First off let me start off by saying this paint is 2nd or 3rd's paint. They take what they have left from making the good paint (premium, evil, ect. kee makes a lot of paint) melt it down to make the shells and use whatever fill they have left for the inside.

That means the shell will almost always be a darker color due to how colors mix together 2-3+ colors= brownish/dark colors. Not really a bad thing unless your using something with a one eye system. Like the old school smart parts vision system.

The fill can either be great or water mixed crap. I've shot it several times when it was filled with AllStar fill and several times when it was like someone mixed some chalk dust with water.



Summary: Sometimes it shoots as good as better mid grade paint, and sometimes it's nearly impossible to get it to feed through a hopper or shoot. Your really taking a gamble on it. If your not willing to risk getting total crap paint spend a few more dollars on something that has a more consistent record.

This is the field paint at one of the local fields and had FPO on the side. The package is very unimpressive and most of the balls I received were dimpled. Due to the irregular shape of the paint it was hard to determine if the paint would fly straight if given a chance. It broke well on bunkers and opponents with minimal bounces when it hit them. Not a bad rec/practice paint. Most balls are better than these but they are a decent budget alternative if you can find them for a decent price

I've used diablo heat on numerous occasions. It has two different ways of coming to you, in a sealed bag w/ factory logo and in an open bag w/ twist tie.

Shell:
The factory sealed bag's balls had a VERY thick shell and gave me tons of bounces. The open-bag ones actually had a very decent shell and a light toss toward the ground broke the ball.

Life:
-The balls from the sealed bag could sit for quite some time without any damage but the open-bag ones got nasty pretty quick. I noticed the balls starting to deform and the paint being much easier to see through a side of the ball. If you've got the open-bag version of this paint, try to use it up at the field. Don't bother taking it home and letting it sit.

Fill:
-I didn't really notice any difference in the fill quality. Both have mediocre thickness, you can wipe them if you're hit. It doesn't come out quite as easy as some other cheaper paints but it still isn't too difficult.

I'd reccomend this stuff for recball or team practices but nothing too important.

There is nothing good about this paint except for the cheap price. I got this for $40, which is the cheapest at my field. However, this paint is downright horrible. When i opened the case, the first thing that I saw was BROKEN PAINT in EVERY BAG. I then opened the bags and inspected the paintballs more closely. The paintballs were decently round considering the price paid. I then tried to pop the paintball by squeezing it to see how easy it would break. When i squeezed it, the paintball FLATTENED. It was like a piece of flexible plastic. The thing would not pop. Do not tell me that the paint was just old and not stored properly. I bought this paint from a great paintball field that gets fresh paint very often.

I was playing speedball, and I snapped out the side of my bunker to hit some guy trying to run up and grab the flag. He was about 10 feet away from me. I lit him up, hitting him 7 times in his tactical vest. He started to walk off the field after I hit him so much, but a ref stops him, and asks him where he was hit. He says that he was hit 7 times in the vest. However, the ref tells him that he isn't out because NOT ONE of the PAINTBALLS BROKE. This is how bad this paint is. Hit him 7 TIMES in a HARD TACTICAL VEST from 10 FEET AWAY, and there were NO BREAKS.

Do not but this paint if you actually want to get people out. Maybe if you just like to shoot for no good reason, then maybe this paint is for you.

Appearance: When I first opened the Heat the paint was in good shape, no broken balls or egg shaped paint.

Performance: For the price this is really good paint. I would not suggest shooting this in a tournement though. If you pay more than 40 for this paint then you are probably getting ripped off, but for the price I must say this paint gets the job done pretty well. The shell is pretty thick which means less breaks in guns, but also less breaks on people.

Reliability: Shooting this paint was fine, no barrel breaks, chops, etc.

Value: Like stated above, there is much better paint out there, but for the price this stuff is perfect.

I have been reffing at a local field for a while now and the owner gives us a case of Heat everyday we ref. It shoots great, and personally I have only had one bad batch before. 99% of the time it shoots well and is fairly free of oil on the outside. And I have never opened a box to see any broken paint.

I recommend it for the price. It may not be the best bet for a tourney player, but for anyone who just likes to have some fun on the weekend, you can't go wrong.
