Smart Parts SP-8 Scenario Paintball Gun

smart-parts-sp-8-scenario-paintball-gun.jpg

  The opinions about this gun differ from one end to the other. Contrary to all of the guns out there in the same situation this time it’s all because of the SP-8 looks. There’s no middle when it comes to that. People either like how the marker looks or they think it’s hideous. But [...]

Smart Parts Vibe Paintball Gun

smart-parts-vibe-paintball-gun.jpg

The Vibe is another cheap gun from the Smart Parts newest editions. The marker has a 11 bps capacity and is definitely not the fastest or the most acurate gun out there, but it works great for most rec players. It’s also a great gun if you’re new to the sport. It’s really a nice [...]

Smart Parts SP1 Tactical Paintball Gun

smart-parts-sp1-tactical-paintball-gun.jpg

The SP1 is one quality tactical marker for a low price. The gun is very strongly built and you rely on it not breaking down from a minor hit. It’s also pretty light and quiet. If you like military style you’ll be happy with the body of this gun. It’s pretty comfortable and easy to [...]

Smart Parts EOS Paintball Gun

smart-parts-eos-paintball-gun.jpg

The Smart Parts EOS is here as a replacement for the Epiphany and although it doesn’t differ that much it sure is a nice upgrade to it. The two guns are really very similar (I can add the Ion here, too as it also doesn’t differ that much), but there are some tiny things changed [...]

Proto Matrix 08 SLG Paintball Gun

proto-matrix-08-slg-paintball-gun.jpg

If you’re sick reading about all those expensive guns that you just can’t afford, let me introduce to you the PM SLG. You‘re not the only one that can’t afford a high-end marker and paintball companies know that – and since they’re trying to indulge everybody Proto decided to hit the market with the SLG. [...]

Proto Matrix PM8 Paintball Gun

proto-matrix-pm8-paintball-gun.jpg

If you own a PM7 and are looking for another gun, I say skip this review and go check some other brands. If you own a PM6, though and want to upgrade this is the gun you wanna get. I’ll explain. The PM8 is the newest Proto Matrix gun which is better than the PM7, [...]

Planet Eclipse Etek2 08 Paintball Gun

planet-eclipse-etek2-08-paintball-gun.jpg

  This is a new version of the so popular Planet Eclipse Ego Etek and it sure deserves your attention. It’s smaller, lighter and performs better than its predecessors. The BPS capability is up and you know that’s always a plus. There are so many new things in it that you can’t really say it [...]

Planet Eclipse 2008 Origin Ego Paintball Gun

planet-eclipse-2008-origin-ego-paintball-gun.jpg

  The origin Ego 2008 is basically just the same like the Ego 08, but with some extras added. Even if you check the features you’ll find absolutely no differences between the guns. What’s different here is that Planet Eclipse added – 3 piece barrel kit and 2 additional barrel tips. It’s nice to have [...]

Planet Eclipse 08 Ego Paintball Gun

planet-eclipse-08-ego-paintball-gun.jpg

Another quite surprising gun upgrade. I really believed that the Ego 07 was a perfect gun, yet Planet Eclipse managed to upgrade it. And believe it or not there’s a significant difference between the Ego 07 and the new Ego 2008 Origin. This one’s even lighter (I guess it really is possible), has absolutely no [...]

Dye DM8 Paintball Gun

If you thought that the Dye DM7 was the best gun out there and that whatever Dye do they won’t be able to upgrade it, this is the time to tell you that you thought wrong. The new Dye gun is out and it is inheriting the name – DM8. And, yes, they’ve found a [...]

Dynasty Dynamic Paintballs

dynasty-dynamic-paintballs.jpg

  Dynasty Dynamic is another great paint by Dynasty Company. There are other paints available, but this is gonna be the last one of this brand to be reviewed. Just like the Dragon this paint is near perfection, but not quite as good. Again the main problems are the price and the difficulty in finding. [...]

Dynasty Dragon Paintballs

dynasty-dragon-paintballs.jpg

Dynasty Dragon is one of the priciest paint on the market.  With price varying between $70 and $80 for 2000 count it’s not something everyone can afford. Still, I’m sure I’ve mentioned that before – with paintballs, price do determine quality. So when paying a lot of money for paintballs, you know you’re getting a [...]

Nelson EKG Paintballs

nelson-ekg-paintballs.jpg

Those are fairly new in the Nelson arsenal. For now they’re keeping somewhat high price, but I’m pretty sure it will drop once some time passes. For now you can find them around $45 and $55 and this is probably gonna be the only time I advise you to wait before get the paint for [...]

Nelson Gold Medal Series Paintballs

nelson-gold-medal-series-paintballs.jpg

Gold medal paintballs are one of the fairly cheap Nelson paintballs. They’re kinda hard to find, but if you do some searching there are places that sell them .the price is about 35 bucks which is a pretty good deal. The paint is good too. Contrary to the Special Forces here you have plenty of [...]

Nelson Special Forces Paintballs

nelson-special-forces-paintballs.jpg

Special Forces paint is again one of the good Nelson products. It doesn’t get perfect reviews, but that’s not because it’s not good paint. There are other reasons, like its price for instance – 2000 count of those can vary from $45 to $70 depending where you’re getting it from. Fact is that there are [...]

Nelson Hemorrhage Paintballs

nelson-hemorrhage-paintballs.jpg

Again one of the good Nelson paints – not the best, the good. Many people like the Hemorrhage and there’s why. It’s really a decent paint to get although with its price around $40 I suggest you get the Precision. But this one should not be skipped as a try too. The potential problems you’ll [...]

Nelson Precision Paintballs

nelson-precision-paintballs.jpg

  Remember when I told you that Nelson Anarchy is one of the best Nelson paintballs? Well this is on of the other bests. Nelson Precision not only performs great, but s also cheap which is not something you find too often when speaking about paintballs. The Precision costs around $35 for 2000 count. You’ll [...]

Nelson Challenger Paintballs

nelson-challenger.jpg

Nelson Challenger is a paint that gets over the middle scores for performance. It’s definitely not the best Nelson paint, but there are worse from that same brand. Overall the paint acts pretty well. There’s not one complain about dimpled or misshaped balls, about crappy fill or shell. On the contrary people are very happy [...]

Nelson Whack Paintballs

nelson-whack-paintballs.jpg

Nelson Whack is somewhat a repetition to the Hot Spot. Although they differ a little it’s not by much. The Whack is also one of the cheap paints. They’re sold for $35 for 2000 count, which is just a little bit pricier than the Hot Spot and a tiny bit cheaper than the Nel-Splat. Of [...]

Nelson Nel-Splat Paintballs

nelson-nel-splat-paintballs.jpg

This is the paint from the same brand that you should choose over the Hot Spot. It’s a little bit pricier – 5 to 8 bucks (of total $35 to $38), but it will definitely be more satisfying than the previous one mentioned. Many of the Hot Spot flaws have been corrected, but there are [...]
