|
| Strengths: |
This is a cheaply priced gun that comes to you timed, and ready to play with. The dust anno looks great i think, even tho it only comes in blue and silver dust. Trigger frame is better than WGP slider IMO (shorter quicker smoother pull). Its a great gun for the person that knows that he or she is eventually going to upgrade all kinds of parts anyways. X enterprises is real easy to work with too. They sent me 2 drop forwards because the first one i ordered didnt get shipped until i called. That made me happy. These guys are wiling to work with you and make you happy. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Not too much bad here. The valve is plastic, so if you go to the chrono with this gun and see that your shots arent consistent, you know where to place your blame. The rest was only in my case. The gun wasnt timed properly, but that didnt take much. I didnt get the blue barrel as pictured, i got a chrome sys x 1 piece, and they dropped the price accordingly. Dosent matter, i have a freak. |
|
| Review: |
Good gun. Good price. Good people to deal with. These things all add up to something that i would buy, so i did, and im not dissapointed. This is a gun for the person that likes to customize their gun with all kinds of different parts, but wants a gun that will preform when he first gets it. For the person that wants something better than the stock cocker, and is on a tight budget, your looking at your gun here. I definately want to get that plastic valve out though. That can only cause problems down the line. Hey it does reduce weight right? lol. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is the enthusiasts gun who is on a budget. I reccomend it to people like me, who want to play, but dont want to have to work for weeks to afford playing. I gave it an 8 because it didnt come timed right and has a plastic valve |

I got a Special Edition System X- TYPE X from www.Sakworldpaintball.com. It came fully loaded with fully adjustible Nickel Front pnumatics and a Matching 12" SystemX 2 peice barrel (pretty cool). It also came with a bottom line kit (no drop) which was nice. I use a Nitro Duck Mega-Reg 90/4500 I aslo got from Sakworldpaintball.com. |

None, the only opgrade I would get is an Eclipse, Race gun, or System X e Frame. But the gun already can out shoot my 12 volt revy with the stock hing frame. |
|
|

|
| Strengths: |
12" 2 Peice Barrel, LOW OPERATING PRESSURE (300 PSI), Nickel pneumatics, |
|
| Weaknesses: |
None that i can fore see. |
|
| Review: |
THe Barrel up grade is pretty sweet, its a matching 2 piece barrel which shoots really straight (Plus it was a FREE UPGRADE) which was very cool. The Special Edition, I guess SakWorldpaintball.com is the only place qualified to carry them, has front nickel plated front Pneumatics which match up with the barrels Nickel plated back end so it looks AWESOME.
This is a low pressure marker which is great because its nice and quite especially with the 2 piece barrel. It operates @ 300PSI which minimizes the chance of balls breaking in the chamber.
I have read reviews about the valve being plastic, and its not just the case. You can't make a paintball valve out of plastic because it won't be able to with stand the pressure. I took the valve out to verify it was made out of metal and it was. The Valve had a very wide mouth and body which allows large volumes of air to flow through it. This allows the gun to operate ot 300 PSI with out experiencing any "shoot downs". A friend of mine got a special edition too and installed an E blade on it. The gun has no vale related problems or any problems what so ever. This gun was made for a fast cycle rate. System X used to make crappy see through Plastic barrels. I think that s where the rumor started. You have to keep in min d the average age of the kids who write these things is like 14 and they have only played with a spyder with co2.
The GUn body its totally milled down, including the fron and back blocks, which make s the gun lighter and also allows it to shoot fast.
The hing trigger on it is cool looking and short, its also adjustable so you can make a shorter or longer trigger pull. It also come with and adjustable LP Regulator, adjustable In ling reg. Pre set from the factory, Removilble Low Rise (angel threads). Plus you have to love the FULL 3 Year warranty.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
System X can't use the word autococker or cocker because Worr games has them on trade mark. You can only call a gun a cocker if the original body has be made from worr games. This is not a cheap rip off of a cocker but a big improvement on cost and features.
I have been playing this sport since 1994 and have always been a big cocker fan. This gun is it. I have played with $1000 cockers and have built mine own over the years and the is the best deal I have come across. It comes with everything you need and could ever want on a cocker right out of the box, pre tested, pre timed AWESOME. ADD a loader and air and your ready to rock. The guys down at sak world are pretty cool too, i have been buying from them for a while and the service is great. They also know a lot about cockers. The Special Edition is an A+++ Highly Recommended. |

|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
This marker is extremely accurate and has a good rate of fire. I had a trigger job done on mine, so it shots very very fast. For the price, you can't really get a better gun than this one. Its got looks, performance, and manuverabilty. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The bolt is probably the only thing that qualifies as bad. I never got that many chopped balls due to it, nor from the barrel, but you still should upgrade both. |
|
| Conclusion: |
The best gun that you can buy for 400-450 bucks. |

Upgrades: |
I personally liked it out of the box. Maybe a barrel but i like the stock a new bolt maybe im not to partial to just open faced bolts i like multi holes better duno why (evil looking i guess) and i loved the fact its timed out of the box X enterprises kicks @$$ other than that i would but on a new regulator perhaps a genx2 or something GET A DROP FORWARD!! |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Dead Accurate. Nice paint job. Decent regulator but there are better ones on the market. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The regulator its spikes often but its ok. Hard to chrono but cockers are anyway. |
|
| Review: |
I love this gun. Its fantastic. I was always wanting to get a better gun but i didnt think you get get much better. I liked my piranha and i thought it was the shizzle but this out of the box rocks so hard. But hey that pro ts is a DAMN good backup gun just in case. And again Xenterprises rocks so hard they ship out and all that in good time good job guys. |
|
| Conclusion: |
BUY THIS GUN ITS THE BEST FOR THIS PRICE ive shot so many impulses and wgp cockers at the same price range and this is the best. The impulses require you to buy up to 100 dollars more just to get it working right with the tapeworm and so on. i give this gun a 10 |

| Review: |
This gun is a green light for almost any serious player, not to expensive compared to other cockers but clearly one of the best. I would reccomend this to anyone interested in an autococker. This gun is fast AND accurate. I found everything stock is fine, except the bolt and the barrel. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This gun is both fast and accurate, somthing any smart player needs. I see no real problems and I am very happy with it. Get it. Period |

|
| Review: |
I purchased my System X X-type for about $200 on ebay 6 months ago. When it came, it wasnt timed correctly, but i easily fixed that. When i first played with it, i could easily notice the accuracy. It was as good as any WGP autococker. The speed is decent. It is a challange to get this gun shooting over about 10 bps, but an eblade or xonix will easily get it reaching 15bps+. The only real flaw is that the stock bolt will chop, but not so much that it is a major problem as i said listing the weaknesses of this marker. what i mean is that, it will chop about 1 ball out of 2000 balls shot, so thats not that bad. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Excellent marker, i give it a 9.4 out of 10, so i'll just go with 9. |

| Review: |
the gun came timed, which is a good thing for me. it is basically ready to rock out of the box, so everything is good.
X Enterprises has a wonderful warranty, 3 years! yes, 3 years. its awesome.
also, it is fully cocker compatible, and for a E2, all you need is eyes tapped.
The stock barrel is ok, a .689 bore, so alot of paint will work in it.
I got it for 200 new shipped with my tank. If you only have co2, you need an anti siphon. a drop is also a good idea, cuz the gun can be unbalanced if you don't have one. The grip frame is also really nice, built in snatch grip and Beavertail. although, the beavertail looks cool, the EVIL supergrip is awesome. The grip panels are pretty good, like dye stickies, but a tad less sticky. overall a good gun. Doesn't chop too much, like ever. |
|
| Conclusion: |
In conclusion, i would buy this gun if you can, over a WGP cocker. Although, it doesn't come too milled, this opens opportunities to make your gun alot cooler. it is a good weight, and balances well, and the trigger frame is positioned well to the regulator, making it pretty easy to get in close. also, i recommend a loader that can feed fast, like a 12v revy, or the empire 12v. both are good hoppers, the empire is faster, so i chop less.(not that i chop much anyways). i know people are going to be asking me for the site, so PM me and ill get back to you
buy this gun! its definitely worth it. id give it a 9.6 cuz of the barrel, its a stock one, and cuz of the bolt, a stock delrin one would've been nice. |

| Review: |
NO OTHER WEAKNESSES
This gun overall preforms well above standards.
Its accurate, fast, light, and just a good gun.
It shoots great with stock parts, shoots consistant over a crono,
You will have to get a better gauge though, the one that come on the gun are plastic and break easily. It shoots great out of the box and for many of us that is what we want.
COMCLUSION-Buy this gun, affordable, dependable and all around great marker. |
|
| Conclusion: |
All in all this gun is a great cocker. System x is a relativly new and upcoming company and by the looks fo it they are headed for success. For the price range this gun is one fo the best you can get. $280-$400. I give it a nine because of the different shade of blues. But dont get me wrong this gun is great!!!!! |

| Review: |
I got this marker as a birthday gift from my brother and parents, after talking about it for months on end leading up to my birthday. I did not get to actually cycle any paint through it until a couple of weeks ago. Initially, I had some problems with it not wanting to re-cock and some major ball-chopping. I discovered that the bolt was not completely clearing the breach. After fiddling with the front reg for a few seconds, this problem disappeared (I later screwed the cocking rod out a little bit to allow it to travel back enough to clear the breach without having the pressure up so high because I had some accuracy issues). I later had some difficulty when after chopping, I could not even move the bolt. I later discovered that this was caused by parts of the shell getting lodged in between the bolt and the inner wall, and just keeping the trigger depressed made it much easier to get out.
After getting past these intital problems (that are not really a suprise in a brand-new marker that has sat for a long time and been fooled around with a lot, but not really used), I had an absolute blast. I play almost strictly as a back, so accuracy is VERY key for me, and I used both the stock 2-piece and a Dye stainless. With both of those, I was picking guys off at the other team's 30 and had a couple of games where I got 4 elims (we were playing 5 man on a speedball court). I was also able to launch some very consistent lines of paint and got it up to around 10-11 bps with NO trigger adjustment (note: System X sends these out with the trigger pull already shortened by about 1/2) |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone who is just beginning in paintball, who wants thier own mid-range marker, and is on a tight budget. I plan to put an e-blade, freak system, and MacDev low-pressure setup into this marker, tricking it out at just over $1000, piece by piece. These are excellent when you get them and can be improved by leaps and bounds with upgrades. |
