Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: C-98 WGP Boss rader spyders 02,03,04 verts Marker Setup: 05' Trillogy Comp. Worr Gas 50/3000 D.O.P. pro drop forward AVI macroline Halo tsa lcd frontman Shocktech Supafly bolt Dye Boomstick 14" Recommended Upgrades: drop forward nitro anything else you would do to a gun. Strengths: Closed bolt great use of gas. Weaknesses: Compact hinge frame (for some people) Review: OK i got the package from my local shop opened it up and.... instructional dvd (good only for new players) -cool barrel condom- nice saves me 4 bucks no hopper- kinda dissapointing even the custom 98 comes with a vl-200 14in stock barrel- better than a 12 nice (all cronos wereover 25 rounds) All right took it down to my field gassed it up with a 12oz shot 1200-1500 rounds through it to see how it was. No chops, double feeds, or breaks all day (sweet). shoot-down with o2 was expected but not as bad as I thought it would be chrono was +/- 16 (not bad for o2). Gun was very accurate (props to Bud Orr for the closed bolt design). So I swapped out the o2 for my worr gas 50/3000 first thing I noticed was a horrable inballence with the stock bottomline (my dop. pro drop fixed that check the pics for mine) anyhow with the nitro chrono gave my +/- 6 which is great for the stock reg. The nitro was way better than the o2 as is all autocockers. Update: After getting my new bolt and boomstick this thing kills on the accuracy 6" @ 50 yds and the cycle speed is greatly increased with the loss on that two pound (seems like) bolt. Update: CAUTION: I forgot to mention that this marker stays gassed up after tank removal i've had 3 shots left after tank removal so dont take it for granted that it's not able to shoot if its been degassed. Conclusion: I do reccomend this product for all players some people will downplay this gun saying that it is a cheap gun from wgp for cheap people that it is not is good as the other 'cockers. Well i think diffrently #1 they are all made from wgp a good company that will not put out a pos product. #2 all cockers are as good as eachother this one is no diffrent so you cant upgrade the 3-way oh-well if you have to upgrade a damn 3-way to feel competitive or have a 600-1000 dollar gun you have no reason to be playing its to have fun and gain skills not gear I can go out with astock class pump and cut the wings off angels why? Because I have taken the time to get my skills up. Anyhow this is a great cocker that can keep up with the rest of them it gets a 9/10 from me because its not perfect but since wgp's service is so great I give it a ten.

Pyromaniac42 Wednesday, December 6th, 2006 | 6:50 pm PST ohhh by the way Tippy he never compared an angel to this gun. he was just saying that it takes skill to be good, not gear. im a pump player and i can take out an angel any day =)
