As far as not breaking once hitting a plant, one person in the Armotech
forum claimed the TC Viper Venom and Viper Platinum paintballs are pretty
solid, going straight through bushes and other shrubbery.

I tried a case of bigball over the weekend in my medium bore barrel and it
was all over the place. I couldnt find a single symetrical paintball in the
bags...they were all different shapes. This was a brand new case sealed,
etc. The store owner said that big ball was "recycled" paint... ground up
and reformed into paintballs. I'm sure this has nothing to do with the
quality though... just an interesting fact. Maybe they ran this batch on an
old machine with lots of play, or maybe the machine was slightly out of
adjustment. Regardless, It shot like crap and I was lit up more than once.
The color was sort of a pale pastel orange. The dark blue/grey I shot once
before (same marker) worked great... not sure what the deal is.

I think next time I'll spend a little more and try something else.

Big ball is not recycled. My guess is it was stored improperly. All the big
ball I've ever shot has been round and flies good. It just has a very hard
shell.

I believe the shell itself is the remelted/remixed left over shell-stuff.
Notice how the color is always a brown to dark blue. Its all mixed, baby.

It also doesn't seem to survive contamination very well. One broken
ball in the bag and even after cleaning the rest of them are all over
the place.

All the Bigball we have in stock is Purple, Orange or Green.

Tom -

You could always get one of those cheap kid's rock tumblers from the
local Wally-World and put your milk dud shaped paint in there. Fill it
about half way with the paintballs and start tumbling. Check it every
twelve hours or so until it is round enough to shoot.

Did that with a bad batch of RPS a long time ago, and it wasn't as good
as a good case, but it was better than throwing it at the wall after it
jammed my gun.
