Blue Streak vs. Wild streak
Ok guys, there is a big sale going on at k-mart and I'd like to know from the many experienced and inexperienced buyers of paintballs from walmart and k-mart if these two brands are good. Well are they? Please tell and I've got a poll up so vote on it. Thank you.

From what I can tell, they're mostly the same. The wild streak is supposed to be made with a similar process as the afterburner paint. Which is still, well, y'know. It seems like a typical hype scheme. Release two products of similar quality, and hype one so it seems like the "next step up."
I'd say just buy equal ammounts of both and see which one works out best for you.

40 is cheap. At least, by my standards. Cheapest paint i ever got was $34 and that was some big sale. So for the 30 or so u might pay for the wild steak or blue streak, you can get infinitately better balls for a small price.

Listen you can get that crap wild streak or blue streak (they are the same just different colors) from wal mart for 40 bucks a case, or you can get big ball for about 45 a case. The difference in quality is well worth the 5 bucks.

Blue streaks look like paintball with powerade in em. If you hit someone, you/they probably won't be able to see it.

Very true. Some guys we play with were shooting wild streak. I was hit by it and could honestly not tell if if it had broken when I looked right at the hit because I couldnt tell when I felt if the greasiness on my hand was from that paint or from wiping off the other hits after the previous games. It's horrible horrible paint.

When a guy I played with used it, he shot me twice in generally the same spot. I honestly could not tell if he hit me. When I feel a hit, I touch it with the tips of my fingers to see if it broke. When I did, all I felt was grease. It looked like somone shot me with powerade. I stayed in, cause I didn't know if it hit or not. If someone is not gonna use good enough paint to tell if they hit someone or not, I'm stayin in. Afterburners are even better than these, c'mon.

Then your field must be horrible. Wilstreaks are just another color of powerade they put into the balls.

You're such a noob. If you were any sort of intelligent paintballer you would know that brass eagle and all zap (besides chronic) is crap. Don't use walmart paint! At least get it from xpaintball. I can get premiums for 30, I doubt you could find a better deal. You'll need to use some better paint if you want to improve your game at all, RPS, GAP, or draxxus. You could be shooting molded lumps of clay with a 6,000 gun and the gun wont do ****. Buy good paint.

I use paint from walmart because I don't like to spend lots of money. Plus, I ball on a basis of a few times a week. I need paint that'll get me through the time. I'm just a bargainer. So check yourself before you reck yourself.
