| The Piranha EXT G2 paintball gun is basically the same as the Piranha STS G2 paintball gun except for the custom splash anodized Blue/Black color. The Piranha EXT G2 Paintball Gun comes with the following features: .45 gripframe, double finger trigger with guard, powerfeed, Teflon impregnated nickel internals (to reduce friction), unique field strip pin (no tools required), rear cocking bolt, lightened trigger, gas thru foregrip, bottom line, custom PMI Perfect Pursuit barrel, raised sight rail with tournament beavertail, PMI Perfect Turbo Valve, low pressure chamber, and a true venturi bolt. |
|
| Product Availability | |
|
| The PMI Piranha EXT G2 is older, so while it may be available used and in a few cases new, it is not commonly available anymore. |

|
Recommended
Upgrades: |
a revvy, maybe a barrel |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
This is an awsome marker, shoots fast, straight, and accurate right out of the box. Easy trigger pull, extremely light even with 20 oz. co2 and full hopper. Compatible with all spyder upgrades, although in my opinion you really don't need them. It's also great on gas and is extremely easy to clean. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
The only thing bad I can say is that the beavertail screw strips out real easy, nothing a little bit of lock tight can't fix. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This was my first marker and will always be kept for my backup. the stock barrel does just fine and you will most likely end up out shooting a regular hopper so get a revvy . I really can't say enough good about it. I'm just as happy with it now as I was the first day I took it out of the box. I'm going to give it a 10 becouse in my opinion it is perfect for a beginner. |

| Review: |
I won this gun in a raffle. I think the thechnolgy on this gun is a little out of date but I believe it to be a great gun. The blue splash on the gun is very cool looking. PMI is a very reliable manufacturer so this gun will hold up well. The quality feels wierd though, however it might just be the paint on the gun. This is a good begigner-intermediate player's gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it if you can find one. |

| Review: |
This is a very good marker for the price, the quality is excellent because it is PMI. Right out of the box i thought it felt more "solid" then Spyders. I put some el tigre paint in it and shot it at my target (about 1 foot in circumcise) they were all in the circle and lots hit the bulls eye, not bad for a stock barrel. At my first game with it i held off a Spyder Flash and Tippman 98 custom with Flatline barrel. After 5-6 months a leak started to appear out of the hole in the end of the ram-air chamber, so i e-mailed Pmi and they told me what to do if that didn't work send them it for a free replacement part so i fixed it. Then it was making a noise like it was out of c02 the brraaaappp noise i looked and the trigger seer was chipped and worn so PMI sent me a new one no cost. Then i got a Teardrop barrel and now all you can hear is the bolt moving and it is so accurate. Another really good feature is the seer release switch on the trigger witch makes field stripping it supper fast and the bolt is so nice it never brakes paint. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a very good marker for the price I would recommend this to anyone at the beginner or intermediate level. I am giving it a 9 because of the two problems i had but since PMI fixed them just like that I will give it a 10 |

| Review: |
Tested this gun one day, held up well, didn't chop much paint. Stock barrel gets no accuracy, get a new one. CP 16" one-piece or PMI razzor 14" worked great. Suggest this gun for a begginer, low-matinence. Gun not worth it for for the advance player. Get a Spyder or a Autococker instead. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good begginer gun, get new barrel. In my opinion, not worth the money. |

| Review: |
this is an awesome gun for begginers. It has ok ROF, i think its 9, but 9 is good for begginers. Being that the gun is basic makes it easy to understand and maintain. However basic is also bad because this marker doesnt really have much to offer when it comes to uniqueness. If you get it for less than $150, definetly get it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is good for the price range and ok capabilities |

Accurate, nice for price,stock gun, and look. A great product of PMI. |

| Weaknesses: |
PMI could have made a better trigger frame, but since its polymer its lite weight. |

| Review: |
Where to start, this gun is nice right out of the box,comes with a parts kit,(o-rings, allen keys, and a red high velocity spring) PMI barrel plug, 11" Pursuit Chrome Barrel,(based on version of gun, mine was Chrome/Titanium). The accuracy was purely amazing, thier wasnt much of a difference at 125 feet away, merely 3-4 inches. Out of the 500 paint I fired, 0 broke. Great overall gun for 150$, You cant go wrong with Piranha, definately get this gun.
EDIT, i am dropping this review down to a 9, after a while of use then sear wore down, an aluminum sear, i am replacing it with a 12$ steel one, no problem, but the aluminum part discouraged me...still a nice gun, no doubt |
|
| Conclusion: |
I cannot give this gun any number but a 10, PMI should keep on making quality guns.
Edit SEE above |

ummm tested some spyders but i dont think you can compair autocockers or electrics to this |
|
| Marker Setup: |
pmi piranha ext g2 with a 20oz co2 tank, nothing els as of now because i just got finished working on a black dragon lcd |
|
Recommended
Upgrades: |
big co2 tank or nitrus, the barrels ok but i wouldnt mind getting a power line speedline or an armson |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
umm didnt cost too much, its easy to fire at a constant rate and you dont have to buy expencive paintballs if you dont want to because this gun doesnt break balls or chop or atleast it hasnt for me (800 paintballs threw it so far and no breaks). |
|
| Weaknesses: |
well, this gun isnt made for a front runner... if you want it to spray lets hope u can afford an expencive hopper because this gun without a nice hopper doesnt shoot too fast. |
|
| Conclusion: |
for the most part its a good gun, its not too expencive and its really easy to upgrade, people say that piranha's leak gas like really bad but i havent had that problem yet also if your a sniper you must get a new barrle ( rifled barrels work better then most) and its not bulky so i'd give it a 9 outta 10 |

i have used a Piranha STS before,quite the same except for the anodized splash blue/black paint,and quietness of the gun(EXT quieter). |
|
| Marker Setup: |
PMI Piranha EXT G2,taso dropforward,CCI regulator,full auto setup with long bolt configuration,smartparts teardrop 16" barrel,pneumatic rear cocker,titanium ceramic coated trigger,electro-grip anodized navy blue,pin velocity udjusting knob,and nickle coated ball housing. |
|
Recommended
Upgrades: |
new barrel,new side panels on grip(more comfortable and looks better). |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Light weight,accurate in speed ball,hyperball,easy trigger pull,easy to clean because of the feild strip pin,looks great,durable,ive had mine for 2 years and i have banged the heck out of this gun in the woods and it still works, opperates and feels like a dream. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
loud if you use CO2,with beaver tail its hard to get a grip on the cocking knob,grip isnt very confertable because of the hard bumpy grip,the angle of the trajectory isnt good if you use a bottom line... just doesnt balance right. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a high performance gun if you make a few adjustments and put some time, effort,and money into it,i would reccomend this gun to someone who doesnt want to spend alot for an above average gun,the style is great for a show case also. |

better barrle like a Lapco big shot or an Otp the rest i thought was great about the marker |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Light
Accurate
the trigger pull was very good
stock is fairly accurate
doesnt chop in the cold that much
I think its a very cool good |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Broke a ball
It makes that annoying sound when it sounds like you ran out of co2
in the cold
not much else the gun is pretiy reliable
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Personally I think Pirahna makes the best trigger pulls for semi autos and I think there almost as reliable next to maby a Spyder but Pirahna makes there guns a little better then spyder does but anyway buy this gun its worth the money i am thinking about buying a pirahna my self for a back up semi auto. |
