The 9 Best Paintballs | Top 10 Kids Toys

This review has been updated 19 times since it was first published in January of 2017. When playing a game of paintball, it’s important that you leave your mark — literally. We set out to determine which ammunition gives you the best bang for your buck, considering how straight each company’s offerings fly and how reliably they shatter on impact. We also factored in caliber, cost, and biodegradability. But no matter your ultimate choice, don’t forget your protective safety gear. When users buy our independently chosen editorial recommendations, we may earn commissions to help fund the Review.

Top 10 Algae Scrapers

9. Tiberius Arms First Strike

You’ll probably want the conversion kit if your gun is not already built for these, but for the improved accuracy, the Tiberius Arms First Strike (about $85) may be worth it. Each has a stabilizing fin and a polystyrene shell that stands up to humidity.

8. JT Toxin

The JT Toxin (appx. $55) are designed to deliver a consistent performance, no matter the weather conditions, including in very cold temperatures. And thanks to their blazing yellow fill, you shouldn’t have any problems at all with marking visibility.

8. Magneto Free-Style

Kicktails at both ends of the deck are what make the Magneto Free-Style a suitable choice not only for commuting, but for performing tricks. It also has a textured surface so you can maintain your balance whether you’re wearing shoes, flip flops, or skating barefoot.

7. Rap4 Black

To be clear, the Rap4 Black (about $20) are not, in fact, paintballs at all, as they are spheres of rubber. But they are sized to fit a standard .68-caliber gun and are great for training and target practice, leaving no mess behind. Plus, they’re reusable.

6. Venom Mixed

The diminutive, but durable, .40-caliber Venom Mixed (around $7) were made not for your marker, but rather to be fired out of one of the company’s blowguns or a slingshot. Their small diameter helps them zip through the air accurately.

5. Predator Splatballs

For those with .50-caliber guns, these Predator Splatballs (around $20) may be just the ticket. They’re bright blue, but completely water soluble, so cleanup shouldn’t be too much of a hassle, whether you’re washing your skin or your clothing.

4. Empire Marballizer

The Empire Marballizer (appx. $70) are of a higher quality than many other options, breaking reliably on impact, but not cracking while in the hopper or the barrel. A popular choice for tournaments, they sport a distinct exterior and a standard .68-caliber size.

3. Valken Infinity

If you take your game seriously, then you might make the investment in this 2,000-count case of Valken Infinity (about $39) and enter the next match sure that your hopper will never run dry. Their thick shells help prevent breakage in the marker.

2. Wrek Elite Premium

If you’re heading out on a warm, sunny day, you won’t have to worry about these Wrek Elite Premium (around $33), as they can stand up to the weather. They feature a dual-colored exterior and a biodegradable filling that washes away relatively easily.

1. Valken Graffiti

Reliably consistent sizing and smooth shells make the Valken Graffiti (around $60) an excellent choice for just about all scenarios. They’re made with polyethylene glycol, so you don’t have to worry about the environment or accidentally getting a small amount in your mouth.
