Review:
The PMI Piranha USP is an outstanding paintball pistol for the money. I purchased mine from ANSgear.com for less then $60. I was in the market for a new side arm and did a lot of reserch on one. I watched videos on the Tippmann TPX, Tiberius Arms Tac 8, and the PMI USP. After watching the one of the USP I was instantly sold on it. It was half the price as other pistols and it has many nice features on it as well.
The first time I used this pistol in combat it more then met my expectations! I got the drop on an a player on the other team and let loose with my Pro-Lite. After a firing half a dozen shots my Pro-Lite sputtered and died. My adversary heard my tank die and I heard him laugh as he mistakenly thought he had an easy kill. A split second later I saw him charge through the brush and sprint twards me firing his Tippmann A-5. Little did he know that it was acually me who was lying in wait for him. Once he was with in 50ft of me I poped out like the bunker like Billy Badass and unloaded 10 well placed shot on him. Needless to say he was taken by surprise.
Since then I have used this marker many many times and it has never let me down. I have even used it as my primary marker on some games when I feel the need to be stealthy, fast, mobile, or just want to conserve paint.
Conclusion:
If you are in the market for a side arm and do not want to drop a lot of money on a high end gun consider on of these. In my personal opinion this is a really well made and well functioning marker. I own a Splatmaster, PGP, Tac 8, and one of these & it is my side arm of choice.
