| Strengths: |
-Sturdy, it trully is built like a rock (can take a lot of abuse)
-Reliable, I have never (underline never) missed a game because it has gone down
-Easy on parts, Yes I have a notorious early '99 marker and yet she still on the original internals. The trigger assembly worked great (no sear problems, ever) and it still has the original cup seal!
-7 BPS: It can do seven, it's a blowback semi, the majority of users are poor newbies, why would they need more?
-Valve: Never freezes over, perfect for cold weather play (I can freeze over a tank but the gun will still want to run)
-Design: Totally enclosed body, no foreign contamination, cocking system is one of a kind
-Barrels: Uses F4/Griffin and Tippmann Prolite/ProCarbine barresl (not to hard to find) |
|
| Weaknesses: |
-Trigger pull is heavy, some players have "bankers hands" and don't know how to handle it
-Clicking problem: If you know older F4s you'll know that the earlier '99s had a problem. If the trigger mechanism was over oiled or had a little bit of grime in there it had a problem resetting itself, it's easily fixed by cleaning the mechanism.
-Trigger shoe: Falls off on older models, most people who did their homework new to locktite it before playing with it.
-Low number of aftermarket accessories: Hehehe don't need 'em anyways |
|
| Conclusion: |
Designed as a low cost low end blowback semi automatic marker. You can pull it out of the box, cock it, screw in a tank and rock 'n roll. ACI did it right when they took over this line of markers.
I give it a ten, it is the best blowback semi out there. Period. |
