tom is that the paint we first got at blackpool??? if it is, like raffles said, dont do it!

It certainly was Ali, it jammed my Victory on the first ball and shot tripe out of my ego.. Glad we changed it quickly to DXS Silver..

I would certainly never use it in training or Tourney..

Im would use DXS Triumph guys, i have used this for about three months now and find it to be great.

We have even used it at the NSPL..

The Celtic Gun chest or whatever its called is good paint, the brown box of stuff with the halal badge on it.

Alot of skirmish sites use it as their site paint as its hard enough for dropped hoppers and unserviced guns and is very cheap.

Id stick to something like warpaint or dxs.

im so confused by your post chriz!

and the celtic was horrible as it was said shot it twice and both times horrible i wouldnt mind if it was at least round but it was pulling some odd shapes

Another paint that Celtic make is called bullet chest or something like that i really cant remember whats its called but its in a brown box with a halal badge. That is good paint, nice and round etc.

The stuff we had then was obviously a bad batch and was a different flavour, Celtic dont just have 1 type or quality of paint. The question was about celtic paint not a specific box full or type. For example DXS have gold silver bronze etc, if you said DXS is mint paint because you only shoot gold (ex hellfire stuff) then you cant really comment on the bronze can you?. Likewise if you shot bronze and it didnt perform like gold at an event then would you judge DXS as a company and call every flavor they have?

Either way Proto is my fave BZ PAINTBALL AND PROTO PAINT FTW lol, and i say that honestly as a personal opinion having shot many brands etc

Edit:- http://www.celticpaintball.co.uk/ - there you go the stuff on the left in the brown box is good, the stuff on the right was what you were whining about

Say well clear of the green shelled stuff. Even a .698 bore would have trouble getting that stuff through it.

One tip for users of Celtic though - keep it warm - not luke - but toasty. It does not like the cold at all. Maybe it's time to invest in a FlameTek bag (like I did)?

 

[chrizwheatley]

Personally i found the opposite, keeping it really warm made it rubbery and bouncy, keeping it out the sun and quite cool (in the summer) it was lovely.

To be honest i dont bother boring paint anyways and just shoot a .693 and dont have any trouble with an ego.

I have a flametek bag and have to be honest its brand new as i have never used it as i mainly shoot proto anways. Proto is a really rugged paint, ok it may on occasion have a few small and a few big balls but nothing to write about considering the quantity i get through. The odd time i have had a rotor jam (i think twice) which out of hundreds of boxes i dont see there is a issue. It bursts lovely on impact if looked after right (like BZ do) but can stay in a pod with left overs for a week or whatever and still shoot fine

Yup that's the stuff i used, and was sublime.

 

[Raffles]

All the Celtic we used to shoot (used to be sponsored by them) turned in to golf balls when cold (dimpled and hard).

Maybe I'm doing them an injustice though - as that was 5-6 years ago (when they first came on the scene).
