k first off these things often look like fish eggs in orange shell (you can see how terribly made these are).
second, YOU WILL HURT SOMEONE. ive been on the receiving end of these things and (the few that actually have broken) have literally been like frosting fill. thats how hard it is inside, the fill actually stains worse, and you scrape it off.
DO NOT SHOOT THIS PAINT! many fields are banning this paint, or are trying to get it banned.
After hearing nothing but bad things about Monster Ball (and seeing it in Walmart and Sports Authority) I decided I'd never buy Monster Ball. However, I was forced to use it yesterday because by some screw up the field I was at ran out of paint mid-day and they were forced to find paintball for like the 100+ ppl at their field for the day. Monsterball was it.
My group went through about 6 cases of monsterball yesterday, I must have used about a half case to myself.
Appearance: Ugly Green Shell..looks like Frankenstein's Monster, hard to see where your shots went in dark lighting. Fill was a bright neon, which was good to spot hits and call people out.
Performance: For accuracy I definitely noticed it did not fly as straight as other paint from my gun. In woodsball it worked quite well because it could fly through shrubs and etc without breaking mid-way. However in general the paint itself bounced a lot. Especially on people wearing baggy clothes and/or lots of layers (like myself).
Reliability: I had no breaks/chops in my gun (Vice). However my friends with rentals were complaining about breaks and inaccuracy due to it all day.
Price/Value: This is no-choice paint or rec-ball for first-time player paint. Even then the price of much better value paint (like Nel-Splat) is only a bit more per case. You get what you pay for, but I'd recommend spending a bit more for higher quality.
Overall: I give this paint 2.5/5 stars. Use only for backyard use.
Yea well it was the second case of paintballs I ever bought and the only case of monster balls I'd ever buy again. My first case was buzz balls and I loved those they were cheap so I figured another cheap case would be fine...I was wrong they curved only went out like 5 feet sometimes and when I finally managed to hit someone, guess what????They left a huge bruise and didn't break or even come close to breaking, after we finished playing I walked around and now that I think of it don't even remember finding a broken or near broken one of my paintballs they were all intact.
Bottom Line:You be better off shooting nothing at someone compared to shooting these because the only difference between nothing and monster balls is an occasional welt.
i've tried a few cases of these just to have some cheap balls to waste some time with. both cases were basically the same: dimples and more dimples, rubbery shell, and poor fill (when you actually get to see it). my bro actually had one wedge in between his bolt and breech and lock up the gun.
maybe i just shouldn't buy them from walmart, but it's the only place i know that carries them locally anyway. these aren't even worth buying for practice. you may end up screwing your marker up.
So I bought a box from Walmart, open up at the field and ALL the paint were gooey like gummie bears but the were still almost round. I exchanged them @ another Walmart. This time I opened up the box to check the paint before I bought them. The shells were semi hard but shootable. They're very small bore? Seems like maybe .679 - .681. Well we shot them up and just about every one of them bounces!!! IF.... IF they broke you could barely see the mark maybe the size of a nickel!
My recommendation:
If you can purchase paint from the field.... DO IT!! You will be wasting money buying this crap!!
