Recommended Upgrades:
i dont think you could throw enough money in this to make yourself happy with it.
Strengths:
all right here it goes...
the grip is comfy and the trigger pull is short
it looks ok...
the expansion chamber works... kinda
eh thas all, and i am being generous.
Weaknesses:
the overall quality of this thing is ridiculously cheap. someone else said its solid? i dont think so pal, if you take mine and shake it you can hear the bolt jingling around. i have the one with the vertical feed, not the side vert fed, and the welding used to mount the vert feed on the gun is hideous. the sight rail moves from the gun firing... its not noticable until the endof the day when you notice that the thing worked its way up to the vert feed all on its own. the trigger frame is cheap looking and plastic. it leaks when you first put the tank on, but once you fire it a cople of times, it USUALLY stops... i dont care if it stops, i shouldnt even happen. this thing is a blender... chops the hell out of any paint. if you even think about rapid firing it will chop balls just at the thought. seriously its ridculous, you cant even compete during rapid fire. double, triple, and yes sometime QUADRUPAL feeds. the ball detent is useless... if you tilt your gun down balls just roll on out of the barrel. i cant stress how much this thing chops paint... sometimes the paint gets all jammed up and it wont recock, or it busts somuch paint tht you hopper fills with paint, rendering the rest of your paint useless.
Conclusion:
i have taken good care of his gun andits spit in my face for it... over andover again. i dont wanna hear anything like, "you probly dont take care of it" i cleaned and oiled it after every use. its just a piece of garbage. i honestly think 32 degrees should be ashamed of themselves. msrp for this gun is 190 bucks... i got mine about 6 months ago for 125 and i still feel ripped off. i hope the new 2002 have improved, however i will never trust anything 32 degrees makes again. if you like the rebels, just get a spyder. youll thank me. my friend bought the le the same time i did and his is no better. i wrote this review to save anyone from buying this junk. i too usted this site, this thing had a review of 9.3 when i bought it. i gie it a 1
