Direct Effect

Direct Effect is excited to announce that we have signed with XO Industries as our 2007 Paint Sponsor. The team will be shooting exclusively X.O. Industries Menace and Vein paint for the 2007 nppl season.

Relatively new to the US market are Vein Paintballs from XO Industries. A Canadian company, XO is owned and founded by Aldo Perrone. While many in the sport of paintball don’t recognize that name, Perrone was well known in the late 1980s, and has made some major contributions to the growth of the sport, while maintaining a relatively low profile. Perrone founded the Canadian company Brass Eagle, producing the Nighmare pump action paintguns in the 1980s, and was instrumental in the founding of Zap paintballs. Through Brass Eagle, Perrone also introduced paintball’s first semi-automatic paintball gun with an under $200 price tag, the Stingray, before selling the company to world renowned airgun manufacturer Daisy.

The paint XO produces is now distributed through Florida, Illinois, South Carolina and New Jersey.
