The BE marauder CAN be useful!

I've been bugging my friend to get a decent paintgun for a long, long time. He's finally gotten one, so he let me dissect the marauder.
Before I disassembled it into scrap I fired about 100 shots of fresh, thick shelled paint. On average, every third shot broke. After the 40th time I squeegeed the barrel I decided to just leave it off.

The gun works better without a barrel.

Wow, It went from a marker unworthy of even the most jejune of newbies to a marker worthy of only the most jejune of newbies.
I turned the velocity way down and we did a CQB game. 'Twas great fun. The lack of a barrel meant a very fast target aquisition and no warning when sweeping corners.

If you have a BE gun, take off the barrel and try it that way. It will, at the very least, save you the trouble of squeegeing. Once again, Brass eagle proves itself incapable of creating a decent paint marker after their original lineup.

Noticed that to when my marauder was working, shot straighter without a barrel and no breaks.
Still loud though.

OMG... it does chop a ton.. my friend was asking me for my squegee every game, and every 5 mins it seemed... finally i told him to go buy his own. lol.

Then he decided to put on his 20" "Sniper" barrel with no porting. The velocity wouldnt go above 120.. lmao , but then again it didn't chop anymore :eyes:

Lol, what do you expect from a $40 gun w/o a decent barrel :rolleyes:

[Gothmog]

$40?! It's that expensive:confuse: :eek: :confuse:

[slikna99]

Actually, the players kit... which is the only way i know of being able to get it... cost about 85-90 at walmart... see the rip...

Amazing how BE can even make money. $90 will get you a spyder compact, which will work, or a BE, which wont.
