Ok I have a Tracer pump with a Chameleon kit.... heres the good and the bad
GOOD ROF increased..... holds more newbie potential. IS the most compact marker I have ever shot (I have a 6" barrel) snap shots are right there..... the stock barrel is good to great. works on Pneumatic ram and switch. quick(down side though)
BAD finicky *** trigger... It will fire as smooth as a cocker and as quick, but it is by far the easiest trigger to short stroke. Its kind of of a hard trigger pull, but like a mag RT it has a sweet spot..... I out shot my normal hopper with no problem.
SHORT STROKE.... even though I'm not completely used to the trigger yet, the switch has a easy beginning stroke, but it then clicks and the pull gets heavy, like heavy enough to be an original F2. I always think this is the end of the stroke... and the gun cocks about 1/8 inch, and pinches a ****ing ball.
Cleaning..... MY GOD THIS IS FRICKEN HARD!
the gun after it half cocks blows a shot of air into the gun.... launching all the broken paint. INTO MY FRICKIN FULL HOPPER.....
180 paintballs wasted.
The kit has absurd kick.. the hole ram/switch unit pulsates when the gun is fired..... making strings a little more inaccurate...
the kit is in the way for left hand firing....
the kit is bulky and causes me to fire wrong due to hand position.
the grip is still fricking plastic.
CONCLUSION
it is a pretty good newbie gun.... I need to improvise the plans.... get the kit to stop pulsating, and learn the trigger.... the gun will be as good as a high end spider.
