Review:
Well, for my birthday I was gonna get a 98 custom. But when I saw the response and asked about this, then I realized that I needed a longer barrel and double trigger anyways, and this way was cheaper. So i got it.
Barrel: amazing! accurate and consistent, and with little sound.
Trigger: very nice, fast when you want it to be, and extremely effective in bursts.
Assemble and Disassembling: Was very difficult the first time, but when you figure out how all the parts fit together and READ THE MANUEL its as easy as pie.
Co2 attachment: quite useful it saves allot of irritation now that the co2 is under your shoulder, which I found increased my accuracy.
Conclusion:
Its perfect if your a noob like me. It saves money, and with the faster trigger and longer barrel you can dominate your friends, I did;)
So I give this a 10, for an effective and affordable paintball gun
(please rate and/or comment on my article so I know what you think)
/:here is an update after almost a year of using this gun: unfortunetly I have experience alot of problems with chopping paintballs, and now I just turn the trigger off while using it. I would not recommend this gun but recommend just a 98 if this wil be your first gun and your not that into speed ball.
and due to problems with ch oping I'm changing it to a 6, but if you are willing to buy a electronic hopper you would probally never have this problem
Rating:
6 out of 10

Dispute: I am disputing this review, because you clearly didn't use the product correctly. You can't give a great gun a 6 out of 10 because You're to cheap to buy a $15 upgrade to make it perform correctly. You should have seen this problem when you bought the marker. This is a great gun if used correctly and you cannot see that because you're to cheap to buy a necessary upgrade.
