| Review: |
with this pack on i allmost couldnt even move. i used it 2 times and then i said screw it and never used it agian. I guess if you want to stand in one place the whole time this is the pack for you but if you intend to move anywhere from 5 feet and up dont buy this pack. With all 8 pods and a 20 once on the back it wieghts about 20 pounds(not really but its heavy) so you really cant run at all. It will stick out of the side of a bunked too because the pods stick out to the sides. Not a good pack for speedball by any means. Dont try to bunker someone with this on. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This pack is too big, get one that has the pods placed better if you want to have better success. I will give it a 3 because it can hold a lot of paint and a tank. |

| Review: |
First of all, this pack was definitly not made for speedball. Its horizontal tube layout betrays that idea, but this pack is an excellent choice for rec-ball or scenario games. Depending on the size of the tubes carried you can hold 1160 using 145s, or 800 using 100s. The tank holder carries a 68 ci. N2 tank very well, even with a Dye cover on it. To fix the shoulder straps, I just bought those military padded LC2 Straps. This pack is definitly heavy when loaded, but if you don't mind the weight, I recomend it. I remember the days when Brass Eagle was on the forefront of technology, when the Stingray was the first mass available semi, and no-one complained. But in these days, no-one seems to remember that the Angel was developed by Brass Eagle. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a suitable pack for Rec or Scenario games, and I highly recommend it. |

| Review: |
I really hated this pack. It has poor construction and, when filled with pods, it is hard to crawl or stay concealed.
I was, however, able to carry an extra Co2 tank which saved my @$$ in a couple of speedball games.
I was shot in the pods so many times because I tried to hide behind bunkers that the pods stuck out of.
If you want to play 5-10 man tournament paintball, DO NOT BUY THIS PACK. I ran out during a 3-man tourny with my dinky Spyder Imagine.
Great for Rec-ball players during short games. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would heavily reccomend against buying this pack, save the extra $20 and buy the Redz 5&4 pack, that has an extra pod and is REALLY comfortable. |

| Review: |
who says brass eagle doesn't make good products. their harness is one of the most comfortable and affordable and good ball haulers i have ever used. when you have a extra tank put it in the tank pouch and it stays there and it wont fall out. and at the same time you got a reasonable amount of paint still on your back. if you got a coil GET THIS PACK IT WAS MENT FOR COIL USERS LIKE ME |
|
| Conclusion: |
buy it coil users and even if you arnt it hold alot of paint |

| Review: |
I know alot of people bash BE, and I'm not the biggest fan, but I got this at a diecent price back when I was the heavy arms guy for a senario/rec ball squad (Tipp 98 w/ RT and Flatline...no longer use because of weight issues) but I still use it for big long games and senarios. Since I'm a small player I did have to adjust it (5' 1" and 115 lbs, but hey, being small has it's advantages). This pack has got me through 3-4 senarios and countless games of rec ball. I do reccomend it espically if you have a gun that shoots alot of paint or if you want to be a hose player in a tourney, it carries the paint you need. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Explained it all above, so if you want to get something that doesn't stand out for rec ball, or something solid for tournaments, get this, it might be tough to find but it shouldn't cost too much cause it's BE. I really like it, but it does add some weight. |
