I have never used a stock class marker before, ive only used a semi.
Marker Setup:
Vertical Stock Class Phantom-Black
14-inch barrel
14-count ammo tube
Electronic Sight
Everything else is stock
Recommended Upgrades:
Maybe an electronic sight, the gun just looks cooler with a big sight on it. The sight rail on it is fine though.
Also I am planning on buying a Telescope T-Stock 45 Grip for it, because for me the gun just dosen't feel right without something solid to rest your shoulder on.
Strengths:
Highly Accurate! Light Weight, Looks Great., Very durable
Weaknesses:
I have seen no weaknesses in the gun yet.
Review:
This is the most accurate marker I have ever seen, it is accurate to the dot every time. If you are able to view any body part of your opponent you will be able to hit him/her.(seriously)
This marker is extremely lightweight and versatile. Without a heavy CO2 canister on the end, it is able to be fired in any position.
This marker is also pretty easy to maintain and clean. With the unscrewing of a few screws it is easily disassembled and reassembled. I have never busted a ball in this marker.
The use of the 12g co2 is a really different experience. Once you get used to changing the co2, you'll really start to like it. One 12g co2 lasts about 14 shots accurately.
The only thing I had trouble with in the beginning, was having to pump after every shot, but you get used to it. Another big change after only using a semi, is that you only have a few rounds to use. You have to make most shots count, but with the insane accuracy of this marker it definitely isn't hard to do. I personally had to alter my game entirely to be effective on the field. I had to change from a "spray and pray" attitude to a stalking sniper. This gun has made me a better player.
With its slow rate of fire you can't slug it out with an automag, but you can definitely pick him off from a distance. This gun is also relatively quiet.
Great Economy....maybe use 100 balls of allday play, with about ten 9g co2's
Maybe a little pricey, but its worth every cent.
This gun is the perfect sniper's gun!!!!! Soooo accurate.
Conclusion:
This gun is THE most accurate gun I have ever seen used!
I haven't had one problem after getting used to the marker.
There is no better stock class marker out there. If you want firepower don't get this gun,but if you like a combined accuracy, with durability, and dependability you'll love this gun.

okay i have heard as the lowest reasonable count being 20 shots with a brand new phantom... but 14 is waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy off... mine shot 30 good and 5 okay brand new stock... now i have it shooting 50 good shots and 5 plunkers... but there is absolutley no way you only get 14 shots unless you have a leak on aire
