: Hello! : I'd like imput from everyone on what, in your experience, was the thinnest shelled paint you've ever used? : I ask because I reciently had a rather bad experience with JT paint. I ordered a full case last August and, one half the case was fine (damn store tried to charge me full price for 1000 rnds!!! firstcallpaintball.com if your wondering!!!) and, seems to do ok. The other case was horrid. Oh the rounds are nice and round, but they bounce....and I mean BOUNCE. To the point were I had to almost throw my shoulder out of joint just trying to pop one on my concrete stoop! (it bounced the first five times!) : If I hit a target farther than 20' away, the round has about a 50% chance of not breaking. And that's with the "good" half case. : So, I'm looking for some nice, thin shelled paint. But I'm a bit out of touch with the industry as I've been laid off for a while and paying attention to other things (a pox on worldcom). : Any suggestions are welcome! : ) : : Gotin Posting to yourself? ;) I can sympathize - I am a former LDDS/Metromedia employee. I got out when they tried to force me to move to San Antonio... The all-around best, most fragile shell paint is Hellfire. It hits it breaks, period. Big problem is the price, retail ~$70/80. A cheaper alternative is RPS Slam. Almost as bright as HF and almost as fragile, but retail ~$50/60. Tom
