'Merica paintballs for sale (just pay shipping)

[rawbutter]

I made a mistake buying these Valken Merica paintballs. They were on sale for $60 a case, so I thought they were just Valken Graffiti with a makeover. Turns out they're much more brittle. When I did a drop test, 7/10 of them broke from shoulder height. I don't think this is tournament paint, though. Most of the paint is round, but there are the occasional dimples and oval--ish balls, which is more typical for mid-range paint, not tournament paint. Not that I'm all that experienced with tournament paint. But still.

Anyway, this stuff is so brittle that I can't use it with my loaner Emeks. My Level 10 Automag could handle them okay, but when I did get a break, I couldn't shoot through it. Every ball after the break shattered in the barrel and came out in a spray. So, I'd rather just give away the rest. If you've got something high-end that can handle fragile paint, please take it off my hands.

I have about a case left. You can have as little or as much as you want. Just pay me for shipping.

I had the same issue with the Dynasty banana balls, I’m hanging on to them hoping I can age them or something

[rawbutter]

Banana paintballs? Why the name? Do they shoot like bananas? Are they yellow?

Gosh....they're not made from banana, I hope.

Yellow and smell like banana

Atomic Ordinance had the same banana scent added to their specialty grenades made for the Predators scenario team. You could smell old battles amongst the trees. Tippmann bought the company at some point.

for me brittle needs to break at knee height. I have shot brittle paint out of an Emek, which bolt do you have?

[Jonnydread]

rawbutter Similar story here! At our outlaw field we count bounces so I actually prefer harder shelled paint . 99% of the pay to play fields near me are FPO anyway.

[latches109]

Complete opposite here. You have to have the guy dripping in paint before they will call out. Bounces/hits, no one would be honest and leave

[rawbutter]

That sucks, latches. I don't know if I could put up with players like that.

I just gave my nephew a paintball gun for Christmas, so having some cheap paint for shooting in the backyard would be great for him. I'll take it if it is still available.
PM incoming

What kind of gun did he get? This is pretty brittle stuff. It might just break in his gun a lot. Though I guess that will give home lots of practice cleaning it up. Lol.

[appleguy]

You asked the right question! I got him a Spyder, so watching him clean his gun would for sure be in his future. I also have a few guns that are softer on paint that he could use, but if they really are that brittle I'd better pass.

I'm withdrawing my bid for these brittle balls. Free bump!
