Review:
I have not used it that much yet because I just bought it. The reason I bought this is that the A5 is great for woodsball, however, I wanted a faster firing, more nimble marker, that had some of the same qualities ( low or no chops, durable, easily maintained) that the A5 has, for playing speed ball. So far this thing really rocks. I have only fired about 3000 rounds through it, however, they were as fast as I could shoot. NO CHOPS! Not bad. Accuracy was not bad even with the stock barrel. It did lack the distance that a flatline provides but was no where near as picky with regard to paint. So far I really like it, and would have to say, it is well worth the money. I still can't get over the fact that I shot as much, and as fast as I did, with no chops. ACS must really work.
Addendum 1/12/05. About another 6000 shots through it and it just does not chop.....Maybe a total of 4 in the 6000 I shot. About 3 of those were when I somehow forgot to turn my hopper on and out shot gravity........Really impressed with this thing. Have not used the A5 since I got this. Even for Woodsball
Conclusion:
Buy this Gun! It is very reasonably priced and really performs! I will update this after I use it a little more but so far this performs very similarly to my son's E99 Avant and that gun has been very durable.

I just got mine in the mail. I want to know what paint you were using because I chop alot of balls. I've got a evolution ll loader also. Is there something wrong with my bolt?

ilikebunkers: Maybe something wrong with your bolt I used all kinds of paint.......That is one of the things I liked about this gun.....Not very choosy when it comes to paint. Spencer has a good suggestion, when I did chop it was because I forgot to turn my hopper on. It will chop if you gravity feed and shoot fast.
Crazy Nut: You crazy nut, read the report, all I do is compare it to the A5. That's what people want to read about in these reports, "comparisons and opinions". if you don't like it don't read it!
