Review:
I used this marker for the first time yesterday at 1st 2nd Strike at Waynes World of Paintball in Ocala FL. I loved it. Everyone was asking to hold or shoot it. Its an amazing marker for a scenario player.
The only real problems i had with it was every once in awhile on or two balls would get jammed in the barrel, but by simply pulling baqck the bolt action and firing the balls were cleared. This was also because of the co2, being in FL it heats up if left in the expansion chamber for to long, but an experinced player suggested that once the CO2 is off the gun the problem should subside.
Right now that all the bad is outta the way, this gun is FRIGGIN AWESOME!!! Everyone at the game wanted to hold, a few of the older guys said it looked like something outta a sci fi movie. the range is awesome its acurate at about 30-40 yds, i havent zeroed in the scope yet but once thats done im sure i could get a few one shot head shots with this bad boy. Great look, sounds great, not as loud as the A5 but pretty close. i think that has to do with the A5 being mostly metal.
Conclusion:
Get it, great price, great look, awesome sound, very intimidating.
yea thats true about the CO2 in FL, but we live here, so we deal with it. i just kinda tend to keep the gun in the shade and keep the bottle point ing up so excess gas doesn't get thorugh.
