Diablo.

Not really, for that price, get a 98 Custom. Much more robust.

For reliability, nothing beats a Tippmann.

However, the Mongoose II Reincarnation LCD is pretty fast, light and a good way to get a taste of tournament markers at a very low price. The newest versions run around $200. For the price, I think it's a decent marker for tourney style play at an entry level.

Does this newer version have a semi-auto lock?

That was the only thing keeping it from getting a perfect 10 in value in "What Paintball Gear" magazine last year...

I used to have a mongoose its pretty fast even bounces some times. The only thing is that with mine I had to get a new reg because when i first got it it was only shootin up to like 240. Also if you do decide to get this gun I suggest to use commpressed air not that you have to but i realized that c02 freezes the hammer in place at times. The gun is good for new entrys but just be sure to get an adjustable feed neck and a fast hopper
