| Review: |
This gun can work great if you just take care of it. My vertical feed broke off the gun really easily but its not too hard to fix. If you expect this gun to perform like an angel or a smart parts gun then dont buy it. The gun works great for how cheap it is. Just remember TAKE CARE OF IT. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this gun if you have a low budget and just wanna have some fun shooting around. |

| Strengths: |
Not many. It has Spyder threads, so barrel replacement is easy. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Extremely unaccurate, chops balls horribly |
|
| Review: |
All in all, i'd say this gun is nothing more than eye candy. Its accurate to about fifteen feet, after that the balls have a mind of their own. Plus i broke 1 out of 3, thats a 30% break ratio. The gun is overpriced for its lack of usability. Haven't found many upgrades for it either. The only good thing is that it has Spyder Threads, so that replacing the barrel is easier. I replaced the stock barrel with a Spyder stock barrel, and found the breakage reduced to maybe 1 out of 8 or 9. Better, but still not real good for a game. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't buy it. It may be nice to look at, but that means nothing on the field. Go get either a Spyder Victor or a VL Orion, they're cheaper and far better than this gun. |

| Review: |
I'd have to say that this beast is an okay beginner marker. Once you have this gun for about 3 months, and you have excelled in the sport, you'll be lookin' for a way better electro marker. Don't waste money on upgrades and stuff like that, just get a whole new complete. Moving from this bad-boy to a Piranha is a fairly good decision. I know I did, and things have sure lightened up. Gun may/will have problems with it that you just have to deal with. Not a very good gun that will make you very frustrated playing with friends when you gotta sit out |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you're just startin' out, this gun is a maybe, try some other guns like the Spyders, they tend to have better quality. Overall though, meh- take it 'er leave it, you're choice. |

| Review: |
I got this gun for free (a friend found it at a tournament, I don't know why someone had it at a tournament, but I can only wonder...) I took it out for a test spin. When I put on the CO2, it sprayed out of the cracks in the grip. Then I uncocked the gun, and it didn't leak any more. I shot some balls at a target about 15 feet away. They were pretty much hit or miss. I guess more hit it than didn't, but I chopped about 5% of the balls (at least they weren't in the breech). The barrel has the most threads I've ever seen (It isn't compatable with Spyder barrels as some people have said.) The gun has a piece that looks like a low pressure chamber from a Spyder (sort of) but I wasn't able to unscrew it, so I wouldn't doubt if it were fake... |
|
| Conclusion: |
I wouldn't pay more than $12.50 for this gun. But hey, at least it throws around a little bit of paint. |

| Review: |
The gun is generally good if you treat it well and clean it as soon as you finish paintballing. If you mishandle it and not clean it, then your gun is going to get messed up. Make sure you handle it good. Also make sure the barrel is tight on the gun. My stock barrel for this gun sometimes gets loose, and the paintballs don't get maximum speed. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It is generally a good gun, but it can break down on you easily. Bottomline: Treat it well. |

its not as you think it is cause if you really like paintball you would take care of your paintball gun like a 100$$$ bill but if you got 100$$$ dollars i recommend to buy another gun.but if your a beginner you should get this gun and get more experience and just have some fun |
|
| Conclusion: |
i gave it a 10 cause its tight and light pull |

| Review: |
Well although it might trick you with its looks, this gun sucks bad, just like all those other brass eagle, ZAP and viewloader guns do. DON'T BUY IT DON'T BUY IT DON'T BUY IT DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!!!! You'll regret it if you do. The first time I played with it, it broke. It's made of cheap aluminum, the sight rail has no purpose of being there, the barrel is the worst, you might as well use a piece of pipe. It leaks C02, has a plastic trigger. Chops balls worst than a blender, the spot-welding around the vertical feed cracks if its cold and the accurary is way off range. I recommend that if you want a good gun, save up some money and get a Tippman 98 Custom!!!!!!!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend that if you buy this gun, to take it back as soon as possible or find a garbage can to put it in. |

| Review: |
I dont see what all your guys problem is! this gun is great for a begginer that doesnt want to spend a ggrand or two on a state of the art paint ball god gun! and all this chopping balls stuff, as long as you keep good care of your barrel it wont chop them. and yes some barrels do come a little screwed up but if you spend a half hour with a nail file that problem will be elimenated. and for the co2 leakedge ive never had that happen to this gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
so in other words if your a begginer tht doesnt want to spend a fortune on a high tech angel then this gun will do your job as long as you maintain it well. plus you cant beat the price. |

| Review: |
I got the gun for christmas, took it out with my friends, the first game i ended up havinf to thake the barrel off to shoot because they were clogging so bad. i let one of my friends look at the barrel and it had burs on it that were chopping the balls. I wasn't going to waist any mor paint that day so i sat out. the rest of the game. when i got it home i hooked up the co2 to show my dad how bad it chopped and when i did i heard a hiss.
IT LEAKED CO2 THROUH THE VALVE!!!!!!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
DO NOT buy this gun!!!!!!!!!!!
A 2 beacause its sexy |
