| Review: |
The core hammerhead is a great backup or a first gun.
It is cheap i got mine for $60
the stock barrel is good but it is always good to upgrade it
it is better than my friends spyder victor
uses spyder parts so VARY upgradeable
and it is easy to clean |
|
| Conclusion: |
If your a "newbe" or you just want a backup gun this is it:
Cheap,
shoots will,
and a great gun to upgrade |

| Review: |
I started out w/ this and i must say it got me through some tough times. i got mine cheap in a package and the only modification i need to do was getta better barrel for now. cleans easily and it doesnt like brass eagle paint. thats the only kind thats busted so far in my gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
it has good feeling and its nice in the long run just remember to get a good barrel. |

Upgrades: |
Barrel |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Very reasonable price. Better value than the Walmart stuff that I previously tried. Purchased 3 guns through Paintball-Online (red, green, blue) NOTE: all had the same multi-venturi bolt.
Very little chop so far. Seems to like the PMI paint.
Accuracy is so-so...I expect to do a modest barrel upgrade.
Good value for the money, fairly robust construction.
Easy to field strip & clean. Decent manufacturing tolerances in the bolt assembly and receiver. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The barrel certainly could be better.
Remote air supply would be helpful. (better for drop-forward)
Loud (however I don't have a lot to compare it to, it IS much quieter than my Glock 30 :) ) |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good value for a starter gun. Solid construction and Spyder barrel interchangability. With a modest budget, this can be upgraded to be a useful tool.
Rating based upon my expectations of this gun as a entry-level tool, not against substantially more expensive equipment. |

|
| Marker Setup: |
Green Core Hammerhead, 14" CMI Barrel, SystemX stickies, 12v Revy. |
|
Recommended
Upgrades: |
New barrel, new grips (If you get green or red), electronic hopper as this marker has a tendency to chop balls, expansion chamber/bottomline and/or remote. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
It is fairly consistent, and when I got an electro hopper, it does not chop paint. The stock barrel is not too hot, but it works. Note that the different colors have different components. The Silver/Blue have a quazzi-venturi bolt, where the green and red have a standard 1 hole bolt. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Standard grip panels can get a bit unconfortable, will chop paint without electro hopper when doing a high ROF. The stock barrel is not all that good. Pretty much a metal tube. |
|
| Conclusion: |
A great gun for those on a budget. But if you really want to have fun, you will have to put some money into it. If you are not looking to have to buy an electronic hopper, I would get a gun with a powerfeed such as a Spyder Classic or a CORE Tigersharc/sharc. |

the way paintball-online gave to me but with a 20 oz co2 bottle |
|
Recommended
Upgrades: |
20 oz co2 bottle |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
1) it looks cool, i have green
2) really powerful, not even at full power i had 340 fps
3) accurate, I shot a guy through the woods that was about 90 ft away
|
|
| Weaknesses: |
1) It goes through gas fairly quick, but it doesnt cost that much to refill the co2
2) thats all! |
|
| Conclusion: |
i might be new to paintball, but i know this is a good gun, even some guy behind me said wow thats a nice gun, The only thing really wrong with it is the gas problem,, If youve got a short budget this is the gun to get THIS IS THE GUN TO GET
But if youve got over 1,000$ buy an angel |

Upgrades: |

|
| Strengths: |
accurate,powerful,looks good,does not use too much co2, good price for the
package
|
|
| Weaknesses: |
1.Breaks a few paintballs when using cheap paint.(Brass eagle)
2.hard to take apart
|
|
| Conclusion: |
When I received my package, I was supposed to get allen wrenches and other spare parts, I did not receive these items. I also did not receive the proper color of gun that I ordered, however the color I got was better than the color I originally chose. Also, when I first got my co2 tank filled [9oz] it exploded in the car, and the man that filled it said it was defective and dangerous. Other than that I have had no problems with the gun. I recommend this gun for both beginners and professionals. If you have never owned a paintball gun before I highly recommend this marker. |

Its a very nice gun for the price, if you have more i suggest the Tiger Sharc or the Sharc just because VTL arent always the best, but for a beginner as me, its a AWESOME gun. definately worth the money. |

| Strengths: |
Very impressed with this marker. When shooting with crappy paint balls this marker performed great. Only ball breakage was due to the paint balls (we bought Brass Eagle from Walmart, 90%% of the balls had dimples!!!), so we bought good paint and not one broke. Very acurate and reliable.
Barrel is incredibly light, I thought it was plastic a first.
The action is smooth.
Bought this gun as a player pack.
Goggles are awsome, the FOV and comfort are awsome. The mask is ok, I prefer harder plastic, and the design/look is medeocre, but it did its job. The lenses fogged up a little, but he was wearing them on his forhead between games letting moisture get into the pad and goggle area. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Only concern is getting parts (i.e. springs), only cause I'm new to this product. |
|
| Conclusion: |
As a player pack, for the money this can't be beat. The person I bought this for absolutely loves it! He had a great time cause everything performed better than expected. If your a newbie I would highly recommend this.
