You can get some great deals on paint at this site. I like RPS marbalizer, it's my fav. If you talk to every one before a game you set up and buy everyones paint on this site shipping is free on orders over 100, and you end up saving a ton compared to buying locally. Last time I orderd I think I got like 5 boxes of 2000 plus nades. You don't have to order exp. stuff for the new guys if u wana cut cost for them. Marb on their is like 2000 rounds for $57.00 I figure thats plenty for 2 people for 1 day. Me it could last the weekend So you buy for 4 people, 114 bucks, usualy I get bigger orders but $28.50 for 1000 rounds of what I consider some of the best paint out their. Round it up to 30 a person and buy some nades to spice things up. Oh yea they are located in ohio, orderd on thur, got it on Friday! but i live in Michigan. And the paint is fresh, better then any local shop around here and half the price for marb at least!

Oh yea I have a ICE Epic paintball market, and yes it is boltless. I havn't played in awhile, need to find someone with land around here :(

Yeah I play with ferret, and I use nothing but marbalizer for games. In my opinion it is the best. I have an ACI F4 Illustrator with an xcore 8 stage expansion chamber, dye sticky grip, bottom line, viper m1 raised sight rail, thunder pig true flight 14" barrel, and a 9volt viewloader hopper. I also have other accessories.

I used Marbalizer and Proball when I played, depending on what the temperature was. Proball holds up better in lower temps.

Paintball can be a very expensive sport, depending on how you play. If you are a casual player who just wants to play a few times a year it isnt so bad. However if you want to play in tourneys it can get very expensive not only with the level of marker you should have, but travel expense ,paint costs etc.

I have never used Xball bronze so dont know how it shoots..

You ever play at Top Gun in NJ?

For those that are new and dont know, if you plan on going to a paintball field make sure you find out if you can bring your own paint. A lot of fields dont allow you to use your own paint and require you to buy theirs..

I buy a case from them and hide a case thats mine and use both. They don't know plus the refs don't look at the paint you're using anyway(well at least for me)

I have been a ref many times and can tell you that we will take note if your paint color is completely different than what people get hit with. Not only the color of the paint but the shells as well.

I have had guys compltely dump out their hoppers and pods on the field when I find non field paint.

So paintballers beware!!!! :)

Yea, I'm not fond of paying to play at a field because they charge way to much for paint. We play at friends houses exc. One thing nice about living in the country ;) oh yea and xball cost is 2000 for $39.77 from http://www.xpaintball.com/xbpa.html
maybe next time I order i'll get 500 and try them out since they are cheaper then marbs. However, I love the dry seams that RPS has, im not sure if any other paintballs are made dry.

I am with ferret, i think it is pretty gay that you have to buy their expensive crappy field paint. Is there a reason for it besides making money Bromsin?

Munky and I play. We both have some decked out Tippmann A5's. The only thing I hate about the sport is getting tons of splatter on me, not actual hits but just tons of splatter.

Last year we used to tear up the fields with our A5s, we had a bunch of other guys we played with who also had A5s but this year it looks like we impressed some people because everyone has A5s.

Far as I know its mostly for profit. They sell quality brand name paint but yea its expensive. Last time i played a couple years ago it was $90/case of 2000 for Marbleizer
