| Review: |
This marker is the best I've used so far. *It can chop though, if you use an Avalon Spin Loader and the bent elbow hopper adapter. But if you use the elbow the Pilot comes with it works fine. I've played at 2 paintball wars with the Pilot, and because of it, I was the star of the wars. It simply out preformed every other gun there (the other guns didn't cost more than 250 though). Its combined excellent accuracy, ACS system, and perfect reliability make this gun my all-time favorite. I have run 4000 paintballs through the Pilot, and haven't had 1 break. I have never had the Pilot to stop working, shoot out the CO2, or have a break in the parts, and i have put it through good use. If you buy this gun online, it usually doesn't cost more than 250, the price on this site just isn't right. The only thing I don't like, are the grips. They seem like cheap rubber and are flimsy, although I haven't had much of a problem with them, I just don't like the feel. The adjustable trigger is awesome, you can get it just the way you like it. Make sure to tighten the CO2 line and the drop forward screws before you use it, they were kind of loose out of the box. |

| Conclusion: |
This is an excellent marker, for a beginner, or an experienced player |
