That Chronic was pretty tough but it still doesn't stack against that load of Hotshot. That was the only paint I was ever affraid to get hit with.

Oh and congrats on making Black Cell's roster Dayspring.

ahh, but why are spyders so popular if they are made overseas? seems to me that a gun that was made in north america would be eaiser to get.

ya follow me?

Paint is different from markers... You just can't be as rough on paint, shipping wise... And it has special requirements (temperature, humidity, etc.).

But....

If im not mistaken , severe is actually based out of florida. When you order paint from them, its either comes directly from florida, or from a distributor in your region that gets it diretly from florida. The trip from the actual manufacturing plant occurs beforehand. The paint is stored at severe's wharehouse until it is ordered.

This makes sense. :)

severe bags

I was also at Casle Keep at EMR when they were using the severe paint. We really didn't have ant problems with it. I noticed they use a different type of bag for their paint though. The bags are really thin and stiff, as opposed to diablo and worrpaint. Maybe that has to do with the problems some people had with it. It almost seemed like the plastic used to cover new cd's with. Just a thought.

This paint was incorrectly stored, that's all (in a place too hot, increasing the tickness of the shell).

I've played with the Severe paint for a year, before my team got another sponsoring. The tournament grade is still one of the best paint I've shot so far, just slightly behind the Zap Chronic (funny, no ).
Poeple which were playing Camp Master last year in Paris could confirm the quality of the paint.

We had once troubles with the Severe paint, it was at Toulouse last year. The paint was incorrectly stored. The result was the worst paint we've ever had.
I'll always remember one of our match. 10 seconds before the beginning of the match, we shot two paintballs directly to the ground 2 meters away from us, just to see them bounce
We hit at least 6 times a player in the right corner, two balls right in the gogles, one on the botle, and three on his chest. They bounced each time. The guy was laughing so much he decided to play one meter away of his position, right in front of us. All our paint was bouncing on him.

We lost the match, of course, and did our worst result in a Millennium so far.

Conclusion: always store correctly the paint, and check what you buy.

LOL, thatd be funny. Play a paintball game where the paintballs don't break, so basically whoever can get to the flag and hang it first without dying from all the paintballs being shot at him wins

It would be fun just lighting someone up like that though.. haha

You'll find that this is not 'air'. It's the pigment settling out of the liquid in the paintball.

The way paintballs are made you'd have to deliberately inject air for there to be air in them.

But of course the biggest BS about any claims about paint being "oblong" is that paintballs are decelerating after they leave the barrel. And whether accelerating or decelerating, any deformation certainly wouldn't be oblong. Forces on a paintball are either equally distributed over the back surface (while accerating) or equally distributed over the front surface (while decelerating).

yes,i must say, cyclone paint is exceptionally good for its 40 dollar price tag...


Cyclone down here is so good. It comes straight from the factory, onto a plane and onto our field, where it is promptly stored correctly and used. It is awesome paint, apparently the us has the shipping problems
