Stock barrel is great, but a cci nickel plated barrel is a good cheap upgrade
Strengths:
Incredible accuracy, low profile, light weight, no more getting hit in gun!

none, except some people might have trouble aiming with stock sight rail
Review:
When i first got my phantom all of my friends laughed at me for buying a pump gun, but they had no idea what they were in for. The first couple games i caused complete chaos with my phantom. Stalking my friends one by one, and eliminating them. No one on the other team was safe. After some woods ball i took the phantom out for a couple games of speedball and i was snap shooting like no tommorow. I was even bunkering some kids who had electronic spyders. This gun was definantly worth it, my one friend who used to make fun of me and my phantom never makes fun of me anymore.
Conclusion:
This is one of the best pump guns made today. Its design is tried and true and will never fail you.
