ipodpeter35 Tuesday, January 10th, 2006 Period of Product Use: 1 year 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: ICD b2kw/ pds (doesn't compare, better) Tippmann 98 custom (actually about same) Spyder rodeo (same) A-5 (better) Marker Setup: 2004 icd B2k w/ PDS, Empire reloader 2 crossfire 48 cu 3000 psi Recommended Upgrades: Decent barrel. Doesn't have to be 200$. Just a decent barrel. Co2 will probably be just fine. Strengths: Accurate Has potential relaible (never broke) works like it says it will Weaknesses: Slow Sight is useless nothing else huge Review: Okay first of all all you really need to service this gun is basically some grease and some o' rings. Also don't forget to throw in some allen wrenches. If you hear a leak you can basically slap an o' ring on and it will stop. It is definately a very good beginner gun. This gun has always worked. It has never broke mid game and screwed me over. This gun is a very good backup gun for woodsball. it sat in my garage for two years and we took it out and put some o' rings on and it worked perfectly. A very tough gun. Conclusion: I would recommend this product. If you see one on eBay go ahead and get it. I'm sure you could get one for cheap now. make sure to get o' rings you'll need em' :) Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   1 Comment - Add Comment

coheed&cambria Sunday, February 15th, 2004 Period of Product Use: 1 year 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: none Marker Setup: 14" black pmi razzor barrel black piranha ram air chamber black piranha beaver tail sight rail black piranha e-force trigger frame thumb velocity adjuster upgrade venturi bolt Recommended Upgrades: new barrel trigger frame Strengths: extremely light looks awesome made by PMI Weaknesses: a little unacurate started to leak( nothing a few orings couldnt replace) Review: this is a great gun and a good price. very little problems. looks awesome. its a good idea to get a new barrel. the trigger pull is decent but i reconmend a faster trigger frame like the eforce trigger frame for $80. It takes a 9 volt battery but does not have different firing modes, but it pull is extremely short.The sts g2 is a great gun for the novice and experienced player. Conclusion: just get a new barrel. thats all you need. a new trigger frame could help but is not needed. you can have some fun with this gun. its very easy to upgrade.

zer0ne Friday, April 13th, 2007 Period of Product Use: 4 years 2 of 2 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: Tricked 'cocker Tippman Pro-lite Automag Marker Setup: Pirahna STS G2 Drop Forward 20oz C02 DYE .45 sticky grips Lapco Bigshot Gravity feed hopper Recommended Upgrades: 14" Barrel .45 Grips Drop Forward Anti-siphon kit (if you play in crazy weather) Strengths: Reliable! Stupid easy to strip Easy VEL adjust Light Upgradeable Cheap Weaknesses: Didnt buy it new to experience the stock barrel? Review: Didnt use this marker for over 3years, picked it up and played a full days worth of speedball. The bolt locked back once, but easily fixed with a quick tug. I also didnt replace any o-rings or oil it before hand. Didnt chop any balls - even with gravity hopper. Of course I do have a lot of experience with 'cockers, so my trigger pulls are very consistant. I would say the above puts it up there with the reliability of my old prolite. Performed better with no maintenance after 3yrs than my 'cocker after 1 round of play! I still have yet to experience these o-ring issues. If you remove the tank like you would a 'cocker - you wont be replacing many of those o-rings either. Thats not to say that i'm not going to oil it or replace them - but so far only for regular maintenance. Cant say that about my old 'cocker. Fires more quietly (with the lapco bigshot) than my cocker with J&J 16" spiral vented barrel - with no loss of accuracy either. I was going to upgrade to a 12v hopper, but after a few games I found there was no need. I chose this marker originally b/c of its reliability, it has yet to prove me wrong. I also bought it used (semi-abused) - bought a new barrel (cost more than the marker, heh) and is dead on accurate - every game! Took a number of shots in the side and I didnt bother to clean it, and it still performed as if it hadnt. Highly accurate if you are not trying to spray paint the field and walk the trigger - which feels very clean and not cheap like you would expect. Conclusion: If you find one cheap (which they are at the time of this review) - buy one, or two. =) I'm sure they have their flaws, but compared to the maintenance of higher end markers - you will laugh at anything with batteries. I see reviews about how someone went up against a bunch of electro's and other junk, but if you can depend on your marker to shoot straight with every shot - you would be suprised how many one shots you can get if you take a sec and point it at someone before you pull the trigger instead of blindly painting whatever it is they are hiding behind. Cover fire is great and all, but you can keep a head down even firing 1bps. Tactics and a well fired paintball > 30bps. My priahna > my 2k Auto-chopper =P You could say I traded 'down,' but the looks on the guys faces with the $2,000 autos walking off the field with face full of paint is priceless. Yes, you will piss people off by pwning them with this marker. And pro's are not pro's becuase they spent the most money on their markers and can spray the most paint (play with them consistantly and you will know why). When I walk onto the field, I worry about the guy whose not wearing a jearsey and whos sporting a well semi-modified 'cheap-o' mechanical marker (spiders dont count, hehe) whos not talking #### before every round. Chances are he will be last to walk off the field. =) So buy this friggin marker - you will be a better player for it, 'pros' included! It will cost less than a day at the field! I give it a 9 - it still has a blow-back design (I really don't like bolts moving so close to my mask - even with a beaver tail) and requires a decent barrel.

nicknossilloc Sunday, August 29th, 2004 Period of Product Use: 6 months 1 of 1 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 6 months Similar Products Used: The G2 is my first and only gun so i have only used other guns (my friends markers) for fun before and after games. -Tippmann 98 Custom, It seems reliable, i have never seen it break down so i assume its pretty good. I haven't used any other guns but my friends spyder seems O.K. Overall I'd say my gun kicks @$$ compared to those two. Marker Setup: -Piranha STS G2 Barrels- Stock, Armson Stealth 13.5", J&J ceramic 14" Co2 tanks- Two 20 oz. tanks, one w/ on-off valve, one w/o on-off valve Loader- Qloader, if you've got no idea what this is go to www.qloader.com, anyways this thing feeds at like 40-50 bps! -Other Goodies 32 Degrees expansion chamber Drop forward Hogue Grips Bags and What-not -32 degrees equipment bag -Gun/barrel bag -4 100rd. loaders -2 2-tube harnesses -Bendy squigee (can't spell that) Recommended Upgrades: J&J ceramic barrel- this gun is is accurate as it is, with the J&J it's deadly (cheap barrel too) Drop Forward and Expansion Chamber Qloader or some other motorized hopper Strengths: -Accurate (sniper) -Mad quiet with the J&J ceramic (sniper) -Very reliable, never breaks down Weaknesses: Chops without motorized hopper, but all guns will do that Review: Wow, what can i say other than go buy it. Definatly worth the money and it definatly beats the 98 custom. It is very easy to field strip (I've done it before) very accurate, and very quiet. Everyone that I play with comments through the maskfull of paint i gave them "wow, that thing is mad accurate!" lol this gun rules! ***I have heard rumors about this gun going fully-auto if you hold the sear release in the forward position while holding the trigger down. I haven't tested this yet but it's worth a try!*** Conclusion: I've said it all in the review Normally i don't anything a 10 because nothing is perfect, but i can't help myself... It gets a 10 out of 10 Rating: 10 out of 10 Last edited on Sunday, August 29th, 2004 at 6:58 pm PST I found this review   1 Comment - Add Comment

presto Monday, April 7th, 2003 Period of Product Use: 2 years 1 of 6 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: Tippman custom '98, spider tl plus, spider compact, pro carbine, stingray, stingray 2, samurai, piranha pro. Marker Setup: Everything is stock. Recommended Upgrades: Nothing, get rid of it. Strengths: great aim, very maneuverable, loud intimidating sound Weaknesses: o-ring eater, eats o-rings sometimes doesn't respond to trigger, leaks gas Review: This marker sucks, i have tried to play with it many a times and it always screws me over except twice. the 2 times it worked it kicked butt. i took out a 5 man team all be myself with this gun once and a 4 man team single handedly inside a bunker with this marker. But that was the only timed it worked. all the other times i had to sit at camp and try to fix some problem with this gun for hours. it leaks gas, does not respond to trigger sometimes, and the detent breaks quickly. And don't say it is because i don't oil it. I have oiled it every time before and after every game. every game, not game day. This marker is bad overall. It does not deserve the 3 i am giving it, but i will cause when it does work it kicks butt. Conclusion: Do not waste your money. spend your money on a solid gun like the Tippeman custom '98 for $50 less. this gun has zero problems that i have known of. and i know several people who have this gun.

TeamFocusJackal Wednesday, December 3rd, 2003 Period of Product Use: 4 years Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: Spyder TL plus and other Clones, they don't kepp up with the STS, they are heavey ugly, and look like wanna-be's Marker Setup: System X vengance Pro 2.0 (basically a high-sclae autococker) 12 volt java revy with X boad 68ci 4500 PSI pure energy tank and my STS G2 with System X , X-10 drop forward same tank same revy Phsyco ballistics Aradus barrel 14 in. and new hoses Recommended Upgrades: A new barrel, the stock one is okay but a new barrel like the Aradus I have on mine makes a big differance, also with the aradus it doesn't matter what bore size paintball you have because it can switch to all I'd also reccamend nitro it give the gun a more stable feel and will give a more accurate range ans stable range of fps A drop forward is nice espaically if you have a big tank, it gives the gun a better center of gravity makes it for balanced and compact...it gives opponents less things to hit too A new bolt would be good...NAKE SURE YOU OIL THIS GUN, wear on the internals will be costly to your game/gun! A new trigger would be good, a new frame while you're at it, give it a shorter trigger pull and watch it fly.. Strengths: Cheap, GREAT RELIABLE GUN It's not an O-ring eater like everyone says Weaknesses: the barrel...it's stubby...and ugly.....The gun breaks cheap paint Review: WoW...this gun works right out of the bpx...add some air you loser don't take it out of the bpx and try to go shoot the squirrels in your back yard...dumb@$$ THe gun is good, the company is good, buy it. It's a good begainer gun and if you upgrade it it can keep up with anything, you might want to look to 2K3 though... oh.....where to begain...there's all this hype about auto cockers and believe me....they're alot more complicated and break easier...this gun is more realiable then them by far and is only a tad bit worse...but there's 200$ inbetween... the gun is durable plain and simple I can shoot mine underwater and if the ball quality is good...there it goes, I've only had one problem with this gun and that was it not recocking....I took it to the shop and all they did was replace the front O-ring and it worked fine, the trigger pull is nice...you might want a new shorter one though.. GREAT RELIABLE GUN! It's not an O-ring eater like everyone says...they don't take care of it. The gun breaks paint that sucks, like brass eagle...why you would be buying brasseagle paint and other sucky paint...I have no idea.......do you shop at walmart?....walmart is NOT a paintball store Conclusion: Nice gun, 10 out of ten, come on just look at it it's calling your name! STS Super Target System, let them eat paint! Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

buellkid3136 Tuesday, August 26th, 2003 Period of Product Use: Less than a month Paintball Experience: 4 years Similar Products Used: spyders, assorted open bolt blowbacks Marker Setup: 2k2 cocker kapp reflex frame bomb 3way shocktech RAM cole screw in bolt pmi 45/68 freak Recommended Upgrades: -NITRO NITRO NITRO, its excellent and u can use it on any higher end gun if you get a better gun -barrel-though rather accurate Strengths: price consistent for a openboltblowback gun foregrip nice trigger NITRO NITRO NITRO Weaknesses: upgradability aint a cocker or imp, but it gets the job done, Review: my cocker was down, so i grabbed my dads STS and put my nitro and normal hopper on it and went to play with my friends at our local team practice at a little small shop field(we played on the sup air) and i was against an angel speed, an orracle autococker, and an eblade dye autococker, and the ppl on my team had just somewhat stock cockers (2k3's) and we held our own and won a couple times, i was gob-smacked how well this thing ran, but it was 50 percent the nitrogens doing, i recommend just a screw in nitro tank to anyone who plays paintball Conclusion: ill give it a nine, its no timmy or angel, but for the price and such, ill give it a nine, i am absolutely done mashing piranhas as i used to (i am a cocker owner in case u havent read my gun) i recommend this gun to anyone as their first gun, and i do mean ANYONE, this is a great gun Rating: 9 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

PJWirth Thursday, July 3rd, 2003 Period of Product Use: 1 year Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: A variety of spyders, tippmanns, mini-mags. They are all good on depending what you want. Marker Setup: Piranha STS G2 AA Barrel with the freak front 16 oz. co2 (I like it better than a 20...fits better) Recommended Upgrades: Barrel (stock is still pretty good i think) HPA Regulator Drop forward Strengths: Accuracy, price, upgradibility (if that is even a word), uses very little air Weaknesses: None really Review: Great gun, uses very little air (about 1,500 shots with a 15oz), cheap, I haven't chopped a ball yet. My friends like it. Great for back-yard play and more. The only problem is with the bolt, you may pinch the front o-ring but that isnt a big problem, just oil it more and it wont happen as often Conclusion: Wow, this gun is great, and I love it. Performs great Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

jjohnson20 Thursday, June 19th, 2003 Period of Product Use: 3 months Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: 32 degrees rebel(that gun sucks) Marker Setup: piranha STS with a 20 oz co2,remote and soon to have a 12 v revvy hopper, and an all american barrel Recommended Upgrades: new barrel(stock barrel is good for being stock but a new one is definitely needed),electronic hopper,n2 tank would help but not needed Strengths: good accuracy,pretty light,and doesnt chop balls Weaknesses: its a little loud Review: this is a great gun to own.it is very easy to maintain and very easily upgraded.i like this gun because for the price that i got mine for it has and is giving me very good outcomes when i play with this gun.my friend has aan automag and he has had several problems with it and his is a very nice gun but i do not want a gun that will break after the 1st time you use it and this gun hasnt broken on me yet. Conclusion: i reccomend this gun to any player that is relatively new at the game because they will not have to try very hard to maintain this gun and it will not break if it is kept in good conditions.
