This is one of the best known and most feared paintballs. Previously known as just "evil," this ball pioneered true tournament grade paint. Brittle, accurate and almost impossible to wipe, Evil is the paintball of choice for many of today's top teams.
Many Professional teams from the NPPL, PSP use this paint, heck even lower level tournament players use this paint and get the same results for many good reason, let me explain them all.
* This paint was tested in mid summer, so it would be around 90 F here.*
Size
Ultra Evil has always been around .687 for me when I got it, never varied more than .01 so that is not bad at all.
Shell
There are different shells for Ultra Evil, some are a Forest Green, and others are a Silver color. No matter the color they all have the signature Evil symbol on them and are extremely brittle. *Be careful when transporting this paint, it will break it handled incorrectly*
Fill
The fill no matter if it is Neon Orange, or Neon Yellow is always extremely thick and nasty. Have fun cleaning it off of you if you are hit. It tends to stain clothes if you do not wash it after a bit, but if you wash in the next few hours, it is usually fine.
Seams
There are not seams on this paint they honestly do look like marbles when you get them. It tends to be a trend with high-grade paints.
I have always liked Evil paint and this product keeps my faith in them. Yes they have had some flops early in their years but their paint is good.
*Although they are from Empire Inertia Pro, they are the same paint so here are some pics.* Here, Here, And here
This review is based on 4 cases of evil bought the same day.
The first time i went out with this paint was about 5 days after the purchase
There were no dimples in any of the 4 cases
At the field the paint shot phenomenally, was ball on ball and broke very well. i was using a 693 barrel and had no barrel breaks. off memory it was probably about 65-75 degrees out. The fill was awesome and I could easily see hits on my opponents, the fill was very thick also
This was my last paintball adventure for about 9 months.
When i went again i used the 9 month old evil that had been sitting in my closet. the paint after sitting for so long had no dimples and shot very straight.
The only bad experience with evil was on a cold day probably 55-60 degrees out. when the paint did not break in my barrel it shot straight as usual but had a large number of barrel breaks, However almost everyone else no matter what paint they shot had a high number of barrel breaks.
All in all this is very very reliable paint. it is very consistent and has a great fill.
*Before rating, please read the full review. My rating seems high, but categories are more aimed towards guns/performance parts.*
I am always trying new brands of paint to see which will give me good performance at a good price. One of those brands was Evil.
First Impression:
After hearing some reviews on 'Ultra Evil' paint, I decided I would try it once, and see how I liked it.
I bought a case at a local store and brought it home. I planned on using it the next day.
I read the description on the box, and particular liked the line about, 'Now when you can't hit your target, it's not your paint, you just suck.'
First time shooting:
I took it out the next day and was setting up by the chronograph. I had been using some leftover WalMart paint for setting velocity.
When I ran out of the cheaper paint, I used the Evil paint to finish setting up.
Wow, what a difference!
The paint shot very nicely, and all of the balls broke on the target. I took a few out of the hopper and inspected them. They were perfectly round, and all had the Evil 'E' logo on them.
I used them for the rest of the day, without any chops/barrel breaks. (Yes, these are more commonly caused by the gun/barrel, but brittle paint is more prone to breaking.)
The paint shot very accurate. They did not leave the inside of my hopper covered in oil. I was very satisfied.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
Perfectly round.
Nice thick fill. It is hard to wipe.
Cool little 'E' logo on all of them.
Not covered in oil; no gross hoppers, pods, or paint bags.
Break on contact.
Cons:
Price; A little more expensive than other paint.
Can be hard to remove from clothing; make sure you do it right when you return home.
Not many colors available.
Some say it is greatly affected by weather, but I personally haven't encountered anything to back this claim up.
Evil isn't around anymore, but I believe the paint is still going to be sold.
Final Thought:
Overall, I was very impressed with this paint.
I originally bought it to try it out once. I didn't expect there to be much difference, and I was planning on buying cheap paint again after testing Evil one time.....Boy was I wrong! It is now my paint of choice.
Appearance - 5/5. The paint looks nice. It is perfectly round and has a cool little Evil 'E' logo on it.
Performance - 5/5. Shot straight, broke on contact, and didn't break in my paint/barrel.
Reliability - 5/5 - This paint has always worked perfectly for me. While others say it can be affected by weather, I haven't encountered anything like this.
Value - 4/5 - While it's some of the best paint available, I would have preferred a price in the $35 - $45 range.
Thanks for reading. Any questions/comments feel free to PM me.
Do not confuse this with ordinary Evil paint. It comes in the same box and may look similar. This paint is infinitely more brittle and the fill is much nastier.
You can measure paint by how consistently it marks, flies and how consistently it breaks on target. It excels in all of these categories.
Ultra Evil is the paint of choice for teams like the Ironmen, X-Factor, Farside and Infamous for a reason. It is accurate beyond compare and bright as hell when it breaks. It has caused more 3-4-1's than probably any other paintball because it is so hard to wipe. If you get hit with it, just leave.
Do not try to shoot Ultra when it is cold out. You might possibly have the biggest mess in your gun ever. Ultra is also temperature sensitive so it might go from shooting perfect to not leaving your gun at all if the temperature drops suddenly (like when the sun goes down).
I play on a team sponsored by this paint so I have shot it since its debut.
Well lets start off with where i got this from. I got this paint for $30 at dick's sporting goods. I was really skeptical about buying this well known paint from here because i wondered how long it was up there. I broke down and got 1000 from $30 and went home and inspected it for breaks and dimples. None. The paint was perfectly round and had no dimples whatsoever. It was all a consistent .689 bore and looked cool. It was red and silver with a thick orange fill. I went to shoot it a week later and was using an EGO7 running at a low pressure of 100psi. It was shooting great except when i broke paint. The paint was so thick that it took about 10 shots to clean the barrel through and then i shot a string of about 25 balls and they went everywhere. The paint was more exploding off the target rather than break on target. If i actully hit it from the front, it would splatter and not move. If i skimmed the target(a mask) it would break and just spin and paint would just go everywhere but the target.
other wise great paint if you want to shell out 60 bux a case for it.
Very bright fill; but will stain clothes if you don't wash it out within a day (sometimes sooner). There are better, but for the price, its hard to beat. Great for rec and tournament play, may be a bit much for practice.
This is one of my favorite paints ~ super straight shooting, bright thick fill, breaks on people. The only thing I don't like about it is I find it to be exactly like Nelson Anarchy that I get for $20 cheaper a case. Still a wonderful paint though.
It is now my paint of choice.
