From past experience valken does a lot of "rebranding"
Iv checked out these bb's and put them side by side with other brands. They seem to be exactly the same as G&G brand bb's
They shoot pretty dam good too. Best part is purchasing them by case.

Laser Dot OEMs for Valken. Laser Dot is also much cheaper than Valken. Why purchase a rebranded, more expensive brand when you can get the original brand for much cheaper?

Valken is famous throughout the paintball community for dishonestly "borrowing" patented products from another company, changing it just enough to avoid a lawsuit, and then reselling it for a lower price. On this fact alone, I am inclined to avoid Valken BBs.

Other then the valken sw1 where are you getting this info?

In fact they approach a company, ask to put their label on that companys product in trade with constantly moving their product. Original company is now moving more product and sales while valken tosses their name on said product and makes money on it. Everybody wins

What companies did they borrow the patents from? I didn't know you could borrow a patent.

They just stole it and change the product enough to not have a lawsuit (not sure my grammar is ok)

Had the .28 consistently chop and misfeed in PTW. I tried some of the .32, and they flew ok when they didnt chop. It's not the fault of the gun, it's the BB, they are not as hard and the finish isnt as nice as others.

IMO avoid if you run a PTW/Katana

If the product is very different from the patented one, then the patent does not cover it.

Exactly what products did they change?

I have been having the same issue as Joe here, chopping and misfeeds like crazy in my PTW as well. I will not be buying another bottle of these, and likely won't be finishing this bottle either. Disappointing really since this bottle is barely even 2 months old.
