p8ntballguy00 Friday, December 10th, 2004 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 28 of 33 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 years Similar Products Used: spyder xtra Marker Setup: VL Triad, stock Recommended Upgrades: new barrel--the stock one isn't bad considering its only stock more variety of colors----only comes in green which is good for woods-ball Strengths: very accurate powerful holds CO2 good light good color for woods-ball Weaknesses: Top Loader Review: I love this gun. over all it is a great gun. it greatly compares to the spyder xtra. I have only used it for just about a month and it has worked great so far. i haven't had any real problems with it. The only thing that has gone wrong is that when i use a blue streak ball is tends to explode in the barrel. But the easy solution for that is use a different kind of ball. Conclusion: i recommend this gun to beginners and intermediate players. Its cheap, has a sleek look, and accurate and powerful Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   7 Comments - Add Comment

mak-68 Monday, March 22nd, 2004 Period of Product Use: 3 months 19 of 28 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: BE Avenger Marker Setup: 98 custom, double trigger Recommended Upgrades: front grip Strengths: durable, dependable, lightweight, vertical feed, top cocking Weaknesses: hard to find repair kits Review: I own 5 of these guns because I have alot of broke friends that I want to play paintball with. The package was complete and the mask was even suitable for human use.Ha Ha The ease of care on these guns are top notch pop out one pin, pull the cocking handle clean and your ready to go. Unlike 98's that require open heart surgery just to clean. The Velocity was high on them so I took the spacer out from behind the spring and that did the trick. The looks of the gun and its simplicity make it Ideal for anyone that wants it. Accuracy seemed compareable to anyother stock barrel you get. The Quantum loader in my opionion is useless and adds complexity to a simple system. I got 5 vl2000 and solved that problem. I believe all guns should be sold with barrel bags and not plugs since you can't use them at most events any more. Conclusion: Over all good gun for the money it has made it possible for me to go play with good friends and not worry about fixing guns all the time. I think it fills the spot it was ment to fill and thats good enough for me. Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   5 Comments - Add Comment

cephas37 Sunday, February 8th, 2004 Period of Product Use: Only tested 14 of 27 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 2 years Similar Products Used: spyder, orion: comprapable but spyder is really solid Marker Setup: triad now Recommended Upgrades: get a new barrel or if you have a drill press and can use it put some holes on the barrel end to dispurse co2 Strengths: inexpensive durable ease of cleaning Weaknesses: none yet Review: I only have taken the gun out twice, but it is working really well. Barrel makes balls shoot crooked, but that is easily fixed with a new barrel. The electronic loader is noisy, but worked well to get the paintballs down into the marker. The green color is cool and worked well with the camouflage. Flexible squegee (as many know) works well. Conclusion: good gun for the price. I liked the electronic loader.

Flashfire Friday, March 11th, 2005 Period of Product Use: Only tested 13 of 18 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: VL Orion Spyder Shutter BE Eradicator Spyder Compact Spyder Imagine VL Triton Tippmann 98C Marker Setup: Main gun: -Spyder Shutter -14'' Dye Xcel -CP Flame drop forward -32* Spring kit -Spinloader hopper -Polished internals -Steel braided hose -Drilled V/A -Drilled valve -Modified bolt -20oz. with SP on/off Backup: -VL Orion -14'' 32* Whisper -32* Spring kit -Polished internals -Modified trigger spring -VL200 hopper -20oz. Recommended Upgrades: Barrel, trigger job, polish internals, hopper, Strengths: Value Reliability Doesn't chop Accurate with better barrel Gas efficient Green Weaknesses: Long trigger pull Loud Terrible stock barrel No foregrip Review: This is my Dad's marker. It's almost exactly the same as my Orion (or any other VL). The stock barrel was awful so we replaced it with a 12" VL barrel and it improved the sound and accuracy very much. Trigger pull is heavy, I haven't fixed that yet. It's very gas efficient. It hardly ever chops paint. The color is great for woodsball. UPDATE!!! After a year, the stock main spring wore out. The maker had hardly any velocity. So my remedy was to take the silver main spring from the 32 Degrees Spyder Spring kit and trim a few spirals off to make it fit in the Triad. The result was fantastic. It now has much more accuracy and strength than it did before. Conclusion: I like this marker but there's still better markers out there for the same price.

Hed Trauma Thursday, July 28th, 2005 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 12 of 12 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: More than 5 years Similar Products Used: Spyder Compact, Spyder Sport, Piranha, Point Zero Marker Setup: Nothing was added to the gun form its original state. Stock bottom line and foregrip. Recommended Upgrades: Ported the stock-barrel shot accuracy and grouping-consistency increased greatly, Drilled out the cap where a volumizer would go. Removed the annodizing on the bolt and polished. Strengths: Affordable, Spyder Barrel Threading, Decent Entry-level marker Weaknesses: Gas consumption Velocity high out of box Plastic Trigger Frame Lame packaged hopper Review: My cousins were visitng for the weekend showed an intrest towards my paintball guns. We went to a few sport stores looking for a cheap marker and honestly weren't having much luck. We ended up picking up Triad Players kit from walmart for 80 bucks, 7oz BE tank, Quantim Hopper and a JT Mask. Cheap enough to go out and play, After we got some gas and paintballs I was surprised at how well the marker fired and performed. The rate of fire wasn't blazing but was adequate for recreational play or woodsplay. The Stock barrel performed up to par with stock barrels from comparable blowback markers. After porting the barrel the accuracy and range was almost the same as my 14" CMI Thunderpig, it isnt the best thunderpig i've used, kind of lousy finish. The stock Hoper... does its job, but by no means does this gun need an electric hopper. The opening for the Vertical Cocker has worn the bolt, after only a weekend of play, That was a little disapointing but it hasn't obstructed playablitiy I haven't had a chance to try out the JT Mas it came with , So I can't comment about it. Conclusion: With a little modification the gun performed quiet well and for the cost of the marker, I can't think of better brand new marker or package. All in All, I'm pleased with the gun. It should serve as a great entry level marker or recreational gun. I give the gun an 9 out of 10 because, It serves it's purpouse and does it's job very well, If your spending 30-80 bucks on a pantball gun can you honestly expect much more than what the Triad has to offer? My only real Knock on this gun is the Plastic Triggerframe, but it is a nice frame, decent throw and seems to be sturdy. The Gun met my expectations and exceeded a few.

master18967 Saturday, December 25th, 2004 Period of Product Use: Less than a month 9 of 12 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 3 months Similar Products Used: Viewloader Orion Spyder Imagine Pirhana R6 Pirhana GTI E-Force WGP STO Autococker Marker Setup: -VL Triad -Razzor Barrel Recommended Upgrades: New Barrel Strengths: -Easy to Clean -Accurate with new barrel -Trigger -Easy Rear Cocking Weaknesses: -Somewhat Loud -Stock Barrel -Vertical Feed Review: I have had this gun for less than a month. I had some ball breaks, but after I got better brand balls I haven't had one break. The stock barrel is not that great so I recommend getting a new barrel if you want to be accurate. If you fire to fast with cheap balls they will break in the barrel. You have to clean the barrel after every break or it won't be accurate. Conclusion: This is an overall good gun for beginners. This is a amazing gun for the price. Rating: 10 out of 10 Last edited on Saturday, January 8th, 2005 at 6:50 am PST I found this review   0 Comments - Add Comment

gijon Wednesday, March 17th, 2004 Period of Product Use: 3 months 8 of 9 people found this review helpful. Paintball Experience: 1 year Similar Products Used: shoots like t98 Marker Setup: tippmannA-5 flatline Recommended Upgrades: 14 inch razor barrel Strengths: accurate shoots far cheap Weaknesses: no front grip Review: my friend owns this gun he has had it for about 2 months when i first saw it i thought it was gonna suck i had just bought a spider xtra and i thought it would shoot better than his gun because 1his was vl 2it was only 100 dollars 4 the whole kit and the spider was 100 by itself his gun was way more accurate i ended up taking the xtra back and buying a pmi eforce gti the first time we played with my new gun i killed him but we were playing on these huge hills but his gun was still acurate and wasnt much better than my pirahna but the week after my pirahna started shooting like dukey which was a 200 dollar gun which made me mad because a little 100 dollar triad that came in a kit was better than my 200 dollar gun that didnt come with any thing special that chops every shot and accuracy sucks so i returned that gun and bought a tippmann A-5 i like it alot i havent really compared it to his gun though the oy problem with the A_5 is i got ripped off 90 bucks payed 320 4 the gun buy itself and its not rt and it didnt come in a pack with anything.But at least i have a good gun now. Conclusion: this is an awsome gun and its only 100 dolars and it comes in a kit the only bad thing about the hopper it comes with is that when were in the woods playing its clear so it sticks out.

Paintball Experience: Less than a month Similar Products Used: Tippman Procarbine not evan as good as Triad and triad is not as much as other guns that as good as this one Marker Setup: VL Triad Quantum Loader 9 oz CO2 Recommended Upgrades: bigger CO2 Strengths: Is very accurate and very light green so it will be like camo Weaknesses: there are no real weaknesses to this gun that i have found Review: This gun is very good for beginners like me the quantum loader is not very good so get a new hopper. This gun is very accurate and I have only chopped two balls out of 1000. I have had my gun for almost a month and used it several times. I really like this marker because it is cheap and easy to maintain also because it was very easy to clean when i chopped one of the balls this gun is only 100 dollars at walmart so i think thats a pretty good deal for a gun this good. Conclusion: I recommend this gun to beginners and intermediate players Rating: 10 out of 10 I found this review   3 Comments - Add Comment
