And what paint goes well with what gun (I'm looking at a eclipse etek5) .the ones I've seen that have good deals on are empire heat,formula 13,evil and it toxin what would you guys recommend ? Thanks Josh

The higher the grade of tournament paint the more fragile it is

The goal being to have the most gentle gun and most fragile paint so that the slightest hit breaks

In the woods overly fragile paint won't pass a blade of grass

Mechanical guns are traditionaly harder on paint then low pressure speedball guns

Training paint is the cheapest paint worth shooting

Winter paint is tougher to survive cold conditions

So it gets more fragile as it gets expensive?

So what's drawbacks of cheap paint in expensive guns?

It's less likely to break on hitting the opposition.

from an etek5 I wouldn't waste your time with Heat, the amount of bounces will be frustrating, formula 13 or evil should be fine through it.

What paint would be good for my TM15?
