Not All Paintballs are Created Equal
Aren't all paintballs the same? We're not talking about rocket science here, we're talking about shooting capsules with paint fill and splattering someone with a little paint. How much different can a $40 case of paintballs be than a $75 case of paintballs. The truth is though that when buying paint, you do usually get what you pay for, and paying for top quality paint can really pay off in professional games for tournaments. The creator of the paint fill and gel capsule to produce a nice grade of paintball is pretty complex, and it will a lot goes into the process to give you a reliably ammo to shoot with. Here's a quick look at the paintball making process, and what needs to go right to give you a product that you can trust.
Making Your Paintball.
Creating the paintball involves the molding a gel around a hollow shell, then putting two shell halves together and filling the insides with water soluble paint before closing and sealing the two halves. A process involves heating and cooling the gel mixtures at the same time, filtering out all impurities, and carefully trying to build shells with a process that will keep the finished product maintaining its perfect spherical shape. If the end product is to dry or too moist, or dimpled, it could lose its perfect form and not shoot out of your marker correctly. Any imperfections to your paint could cause your marker to jam, or not fire correctly.
There are a number of things to look for when searching for reliable. First, it will be a general rule that the more you pay for paint, the better product you will get. Especially if you are competing for a sport onto a professional team, or are playing for first place in a prized tournament, you will not want cheap paintballs exploding in your marker. Included below are listed of some of the most popular manufacturers of paint.
Nelson. Nelson Paintballs are the fathers of paintball ammo. They were the providers of the first oil based paint used in the first official games, and the first providers of the first water based paint that are used today. It all started when Hayes Noel and friends saw farmers shooting at cows and trees with Nelson paint and thought, "Why don't we shoot this stuff at humans?" This Nelson paint provided the ideal non-lethal or injury causing ammo that athletes could use in survival games or flag capture contests. Today, Nelson Paintballs have an impressive line of paint that includes the Special Forces Series, Hemorrhage, Hot Spot, and Precision.
Draxxus. Draxxus produces a complete line of paintballs, including the Draxxus Arctic Inferno (a line of paint that are resistant to colder temperatures), Draxxus Blaze, and the Draxxus Midnight.
