This is a great gun for a beginner. I just started playing and i went out for a decent durable gun. I have always used rentals and a friend bought one these tippmans i borrowed it one round and i thought it was great. so i bought one. In stock form i will agree the gun isnt as good as some. Add a about $400 in options and this gun is awesome. We went out to play and got stuck playing against what people were calling "Pros" there were 5 of us and 6 of them 4 of us had tippmans with some heavy upgrades 2 flatlines and two boomsticks i have the response trigger and and the proteam car-15 stock my tippman looks like a Car-15 assault rifle the pros were all laughing as to how quick this round was going to be they all had Angels. Boy were they surprised from about 100 yards i picked off two of there front men in the first 2 minutes and the rest of there team went down in about 10 GO TIPPMAN
Weaknesses:
The price Stock the gun is kinda cheesey to make it competitive you need to spend some bucks but in the end if you put every optin into it is just as good as any angel for about 1/3 of the price. Just remember its not the gun its the person using it but the Tippy helps
