    It depends how it was chronied and the range. Shooting 295 I saw clean hits on soft cothes at full range. Shooting 240 I could only get it to brake at 100 feet max and not always on the newbs dressed in pillows.

        Bronze can be a bit bouncy, it isn't as fragile as Silver or Gold, but it does break and mark well the majority of the time. Think of it as super good recreational/practice paint.

            Last place I bought paint onlint was Firstcallpaintball.com, generally I've had good luck with them getting paint to me with minimal breaks if any.

            Zap Primer is awesome paint if you're on a tight buget. Balls are nearly bullet proof but the fill is outstanding and washes out super nice.

              i tend to get the cheapest paint i can find (28.95) - which is normally made by zap and comes in white buckets - since i have a level10 i dont really get any chops and it pretty much goes where i want it an splats when i want it to.

              marbalizers used to be my favorite paint, i just cant see myself spending double the price for the difference in quality; then again i'm in college and my budget is tight.

                I refuse to use RPS paint.

                The past 6 months I was forced to shoot it, and I've never hated a brand of paint so much.

                Sure we got premium for $26, but not being able to get it out of our guns was something I didn't like.

                Worr practice paint seems to be decent, fill is crap but it flys straight and doesn't break in the guns.

                That is around $15-20

                Atomix Fuzion / Steel is some of the best paint I've shot, down at SC Village... it was green shell w/ lime green fill that smelled like lotion. We got it for $28 a case... but I think it retails for $45-50

                      Eh, just sayin' the fill in Primer is really super thick and hard to wipe, when it dries it just flakes off like corn startch.

                      I know I appreaciate it when I come home and my custom jersey doesn't have perma stains all over it.

                        True enough, true enough. I very rarely get a chance for a good Dr. Evil laugh though. I had to take it. (insert evil pinky smirk here)

                          Marbs and Evil are my choice of paint, but being the cheap *** Iam 15$ a case gets me some decent house paint . Now that I think of it, Ive only shot those upper brand names when one of our friends worked at local sporting goods stores :rofl: (about 2-3 times) other than that Ive only USED house paint, hahaha

                            I shot yellow Evil today (not Midevil) and it shot great. I used my gauge on it and it was about .688 also - which was nice for a change.

                              I agree with xball paint. Bronze is probably the best ~$40 case of paint you can buy. However, it seems the prices have dropped on silver and gold...pbgear had gold for just 3 dollars more than bronze a while ago which is a 'why not' kinda deal. Another close one would be Karnage - if you can find their cheap stuff "Bite" anywhere in stock. Usually something like $35-40 a case and good stuff.
