| Review: |
PRICE- I got this on sale at actionvillage.com for $50. It is a very good gun for the price.
FEEL- I personally don't like the feel of the gun but i have heard other people like it. It needs a foregrip. The tank also gets in your way and is very annoying. I suggest a drop foward.
DURABILITY- This gun is very durable. I lost count of how many times it has got shot, dropped, or mishandled by stupid friends. When i first got the gun i didn't know you had to oil it and I had a huge leak.(out of EVERY place possible)
SPEED- The speed is advertised at 10+ bps. The trigger is very hard to walk and i cant get over 10bps. Overall that's pretty fast for a low-end mechanical.
ACCURACY- The stock barrel is not to good. 8 or 9 inches not much. I highly recommend a new barrel.
SOUND- Another reason why you would need a new barrel. It is really loud when firing.
LOOKS- I like the look of this gun. It has a nice,durable body with nice milling.
BALL CHOPPAGE- I have chopped about 8 balls out of 10, 000 paintball and they were all walmart brand paint.

| Conclusion: |
I've had a couple problems here and there but if your looking for a cheap starter gun, the Piranha R6 is a definite YES. |
