Drop Test results

Tempurature was around 85*

Shell condition after drop: The pictures of all the individual paints below shows the pegball and Tork after I smashed them with my fingers to get the paint out to check thickness. Here is what they looked like after the drop test.
Eliminator: shell pretty  much shattered.
Chroinic: Shells spiderwebbed. I think the thicker paint kept them from shattering at such low velocity.
Evil: 2 split open on the seem, 2 craked on the seem, 1 cracked away from the seem.
Tork: Cracked away from seem but just cracked, no paint came out of any of them.
Pegball: Every one cracked on the seem. 1 of them split open.

See below for notes on each paint tested.


Chronic: Nice thick paint. Very Bright color. Heaviest paint I tested (See chart). Hard to wipe. Picture at top of page shows actual color.


Evil: VERY thin paint (ran like water). Not alot of color (more like someone dropped a few drops of chronic in a small glass of water and shook it up). Ball shell has sort of a matt finish/texture. Not the slick shell like the other balls (because of that, I would imagine it would work great in a flatline, if it isnt too big for the barrel, since the ball needs to roll along the top of a flatline. The rough texture of the barrel together with the texture of the Evil should make a great combo.).

Eliminator (Tournament Grade): Medium Thick paint. Good color. Brittle shell (Did best in the Drop Test) but I never had one break in my A5 and I've shot the whole case through it. (Sorry for the blurry picture.)


Tork: Thick paint. Good color. THICK shell (During testing at 75ft.( Target was a piece of linolium with a plywood backing) I actually had 1 ball bounce back about 30ft and it didnt even have a crack in it. I then Bounced it on the concrete, hard enough for it to bounce twice as high as it was when I let go of it, 11 times before it finally cracked. I was starting to think someone had thrown a superball in with the paintballs as a joke.)


Pegball: Paint varied from medium thick (#3,4,&5), to Really thick(#2), to VERY thick(#1- I had to actually crush the ball between my fingers and then wipe my fingers on the floor. It was about the consistency of toothpaste.) Good color.
