Recommended
Upgrades: |
new barrel (i love my 12in teardrop), expansion chamber, motorized hopper |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
after getting a few upgrades(new barrel, x chamber, and motorized loader) this gun is great. the rebel is VERY easy to take apart (feild strippable). i like the thumb velocity adjuster. it isnt too loud. it is really light and seems pretty tough. with my teardrop i have real good accuracy. i also love this gun because of how easy it is to upgrade. this is a great beginner gun and also a nice gun for those who have been playing for a while and want to upgrade it. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
- can chop paint if u fire too fast(fixed with a motorized hopper)
- stock barrel isnt very accurate (also can be fixed)
Thats about it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
at first i didnt like it when it was all stock. after the upgrades i loved it. this gun is awsome for beginners and intermediates. very customizable. it wont let you down. if you want to get in the game for a cheap price BUY THE REBEL!!!!! |

Well, its a good gun and you do get your bang for you buck, but because of the absence of a longer barrel and an expansion chamber, it gets a nine. |

| Review: |
Not much more to say. It is a tank, I've put this thing through the most intense punishment I could, not even a glitch. My friends with spyders and cockers all laugh at me, [I'll get over it **sniff**]. While at the same time they're crying because there timing isn't right, or they can't fix there ever broken gun.
EDIT
Just the other day me and some friends were ballin' in a gravel pit. Just so everyone knows what this thing can take, here it is. First scrambling for cover I smashed this sucker on a rock, HARD. I figured it had to have broken something, no damage except scuffed anno. Then after getting my shoes nice and slippery with mud and water, I had one foot on a flat slanted rock, slipped and fell about 5 feet. I landed in about a half foot of mud. Again I smacked it on a rock but this time it was full of mud. A quick squeegee and it shot like new again. You can't break this thing! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Wonderful product. Don't let bad reviews scare you. I'm giving an 8/10 because of a few flaws, the best score I ever give is 9/10 |

| Review: |
After a few upgrades to the 32 Degrees Rebel 02 Bottom Line, it is a pretty good, all around gun. It has very consistant distance, it's pretty accurate, it's lightweight, all expected in a gun. But it chops balls like crazy, it's not the fastest gun, it has a long trigger pull, and it eats up CO2 like mad. But in the end it is a decent gun for the price and has lasted me a long time with my horrible care to it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall, I would recommend this gun to a beginner with very little experience because it is great for the price, it's not to complicted mecanically, and it shoots consistently and accurate. |

| Review: |
Alright this was my first gun and it's decent for the price. I used it for about a year and a half.
Barrel: Nobody under any circumstance should use the stock barrel on this gun, I quickly found this out after my first day. It breaks balls like crazy, and when it doesn't it couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. For god sakes get a decent barrel on ebay. (remember this gun fits spyder threads so wide selection)
Trigger frame: The trigger feels pretty cheap and the trigger pull is very long. This makes it very difficult to shoot fast. The grip is pretty good. One problem I had with my gun was that the safety sometimes didn't work, which usually isn't a problem if you're careful.
Bolt & the rest of the frame: The bolt chopped quite a bit of balls, but it's fairly cheap to replace (again, the main problem with ball breakage was the barrel). The top cocking bolt can be a distraction sometimes (again not a big problem), and I had a few problems with the gun not automatically re-cocking.The frame is fairly high quality and very durable. This gun is quite the gas hog, and it eats up O rings.
The bottomline setup is a nice option, but if you don't like it you can take it off.
I have not had any major problems with this gun, besides for one of the trigger frame screws coming loose fairly often (caused the gun to sputter) but I just got a new screw and tightened it up and it's worked ever since.
This gun has been pretty good to me after I changed the barrel, and after playing with it for two years I would say
|
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great gun for players new to the game, or intermediate players that have a low budget. This is by no means the best gun for its price though, and some people prefer the lower end spyders or tippmans. You get decent "bang for your buck"
The biggest thing for this gun is the skill of the user. If you're a decent player you can out perform guns a couple hundred dollars more expensive than you, and that pisses them off.
I would give this gun an 8 but you have to spend 30+ dollars for a new barrel |

| Review: |
Overall the gun is a great starter gun, and for the price is awesome for anyone. The gun is good stock, but great after upgrades. gun also looks great, and is light. easy to carry around all day during a game. Gun is easy to take apart and clean, and 32 degrees sells allot of aftermarket upgrades for gun, also can be improved. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall the gun is a great buy for a beginner, cheap and very durable. Easy to clean, take apart, shoot, evrything. GREAT GUN!!! After about $75 of upgrades the gun is awesome!!! It gets a nine because you have to buy the upgrades for it work at full potential. |

| Review: |
I bought this gun used for $50.00 for my dad to use. It worked fine for 6 months then it started leaking. No big deal I didn't expect much from a used Rebel. As of now it still leaks. My dad doesn't play much anymore so it doesn't matter. The trigger pull SUCKS. 32 Degrees could not have made it much worse. It is long heavy and sloppy. It shoots fairly accurate with the stock barrel but I suggest you get a new one if your planning on using this as a permanent gun, not a backup. There is no tourney lock. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It's OK I guess. There are better newbie guns out there so I would get something like a Tippmann or something so just get this if your broke. |

|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
-cheap...i got a used players pack for $50
-doesnt chop
-upgradeable
-easy to take care of
-easy to clean and take apart
-made by a well-known and fairly respected company
-comes in a variety of colors (i was cursed with a purple one)
-has a 1 year warranty
-easy to cock
-light...this is by far the lightest gun i have ever shot
-isnt a gas hog
-you can adjust the volocity really quick and easy
-has fairly decent range
-looks cool (itd be better if it were black or something) |
|
| Weaknesses: |
-long trigger pull....i can shoot twice as fast with my tippmann just because the trigger pull is really short
-i have a feeling the trigger frame will go bad and the sear will break since thats what kept happening with my piranha
-trigger doesnt fit my hand very well...with my other guns its very comfy but with this its just annoying
-i bought mine used and they took the bottomline off of it and the little metal part in the trigger frame shakes and you have to put it a certain way if you want to put an expansion chamber in and screw it in
-not very good for rec since it isnt all that rugged |
|
| Conclusion: |
great gun...i bought it for my dad and hes a newbie so its perfect for him. cheap, reliable gun...it has a 1 year warranty on it and so does my tippmann and this gun costs $50 or $60 less.............nothing has gone wrong with it but im waiting for something to so im giving it a 9.................. |
