    Your Mag Loves/Hates _____ brand of paint.

    Like the title says, please post which brand (shell, fill, etc) that your mag just loves and which it hates...

    I know that mags have notoriously hated real brittle paint in the past. Has LVL10 changed that? Since I am getting back into playing now, and there are about 100 more paint brands out there than I am used to - I am hoping for some insight.

    Someone will probably hunt down the picture from IAO, but let me say this. Never, under an circumstance, try to shoot Hellfire through a mag. This mag has break beam eyes, and this was done under a light rate of fire. Basically every other, or more, of the balls I tried to fire exploded in the breach. After shooting less than a hopperful, there was a liquid line in my Reloader.

      Mags do fine with any kind of paint, the level 10 really works wonders if you tune it right. It just depends on the bore of your paint/barrel match. As much as I dislike pbnation this is useful. It's a big list of every paint and barrel size. That being said I really like diablo formula 13, it's quality and it's cheap.

          And from the looks of it, I don't think I want to.

            eh, you gotta realize, paint at iao, was crap. i took bounces off my mask from blaze, yet hellfire was breaking by the slightest drop. it was rediculous.

              I was throwing Blaze over the power lines with some friends who were there, and it was bouncing off the pavement on the other side. I took a bounce from a super bunker move off my forehead, though the other one broke. Those using Blaze or Hellfire were forced into an entirely different game. Paint storage left something to be desired, so that may be part of it.

                    where does the OGD take place? something is telling me S. Carolina or something east coast. I want to play an OGD event.

                    I shoot bonus ball alot. cheap and works decently. havent had too many problems. Inferno one the other hand, does not keep very well, i ended up throwing away over a bag's worth because i couldnt shoot it.

                      I usually shoot the cheap stuff when I play semi, and If I'm worried about brittle paint I just go woth a slighly larger bore barrel and my mag doesn't seem to have any problems.

                        Severe "hurricain" paintballs. level 10, eyes, lvl10/w eyes were all in effective with with that crap. I like xball gold/silver. Bronze I sometimes have more than one or two. Nelson paint has been good to me. I just stay away from the Severe line of paint and have pretty good luck.

                          could that have been that bunker move i made on you? i recall puting 3 or 4 into you, and not being sure one actually broke... damn sidelines being so close

                            My mags love pretty much anything. But they have the best results with Blaze and Formula 13.

                              my mag likes it hard. meaning, the hard paint. draxxus inferno, or nelson hotspot.

                              it is pretty good with all paint though
