Review:
This is my first electronic gun and I can say I am very pleased. It feels good in your hands and is fairly light. It shoots fast enough at 17 bps which is all you need I think. Also, it has a output pressure gauge on the gun which is useful. Some people say it looks like plastic, BUT it is not plastic, it actually feels somewhat rubbery. My only issues with this gun is that the trigger does sway a bit and it can be hard to walk it at a fast pace for a long period of time due to this. Also, they still haven't implemented a way to change firing modes without taking off the trigger frame, which is a hassle. All in all, this is a great buy and good for an novice paintball player who wants a cheap decent performing electronic gun.
Conclusion:
I recommend this gun fully to anyone who is interested in a cheap light electropneumotic (sp?) marker.
