Be very careful of who you do business with on-line. Here is the letter I sent to them about the Ariakon Pistol I bought from "PaintballPat.Com"
I would not do business with this gentleman no matter how good of a deal they claim to have.

Dear Sir, June 27, 2005
On or about the beginning of June of this year, I purchased an Ariakon Overlord with a holster from you. I received the order in the mail in a U.S. postal box. Upon opening the U.S. Postal box I found the gun in the holster in a plastic bag, not in the box the manufacturer said they ship the guns to you in. I thought this to be strange. I test fired the gun several times on the 8th & 9th of June and found an immediate problem. I E-mail you and was told no refunds all work repair work was to go through the manufacturer. I did not want it repaired I wanted it return for refund! I called and sent to gun in to Ariakon and got it back on June 24th. After talking to them this morning some very strange things came to light. First they stated that they send out all their guns in a manufacturers box though it is not factory sealed. I did not get my gun in the factory box, strange! Second, after the repair, they stated that the “Valve Retaining Pin” was gone and that the only way to get it out was to press it out. I asked was it possible for them to just fall out. There answer was NO! Now this was what Ariakon told me. I never removed this item from the gun. The “Overlord” pistol that came in the mail from you malfunctioned from the first day.
After talking with the Ariakon reps we both thought it was strange that this happen the way it did. I “feel” as though you sent me out a pistol that was sent back to you, and you pawned it off as new. Since I found little or not help from you or your company and that fact that the item (gun) did not come in it’s original box and that the gun had a part missing before it arrived to me, I have filed a formal complaint with Ariakon against your company. I will also be posting my resulting on 4 or 5 of the regular Scenario Web pages through out the country in regards to your handling of the situation.

Here's the Reply I got today:
"What would I stand to gain from sending you a malfunctioning product? I have no need to ‘pawn’ anything off.
Please don’t email me or place any more orders with my company. I work too hard to be insulted in this manner."
I simply state that I feel as though I was not treated fair I am insulting him strange.
I would not do business with this gentleman no matter how good of a deal they claim to have.
