| Review: |
After playing around with a few different markers this season, i used a friends ECX Timmy. I was amazed. It is hard to not shoot fast and accurate with this marker. I ran out and got one the very next weekend. With the SOB board and stock trigger switch this marker is amazing, just about unbelievable. Add a Equalizer board and WAS trigger switch and you won't ever want to even touch any other marker. Bob Long and ECX truly created a piece of paintball mastery on this one. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it, now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're opponents will hate you for it |

Nothing at all. Unless you want some cool eye covers or other bling for the marker. Of course a barrell and good hopper. |

|
| Strengths: |
Reliable and quick marker. Lots of features |
|
| Weaknesses: |
No lcd display. Personally don't like the small trigger. |
|
| Review: |
Good gun all around. Shoots like a Timmy. Quick, sometimes uncontrolable. Bounces really well. Very accurate. Good reg, recharges well. Cycling pressure around 85 (never chops with ACE) Clamping feed neck. Easy electronic functions, battery lasts forever. Requires some TLC. (Reg needs to be lubed with dow to insure recharge consistency, and you have to buy a new seal everytime you take out the ram and internal components out) Looks exactly like a GZ but with more milling. Some better features. Better to go with a higher Timmy if you are looking for a totally new feel though. Preferibally a Lasoya or a Empire Intimidator. Enjoyable to get the feeling of a Timmy five years ago and be able to shoot one in a very similar manner with quite a few new features. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it if you really want to, but you get more personification with a higher Timmy. LCD display and better milling/features on the Lasoya, Empire, and Species. |

|
| Strengths: |
High and easy rate of fire. Accuracy. Effeciency. Price. Low recoil. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Slight leak that has gone away. Difficult to remove poppet/sleave; battery. Instruction manual = worst. |
|
| Review: |
Over all a great marker. Once you get one you no longer have any equipment excuses for your game; its all on you. The trigger is easy to walk, the lack of recoil allow you to stay on target. The marker balances well, and allows for easy snap-shooting. It goes without saying that you must have a fast loader to feed this thing. The only time I have have inconsistant velocities is when the paint/barrel match is wrong.
The price is acceptable too, considering this marker basically sold for much more two years ago. If you like, you can upgrade the board and have be as fast as anything that just came out for $1500. The instructional manual should look like it came with a nice tourny marker, not like it came with a $25.95 wallmart super samurai. |
|
| Conclusion: |
For the price of about $750, you get a tourny level marker as fast as anything, that is reliable. Whats not to love. *Added 2-20-05* The leak goes away after I cleaned out both regulators. |

| Review: |
Well i just recently added this to my gun whore collection.
I payed $350 for this hotness and it was worth every penny. with my reccomened upgrades this gun will be well worth what you put into it. i bought my gun dirt stock and it could only shoot 15 :( i about a week ago stuck a critical trigger and entropy board on it and now i am consistanly shootin 19-22 bps and im 13! this gun has extreme bouncing with this trigger but it can be easily set to not bounce by simply moving your magnet forward
overall i would reccomend this gun to anyone looking to get a used timmy and for about $600 overall that i put into it it was great |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get this gun if you are looking for a nice used timmy |

| Review: |
Alright, i tried this at a pro-shop, now some people like timmy's but; afetr this i know that timmy's are overrated. Now, while i did find this a good gun; its just not worth the money; Karnies are now $800-900 depending on where u look, just get 1 of them or a Proto Trix or Vision Shocker or something else;u wont be dissapointed |
|
| Conclusion: |
I really dont like it; but timmy's are good for some people, so maybe they would like it |

| Review: |
This gun is amazing it rips up all the other timmies older.
this gun is fast accurat and very reiliable.
the only down side of this gun is changing the batterie
you have to take off the frame thae off the grips take off the eye covers and take apart the frame
then u have to put it all back togather. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it if u get a chance worth the money |

| Review: |
This is a tournament level marker that requires low maintenance easy to use. Easy to break down and re-assemble. very reliable, and with the WAS board installed can be easily fine tuned to an individuals preferences. I would like to see the switch moved I had problems with it shutting off when moving from side to side. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great marker for tournament level players, or those who want a fast reliable marker out on the field. |

| Review: |
Since this is my first electro I am impressed with it's speed. I started playing p/b with an original Spyder and have been moving up ever since. I've been using a very upgraded 2001 Autococker for years now and will never get rid of it. I have had only 1 problem with the timmy and that is the feedneck fell right off the gun with my hopper. Took it to Bob's shop ( yes I live only 10 mins from the shop) and they fixed it no questions asked AT ALL.. Never willing to spend the money on electro before. Worth it's money! |
|
| Conclusion: |
I paid $650. for it and well worth the money. I say if you can afford it buy it. Nothing compares to being able to shoot 20 bps. I gave it 8 because of it being an air hog. Used 3000psi/68 cu in of air before 1 hopper and 4 pods. |
