I've fired some of my friends' Spyders and a few Tippmans.
Marker Setup:
Heh, I'm kinda new with Paintball, but along with my stock Avalon Combat I have a Smart Parts 14" Teardrop that improves my accuracy like hell :) A new hammer and springs would make this a great semi-auto
Recommended Upgrades:
With this gun, you definately need a new barrell, new bottomline cause the stock is leaky. My personal prefrence would be a drop forward with a stock. lol Even a new bolt would be nice. Possibly a delrin or nylon :D
Strengths:
Nice eye-candy. Read in my summary!
Weaknesses:
Stock barrel is crap, get a new one asap, leaky bottomline
Review:
I don't reallly know what to say, I mean, as I have already stated, this is a decent gun. Don't listen to the reviews that say that this gun is useless. The biggest thing is to get a new barrel. This gun has almost no plastic, weighing it down and making it cumbersome at first, but you'll get used to it. I this this gun is pretty cool as-is. I hope this gun lasts awhile, cause i am broke.
Conclusion:
A 50-50 gun that, with a little love and care, can beat the crap outta any Spyder and Tippman. Woo-Hoo!
So, it can blow the crap out of an A-5? If it can do more than 15 bps and never fail on you, then can you really modify it into a gun like the A-5a2? Or the A-5 Double Trouble Gatlin? No? Didn't think so.
