Has any one shot Severe Paint?

[JEDI]

I'm gonna be in a 3 man coming up and the paint is gonna be Severe. I heard its rather small but pretty good. (.682) Any feed back would be great. Thanks guys.

It's not bad, just on the small size. It's all we shot at the Castle Conquest at EMR.

[ogre55]

Maybe it was just my load of paint at castle conquest or perhaps some other problems, but I HATE severe. Due to the small bore, and me not having a barrel matched for that size, the paint would drop past the detents, and into the barrel, so that I would either get a double shot or a barrel break as one ball hit another in the barrel.

Another factor could have been the fact that I was using a HALO B, which force feeds the balls, so that they were forced into the barrel.

So my opinion of Severe is not that hot.

I've used severe before at FBM when they had it and I love it. Can't really remember it being to small but it was awhile ago. Shot really nice and I didn't get any bounces with it either.

[LittMag]

Actually, come to think of it, I did have my share of dimpled and football shaped balls which jammed my neck. The small bore did annoy me, maybe if my mag w/ warp was functional at the time it would've been bad.

As for the bounce test I'm getting 7-8-9 and 10s consistantly.

Ya its small bore and marks well when it brakes, like on gogs and hoppers... other wise it should be called "severely hurts paint"

[TheBigRaguPB4L]

Shot it at practice once, one of my teamates told me it hit his tank and it bounced. He didn't have a cover on it, so it just hit the tank straight on. Hardest paint around.

[rhetor22]

yep, its hard. I got a case of it a while ago and i loved the stuff. It was great cuz it never chopped or broke EVER!! And people are afraid to get hit by it!

[Shockerboy18]

its the worse paint i have ever used its dippled and i even took a bounce off the gogs. one time i came up on this player shot three times in the head and they all bounced to tell you how hard it was it got jammed in a tippman bolt

[Brian68mag]

Yes shockerboy is right.
I was using a tippy awhile back and shooting severe and in jammed the tippmann bolt, pinched it without breaking.
Unbeleivable.

My RT hated it! Even wit ha well tuned lvl 10 I got some breakage in the gun, both barrel and chops. The fact that my warp hose got shot in half that game didn't help either! And the small size threw my barrel off a little, but for one reason or another, I hate it.

[cris8762]

ok.....i use severe at all the 3 man tourneys i go to, and it rocks....

i love it and so does my impulse....i havent tried it in my mag yet, but it works real well in my impulse with an AA barrel, and works well in my teammate's cockers that have boomsticks on them(yes they bought into ALL the hype)

Hi,


Personally, I have both bad and good batches. Dimpled balls are taken in account since every paint has them. From my experiences wit hServer you like it or hate it.


My personal opinion about Severe that's on the most part, it is good paint. It has broken consistently on the intented targets. It chronos fairly well. The price of the paint is usually nice. I have had some roll out. Usually it was EMR's batches of paint. When I play my dealer's private games, the batch is usually a nice size running around 688 perfect for DYE barrels.


Talking about hard paint. Proball was notorious. At 300 FPS it would literally disciagrate bunkers when shot. I would bounce off rocks and would hurt like heck. Anything further than 75 feet was pushing a break on the target.


That's my 2 cents,
Alan

if nyou get cyclone its decent but the other stuff sucks really bad when it get jammed btw a tippman bolt you know thats some thick shell when i played with it we said screw it and bought a case of marbalizer

[Ohms Law]

The home field I play at uses Severe Paintballs exclusively and it is really good stuff. No dimples, no barrel breaks and breakes on target better than paints of comparable quality. We played a 10 Man tournament recently and the paint was not a problem for anyone. I highly recommend it.
