Elite Paintball Guns

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. What’s not so perfect here is the shell that sometimes is too brittle, but not always. Other than that the paints are very close as performance rate. Probably their main difference is the smell, believe it or not. The Dragon has banana scent and the Dynamic has apple one (which to tell you the truth at one point gets irritating). The Dynamic has variety of colors you can choose from as long as you can find it. It’s priced around $50-$55 for 2000 count which is definitely cheaper than the Dragon (I relate it to the fact that the Dynamic has been longer in the Dynasty arsenal). If you can’t afford the Dragon and want something cheaper, but still great the Dynamic is the paint for you. It possesses almost all of the Dragon qualities and great performance, but it’s relatively cheaper. It’s tourney quality paint at very decent price which you should not miss out and definitely try.

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 high quality product. This is just the case with this paint.  There’s absolutely nothing to complain about with it…except its price. I won’t say the paint is perfect, because there’s no product that deservers this description, but the Dragon is very near perfection. If you get the chance to try it it’s almost certain that you’ll fall for it. I’ll go through the specifications again as I do with every other review, but this time keep in mind that when I write “great” and “perfect” I mean it 100%. The fill is the first thing that’s gonna capture your attention – it’s just the right thickness and brightness and also stains great (great meaning hard to wipe, but easy to wash). Another thing you’ll notice is that it has banana smell (and taste, but don’t eat it) which is not something you’ll find very often with other paintballs (very often=probably never). The shell – it’s perfect. Breaks on target contact every time and barrel breaks are very, very, very rare. Your accuracy will only improve with this paint (just mind that the best bore size for it is medium) – the balls are greatly shaped and almost seamless.  It’s the paint you just can’t refuse to shoot with. Unfortunately it’s kinda hard to find, a problem we find often when speaking about the priciest paintballs, but there are web sites that sell it. And as I already said if you can afford it, don’t hesitate to buy it.

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 a try. It’s not that it’s bad, but as I said I’m pretty sure the price will drop. As to the reviews this paint is getting - they’re alright. It’s not the perfect paint and there are better Nelson paintballs to choose from. The fill of the EKG is fairly good – it’s nice and thick, but again there are not too many fill colors to choose from. I’m actually not sure if there are any other colors than green. I have to check that out. Anyways other than the good fill I can say that these balls fly pretty straight and there are gonna be no problems there. It has to be used with middle size bore and the balls are pretty consistent in size. What I don’t like is that the shell is on the hard side. It breaks most of the time, but bounces are possible. The good side is that it doesn’t break in the barrel. Still you know beside bounces what’s the other problem with hard shelled paint – it hurts like hell when you get hit with it. So if you’re not using any proper protection gear I say when you go to friendly paintball games get another kind of paint.

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 color choice and no matter which one you chose you’ll be happy with it. The fill, no matter the color is bright and although it’s not the thickest one among all the Nelson paints it still does what it’s supposed to – stains and is not easy to wipe. With this paint you need large bore size and it’s not the first time I’ll say that, but if you do not match the size of the paint with the size of the bore you better skip that day of paintball…it’ll be a waste of time and nerves. The balls fly pretty straight although they tend to drop a little, but those are rare occasions. I suggest you use the paint in normal weather conditions as it’s not very durable when it comes to extreme temperatures – cold or hot. For the price I say it’s paint worth trying, but I say that every time, right? Still you know the rule – try as much paintballs as possible…eventually you’ll find the perfect one.

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 better Nelson paintballs that come cheaper. I think that’s the reason the Special Forces is poorly reviewed. It’s a paint that requires a medium bore size and the ball diameter is pretty consistent so that’s the bore you should be using. The paint performs well – it has nice thick and bright fill, nice round shell that breaks on target and rarely in the gun. The paint is accurate and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed from its performance. Beside the other Special Forces flaw is that it comes in just 2 color variations. I’m a person that likes to have options and for me 2 colors are just not enough. But other than that the paint deserves a try. It also comes in pretty nice packaging. It looks very military which is cool and a nice change of scenery. So don’t hesitate to try the paint if you have the money. If you don’t there are other Nelson products just as good if not better than it.

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 get with it are bounces as the shell tends to be on the hard side. It doesn’t like cold weather and gets really brittle when those are the circumstances. It’s also pretty hard to find as not too many stores sell it. And that’s about it on the bad side. Other than that the paint is great. The fill is alright. The shape and size are perfect (perfect size meaning consistent one). Accuracy is also good – no reports about curving and falling. The paint is a little bit on the tiny side so it likes small size bore (mind the bore size – always - or you’re risking crappy day of paintball). There are also plenty of colors to choose from. So as I said this is a paint you shouldn’t scratch from the “try list”. It is a little bit pricier than the Precision, but still. And btw it sometimes happens that the highly rated paint sucks for you and the lower rated one feels perfect. Most of the time that’s pure luck, because the lower rated paints are usually cheaper. Try it…what more can I say.

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 agree with me that for that money what you usually get is some medieval paint that tends to cause you problem after problem – not this one, though. The paint it really good – the shell is just fine – not too hard, not too brittle, just right - it breaks on target and not in gun. The fill is bright, thick and stains just enough. There’s also no inconsistency in the ball size – it requires a medium bore size and you know that’s the only one you can use with it. The balls are perfect – they’re round and are not dimpled. The seams are pretty good too. You now the things said in the last two sentences guarantee some decent accuracy…as much as it depends on the paint. What’s not so good about this paint is that it doesn’t age too well. You’ll notice if you come across old paint…all those things mentioned as strengths immediately turn into flaws. The paint is totally worth those 35 bucks and this time I insist you try it out. To tell you the truth I even prefer it over the Anarchy.

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 with all those mentioned – the shell is just brittle enough to break on target and not in gun and the fill stains just enough to prevent wipes, but doesn’t stain the clothes forever. What they don’t like is the inconsistency in the ball size. Usually the Challenger requires a large bore size like .692 or larger, but sometimes that’s way too large. I relate that to the weather conditions, but you should watch out what paint you’re getting and match it to your bore. Another complain is about paint accuracy – it’s not too often but people are saying that at first it shoots straight but then starts to curve a lot. This may be due to the noticeable seams that tend to catch air, but as I said that’s not too often of a sight. The paint costs $20 for a 1000 count and it’s definitely not the pricier paint out there. My advice to you is to part with 20 bucks and give this thing a shot. You now that the right paint is out there…you just have to try as much as possible to find it. Who knows – Nelson Challenger might be just that.

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 all three I’ll stuck with the Nel-Splat, but those do deserve to be reviewed anyway. The problem with the Whack balls is mostly the fill which just like the Hot Spot’s one is pretty watery and does not stain well. Here the problem is even bigger as there are also just a couple of colors that you get to choose from – orange and yellow (they’re bright though if that’s any consolation). The shell is also pretty thick – meaning lots of bounces (but less barrel breaks). Still on the good side the shell may be hard, but is also pretty round and isn’t dimpled so you’re getting pretty good accuracy levels with those. I rarely talk about paintballs packing, but that’s mostly because they come in boxes. Those actually come in a bucket which is a nice feature for a change. The Whack work best with medium bore size and I have to add that in their case there are extremely rare complains about diameter variations. Again those will work better for you if you don’t use them in competitive paintball. They’re just fine for practice and fun. I suggest those over the Hot spot, but if you plan playing competitive get the Nel-Splat

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 still some that recur. With the Nel-Splat you get pretty decent fill – thick (definitely thicker than the one in the Hot Spot), bright and it sure stains. There are also plenty of colors to choose from. The balls rarely break in the barrel, but contrary to the Hot Spot they break on target hit pretty well. They fly straight most of the time and even though sometimes you can experience some curves this is not an often sight. Unfortunately the inconsistency in the balls size is still here which can be a huge problem sometimes. Also if it happens that you do break a ball in the barrel prepare yourself for quite a messy situation. So, overall those paintballs perform well but not great. There are plenty of other paintballs that are much better than those, but for the price they’re given I say they’re a good choice. When talking about paintballs guess price do reflect the quality – there are exceptions of course, but it’s up to you to find them for yourself.
