Review:
Well, I just played at Blackrain Paintball with my new Toro and I loved it. It performed very well without chopping a single ball! I took some long snipe shots and too my suprise, I hit the enemy players. This gun has very good accuracy. It's very light, well balanced, and has a nice trigger(It just feels right for me). It even comes with a pretty decent stock barrel. Overall this gun rock and beats spyders and tippmanns. Even though I'll update this review as time goes on as I'm not really sure how good this gun's endurance is.
Conclusion:
The Toro is pretty much a better version of the Spyder. It feels much lighter, has a better trigger, and has a better stock barrel. As far as endurance goes I'm not sure but I'm glad I bought the Toro and not a spyder or a tippmann. Besides, I like not being like everybody else. Final rating, 9.
Pretty good review. For a player of 3 months experience you put up a better post than some of these "vets" that used the toro. Blowback as a weakness? What else did he expect from a low end mech marker? anyway good job.
