Review:
ok this gun sux majorly
THE GOOD-
looks sorta good, nice shiny colors
THE BAD-
Barrel- sucks so much, it is inaccurate, breaks balls and the balls don't go far
Sight- Why do they even bother putting a sight on this thing!? The gun's vertical feed neck is in the way so you cant see what you aim at. U Cant even take the feed neck off to swap with a better one
Ice- frozen co2 comes out when shot. That gives it horrible accuracy and velocity consistency. to fix this get an expansion chamber (or a better gun)
Cocking- it un cocks itself every 5-10 shots. the cocker it very stiff and hard to recock
Feeding- The balls dont feed well through this gun. No, it is not the hopper. every few shots you have to shake it really hard to get it feeding (unless u had an electronic loader, then it would break balls)
Handle- since ther is relly no front handle besides that tiny thing in front, the tank makes the gun lean back and hard to hold
De-gassing- when you try to de-gas it seems to work until u fully unscrew the tank, then co2 sprays out and kills your o-ring
loud- this is the loudest gun on the face of the planet. it may even be louder than my .22 rifle. it hurts my ears
Conclusion:
this is one of the worst guns ever. i give it a 2 for its looks and that no gun deserves a 1(except for the Black Maxx)
ok, your review is very unjust. Under weaknesses, you put sight, because of a vertical feed? any experienced paintball looks down the sides of the gun's barrel to aim. Also, ice? your using co2 on a gun with no xchamber! hard to recock? did you check your velocity? Feeding? it has a vert feed, that means balls drop straight down into the chamber, check your cheap crappy pmi 200 hopper. De gassing? do you even know to dry-fire when taking out your tank? last, instead of handle, say no foregrip, because the "handle" is the trigger grip frame. As far as barrel, its decent, check your paint (prob using zap rec series) your paint could be bad quality(zap, BE) or be old. The barrel is innacurate, yes, but dont get mad at the gun because your unexperienced and dont know what your talking about. my review on your review = n00b
