Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: Spyder Victor ll Tippmann Pro-Carbine Tippmann 98 Custom/Model 98 Tippmann A-5 Pirahna R-6 mechanical Marker Setup: Spyder Victor II, E-Frame trigger, Bandit Victor bolt, Twisted Paintball volumizer, web drop forward, VL Revolution 12volt hopper with X-Board, 12" J&J Ceramic Recommended Upgrades: Electronic Hopper (I recommend a Richoet Apache) New Barrel (12-14" J&J Ceramic will work wonders) Rocket Cock (to keep everything inside nice and clean) Strengths: Speed Reliability Upgrades Price Factory Polished Internals 5 firing modes Light trigger pull Weaknesses: Long Spot where the adjustment screw is, is hard to reach Review: So here it is, Tippmanns answer to speedball/hyperball and the like. I feel that it is a solid marker with Tippmanns trademark durability. An electric hopper is a must because if you have it on auto-response you will reach the 15 bps with one finger and if your hopper can't keep up you will chop. 3 shot is what it is. Semi has a new feature that I like too, if you shot over 5 bps on semi, it will switch to auto-response. This CAN be turned off however. Also full auto is as usual 10 bps strong. This marker also has polished internals straight from the factory, which is good. One thing i didn't like however is the fact that the adjustment screw is in such a hard to reach place, right below the trigger. but only a minor inconvience. Conclusion: Overall i have to recommend this to any one who either likes Tippmanns, or is in the market for a good electronic marker but doesn't wank to spend $500 plus for it. Plus it's made by Tippmann, so you know it'll last. Rating: 9 out of 10 Last edited on Saturday, April 30th, 2005 at 2:07 pm PST
