I got the gun 2 weeks after it was announced. I took it right out of the bag and the on the chrono, it shot wonders...put in on NXL full auto 25BPS with crappy walmart paint at 285FPS and it shot ropes...i never broke one ball and have shot so far about 3 cases of walmart paint to help break it in and not one break yet. The barrel is a stock .690 bore, and so far, the barrel hasnt failed. All this gun needs is to be virtued and itll take ANY ego of any year out, no lie.
Conclusion:
I would reccommend the gun because it is CHEAP and it is better than most high end guns ive shot/witnessed!!!
