Review:
I got a paintball gun a couple years ago and never really used it until my friend had a paintball party. Then i was hooked and after a few rounds i wanted to upgrade. I began shopping and i found this stylish, fast gun, which was recommended for beginners. I bought it and received it last week and couldn't wait to shoot it. I fired right out of the box and it shot like a dream. no mechanical issues to speak of at all.
My only complaints are that it shoots louder then my tippman with a 14 inch PMI razor with its stock barrel, and the pressure gauge came scratched as if it was used before. none of that worried me though because they could be fixed.
The feedneck as is works great, and when tightened down, the loader doesn't move. However a clamping feedneck would be nice.
Also the battery life isn't awesome. but it works. A 10 hour charge holds for about 3-4 hours.
Conclusion:
its a great gun for a second gun. A little expensive for a gateway gun, but its an excellent great shooting marker right out of the box. I strongly recommend this marker. I say 9, because there are better guns out there (for more $)
