This is a good gun it shoots straight, has an anti chop bolt ,it doesnt wastes gas. I shot 500 balls on a 9 once tank and i was shooting in the cold. This gun is very accurate i shot a 2 inch diameter tree from 20 feet away. this gun shoots very fast i shot it as fast as i could and didnt break any balls.this gun is also cheap i got it in a kit with the gun, x-ray mask, 9 ounce pure energy tank'200 round hopper barrel blug and squegy for 100 dollars |
|
| Conclusion: |
this is a good gun and i would recomend it to anyone |

| Review: |
This gun has a nice light trigger that I really like. This gun doesn't look too great, but that doesn't really matter. The performance makes up for the appearance. The barrel is pretty good for a stock barrel but I recommend purchasing a new one. It is comfortable to hold but it would be better if it had fore grip. |
|
| Conclusion: |
In my opinion, this is the best marker you can get if you are a beginner. You will not be disappointed, go buy it! |

I got this Gun for 90 dollars Brand new with mask, 9 oz tank. 200 round Hopper.
Their are many upgrades for this gun and its spyder compatible.
Give this gun a new Barrel and a X chamber or Reg. It will be good. The cocking System is kind of bad but you can change that. You cant beet 90$ for this Gun which came in a package on sale at my local sporting good store. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Cheap Price for a Very Good gun ! ! !

| Review: |
First off, this is a great marker for begginers.Here is some more specific information:
PRICE:The price of this marker is great considering the durability and the accesories that come with it.The R6 Package comes with the marker, hopper,9oz. CO2 tank,barrel plug, owner's manual, extra spring, extra o-rings, and much more.
SIZE:This marker is very small so it is great if your looking to play tape or front.This gun is not for tournamnts,it is a rec-ball marker
FEEL:The grip frame is very comfortable.The trigger is very well spaced so you don't have to stretch your fingers.Although the grip frame is comfortable, it can get uncomfortable during long games.
ACCURACY:The accuracy of this gun with stock barrel is prettyy good.If you put on a different barrel,such as the Razor 14 inch barrel,it with improve the accuracy tramendously.So I reccomend a longer,better barrel
SPEED:This gun is capable of firing 10+ shots a second as advertised. This is pretty fast for non electo marker.But if you compare the speed to an autococker,the autococker will be much faster
AIR EFICIENCY:The air efficiency of this marker is extremely good.I can get 1500 off of a 9oz. tank.THAT IS AWAESOME!So bottomline,this gun doesn't waste air!
|
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recomend buying this marker if you are into rec ball at your local field.Don't expect to compete in tournments with this gun when the people you are going against got autocockers.Although the player is the real competitor,not the gun. |

| Review: |
This is a very good gun in my opinion. i have used a viewloader orion which i think is a good gun and this one is very similar to it. they both don't chop balls often and they are light weight and it is a cheap gun and for the low price you get a very high quality gun. This gun should be bought because of the supreme accuracy that comes with the stock gun. Its also very durable for a very low price. |
|
| Conclusion: |
if you are looking for a good and cheap gun i recommend this one |

pmi rental markers, and tippmann A-5. The r6 is incredibly accurate, well built, and has a low retail price. The r6 is not quite what an A-5 is, but but darn close. |
|
| Marker Setup: |
pmi r6 non-electro semi-auto. Extreme Rage hopper, nine ounce co2, stock nine inch barrel, pmi/rps paintballs. |
|
Recommended
Upgrades: |
This marker performs better than I ever dreamed. I might buy the pmi razzor barrel, since everything else pmi seams to be the perfect match. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Very accurate, lightweight, way over 500 shots on nine oz. ease of maintenance, upgrades, price. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Sight rail directly behind hopper. |

| Review: |
After paintballing many times with rental gear I knew it was time to get at least my own marker. I read many reveiws and even played a full day with my nephews new A-5. I enjoyed the A-5 but just didn't have the money for it or others like it. My luck changed when I went to a local sporting goods store and there was my pmi r6 player package on sale! After buying the complete kit I quickly when to a paintball range to chrono and shoot targets including moving targets. My r6 is amazing! I've shot well over 500 paintballs on 9 oz! It does not waste air! This marker is very accurate even with the stock nine inch barrel. The spring, o-ring, and tool set are very handy and useful. The red hammer spring is for high velocity shooting only. On the chrono, the red spring had consistant readings well over 400 fps. The blue spring is the one I use at the range and the paintball fields on the weekends. It delivers consistant chrono readings safely under 300fps depending on the velocity adjuster setting. This marker has comfortable grip and a smooth, consistant trigger. I have shot at least 5000 paintballs through this marker and it has yet to chop a ball! This marker likes Zap, Draxxus Midnite, and performs best with Pmi/rps advantage premium paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
A low profile, but useful, foregrip that can be fitted to existing pr6 markers. |

| Review: |
This is my friends gun and i tested it out. The gun is ok but it is not great. The price is a good thing about the gun. My friend bought his in a package that included a squegge a hopper a 9 oz c02 tank and the the gun for 120 dollars so he got a good deal. It could use another barrel though. This marker peforms like most other unregulated mech blowbacks. It is VERY similar to a spyder victor in accordance to feel.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great begginer gun. |

| Review: |
I got this gun when i was a rookie in paintballing. I was a bit scared that the gun wasnt going to be as good as the rentals. But i was way wrong. The gun was PERFECT!! it shot 10+ balls per second and it was accurate! it comes with extra o rings and velocity springs. I am very happy with it! |
|
| Conclusion: |
It is just a perfect cheap gun i would reccomend it to any of my friends. I was suprised when i saw it shoot |

| Review: |
I bought the gun used and it had a gas leak. but that was nothing a little teflon tape and a new O-ring couldnt fix. it has range speed and accuracy but it is loud and there is no fore-grip. But i got a whole set for 80$$ and its working great. You can get 500-600 shots off a 9oz tank but a larger tank like a 16oz would be perfect. I just got a 16 oz tank it is perfect with a lot of shots but not to heavy. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great gun get it its worth the money! |
