Not everywhere has a decent paintball shop. But there are Wal Marts everywhere.

not every walmart stocks the same stuff...so quality of markers will most likely vary

oh yeah thats JUST what we need. Drive ball paintballing was bad enough when they bought tippys and spyders from Walmart; let the average idiot get his hands on a electro and see how many eyes can get knocked out.

Also i think this will only end bad for paintball manufactures. Just ask rubbermade (or is it rubbermaid? eh whatever) how heavy handed Walmart can be with the companys it deals with.

wow, you guys know i dont post an awful lot, i'm more of a quite type even online :) and i posted this same exact thread on pbnation. i was flamed repeatedly even though i stated that i was just posting in case someone hadnt seen it. the level of maturity here has always been one of the most impressive anywhere i go online. thanks guys for making the effort to be objective and actually discuss the topic of the thread

[phantomhitman]

thats the understatement of the year...

You speak the truth, but you have to love them for that. I think I got 6-7 Nintendos from them

this reminds me, several years ago someone found that K-Mart had Angels for sale on their website.

so no one else is thinking that walmart opened a national( nps) account? maybe this will finally stop national from being jerks to small local shops after a big giant company takes advantage of them. and local dealers that see this GO AMERICAN PAINTBALL!!!!

this chickey is happy. my fahter is a manager and therfore gets an ok discount..

and here i thought i might have to get the hopper for my new toy used untill i could afford something better. guess not.

[bleachit]

define ok discount?

I get 10% as an associate.. which I thought was the same for management....

[geekwarrior]

now if they only sold paint that wasn't crap.....

Dude Blue streak>ALL

[bleachit]

blue streak wouldnt be half bad if you could actually see it make a mark when it hits the target.. when it breaks you cant see it.

That's all the management gets as well; but, 10% will most likely cover sales tax.

[bleachit]

thats what I thought...


barely covering sales tax....

As for paint, I would definately steer clear of walmart paint. I used to work in a local
Wal-Mart warehouse as an orderfiller (the person who literally throws the freight onto a conveyor belt) for a year. I would throw every paintball that walmart sold. The paint would sit in the module for months at a time before I would send it one box at a time to a store. The pallet never got rotated or thrown out because it was old. And those months that the pallet sat in the module were after it had been sitting on a rack for several months waiting to go in the module.
Not to mention that the boxes didn't exactly receive tender loving care when handled; had to make production. Morale: Wal-Mart paintballs = BAD!
