20 oz. CO2 tank with expansion chamber.
New barrel, preferably the one I have.
If you have the kind of money for more significant upgrades, don't waste your money getting this gun to begin with. |

| Review: |
I originally purchased this marker from 888paintball for the low price of $70. I got it because tons of people had Tippmann 98Cs and I wanted something different, a little cheaper, but still reasonable. I wasn't disappointed at first because out-of-the-box, mine out performed theirs. However, the Tippmann has better reliability and is constructed better. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you want to be different from everyone running around with Tippmann 98 Customs, this isn't a bad gun to consider. However, cleaning up more than the barrel during a game is impossible and cleaning up fully afterward takes much more time.
If you have slightly more money [still $45 less than the cost of a Tippmann 98 Custom] and want something different, go for a Rebel 02 Electronic Bottomline. That thing has never had any problems, even after I dropped it in a stream. Definitely worth the extra $25 dollars. |
