last year, when we got fresh paint from the van happy cowthief!

      I think we should stay away from PMI and Severe. Both run half black shelled colors which can mess with IR eyes and burn Halo motors.

      Zap or Draxxus should keep things running smoothly. I like Draxxus better because it tends to be more brittle, so I suppose since a majority is shooting Mags, Zap would be better.

        Paint

        I have yet to shoot a Severe ball that has haf black shell. Most of the time I use Cyclone or Tempest, but even the Hurricane has always been a decent ball. Never having a black side. I feel pmi has gone down hill in the past few years. It's sure isn't the same stuff we have been accustom to getting in the past. We have gotten in Marbs the absutely broke when drop from knee high. Thats to brittle for me. I prefer Severe over most brands, but as a promoter why not have two brands of paint on hand? Give players a choice. A choice is always better than saying this is it nothing else. I'm sure its hard to get a paint supporter that will go along with that, but if they sell good stff they should have a problem with alittle competition.

        SEVERE if possible.

          How can you not like Zap? Have you ever shot Chronic?

            Hiya Pacman!

            I was at SA1 and met Mother at last year's game at DZ. I also swap emails occasionally. You seem too busy to catch, but I'll make an effort to hunt you down and intro myself. I was the PGP artist, but my A5 is my primary aerochromatic weapon.

            Dunno, about all I know is PMI, since that's what IA fields push. Marbs were great. Seen some real inconsistancies with BigBall, Premmies and Polars. Our Tourney guys say PMI paint sucks. The JT Max at SA1 was mediocre accuracywise, but I had only my stock barrel, so a different barrel may have helped.

            My new Armson Stealth on my A5 likes small paint. My PGP likes big paint. Hopefully, I'll have a largebore Armson Pro at Shatnerball3 and of cse, I always have my gaping stock Tipmann barrel.

            Maybe have some dirtcheap stuff, like the flying snowmen at SA1, then a better and best brand.

            Draxxus might be a bad choice. Some devout Christians, like in the CPPA, display hypersensitivity to Draxxus marketing and boycott fields and events with Draxxus. I don't think Draxxus paint is worth alienating a large and decent group of people.

                Had the pleasure of being shot with it two weeks ago. Wipe Ultra Chronic? Fuggetaboutit.

                  Anything fresh and doesn't taste like poo (recently taken up a habit of poping paint in my mouth at events/parties/school). :o

                      Yes indeed, Glickman.

                      I even get funny looks from people at the field when I do it. And usually I inspire one person to try...they end up gagging for air.

                      SO far I've been able to keep the fill in my mouth, but not the shell. It's just too textured and lumpy to try and swallow.

                          Draxxus never had a problem with it. any marker can use it, even my old raptor (the paint-blender)

                            I have to say that I loved the yellow shelled Severe that was at the event last year. Very easy for me to track in the air, shot great, and the only time I broke any in my barrel is then I accidentally bumped the trigger on my BM2K while the barrel bag was on.
                            There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't.

                            With understanding comes understanding.

                            If the saying is true that we are what we eat, aren't we all just cannibals?
