Game Face Paintball, although a new name to the industry, actually has deep roots in the sport. From the marker side, our history dates back to the Sheridan VM series markers, and from the ball side our dynamic partners, Procaps Inc. are the inovators of the ex-Diablo brand, and now the Draxxus brand of paintballs. With this combined effort and experience Game Face Paintball has a lot to offer. When you buy a Bone Daddy ™ marker, Dusk ™ paint, or Game Face gear you get quality, reliability, experience, and a company that stands behind thier products. There is no reason to think twice - BUY GAME FACE

| Review: |
My first few games were a miserable experience. I was chopping balls nonstop. Turns out the hopper was just awful. I filled it up, closed it and tried to shake the balls out and they STILL wouldn't come out consisitently. Then I put on a different hopper and barrel and I haven't had a problem since then. The new barrel really went a long way to increase it's accuracy. It isn't an angel, but the gun was cheap as heck and came with a Skul mask and condeom (plus the crappy barrel and hopper). I played with it for a while and then debated whether or not to replace the gun or just upgrade it a bit until I could afford a serious piece of hardware. Decided to upgrade it. I threw on the E-Frame and a drop forward. Now I have the equivalent of a $200-$300 gun for a fraction of the price. And when I decide to upgrade, I can always part it out. It handles 13 bps without a problem. Simple gun, but simplicity means you don't have as many problems as you do with high end guns. I'm not saying I reccomend it for experienced players or anything, but it's a fine place to start. I'm still enjoying it. Plus since it's all spyder parts, there's a TON of stuff out there for it and you can get some great deals on ebay. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Thumbs up. Great beginner gun, in particular for people who aren't sure if they want to play in the long run yet. Get this, give it a shot. You can always upgrade it in the future if you want. |

| Review: |
I think the worst thing is that the hopper is in the way so its hard to get great aiming but you will still manage to hit your target. The barrell is short and you do get some ball breakage. You also have to cock it in the back which is a hastle because you can put your face close to it. Now, when you get the player's kit, it only comes with a 4oz. CO2 tank. This tank does say one use only, so don't try to take it out of your gun if its not empty! I learned that the hard way :( Also the adapter for the airsource doesn't have a burst disk so make sure the tank is always in cool temperature. If you buy this gun, look for a co2 tank at the same time and save up an extra $30! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall this is a great beginner gun. I got the player's kit for only $80 when the retail is $130 USD so be careful not to pay too much. Look on ebay for some great deals and if you have the cash, go for the Bone Daddy GT! |

| Review: |
I got this marker as an unexpected xmas gift, and didn't know what to think. Took it out on the first chance I could and was scoring like a champ. Close shots anyway. Better barrel mandatory.
I immediately started in looking for upgrades and found that with some creative engineering (washers), according to the forums here, I could add the Kingman IPI 3.0 e-Frame. Well worth the upgrade. |
|
| Conclusion: |
For the money this is an AWESOME rookie gun. With the mods I added it is a perfect rec/woods gun. |

| Review: |
This gun is a great gun for beginners and experienced players! I got this gun because i wanted to start paintball. My first time, I was @ SC Village and it was great. I had my Gameface Bonedaddy BL and was shooting the max of 3-5 balls per second @ ~285 fps very consistently with a standard gravity hopper! I only chopped 2 balls out of about 1000! That pretty good if you ask me. Anyway, if u don't want to break any balls I suggest get a Viewloader Quantum Hopper. The insides are what gives this gun it's value. Wow! With a gun this cheap you would expect everything to be cheap/ flimsy. This gun has the insides of a $300 gun!!! I took it apart and what a surprise! The insides are all aluminum not plastic!!! But the stock barrel isn't that great. The stock barrel doesn't have that great of range, only about up to 150+/- feet. That's why I suggest getting a Spyder (longer barrel) about 14'' - 16.'' This gun is a great gun that can be upgraded. Here are some upgrade suggestions. If you want this gun to rip I would put on an ESP IPI 3.0 Trigger Frame with an Egg 2. If you really want this thing to really rip get a Rocking Trigger Frame with a Halo B loader (if u have fast enough fingers for it). Last get a drop forward because it is hard to "aim" with the barrel down at your chin to see where u are shooting. This gun is a very consistent, cheap, and upgradable gun. And the great thing about this gun is most of your upgradable parts are Kingman products.HAVE FUN WITH YOUR UPGRADES (if you do)!!!
EDIT: This gun rocks, I just went out and had my Bonedaddy BL, with a ESP Classic Trigger, Empire Reloader, 14'' KO Barrel, and shot a 12'' by 6'' stump over 120 feet and hit it right smack dab in the middle of the stump. I was so shocked that I hit it my first shot. It may have just been luck..but I think it was skil cause I have a great shot. This is the cheapest, best gun, that u can upgrade! |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great gun for beginners and experienced players but I recomend it mainly to beginners. Because it is cheap, upgradable, and has a great inside I am giving it a 10, also I am giving this gun a 9 because it is a super gun for only $100.. I bought mine as a package for a round 100 bucks that came with everything you need to get started. But the key with this gun is UPGRADES!!! |

| Review: |
This gun is cheap and durable. if you are a beginner this is a great place to start. it is low maintenance so you wont need to repair it much, also doesn't chop much at all. I recommend this gun for woods ball not speed ball because it dose not shoot fast enough to keep up in a game of speedball. You don't need to worry about a new hopper because it doesn't need many balls fed to it because of its lower bps rate, but a new barrel would help because the one it comes with is short and somewhat inaccurate. One problem with it is that during a match the co2 starts to leak from where the can goes into the gun. When it is doing this it cannot shoot and it wast most of the co2 if you do not unscrew it fast enough, this will happen with any gun but not as often. Another issue is that if you are playing in the winter the co2 will start to leak from the barrel because the O-ring has shrunk too much from cold weather. Another issue that i found was that all the co2 comes out the front of the barrel when you fire. For whatever reason when you shoot you get a cloud of co2 in your face and you have no idea what you just shot at. This gun is easy to find, you can buy it at a local wal-mart so it's not a problem of waiting for it to come in the mail. This gun is durable, sense it is mechanical it is more solid. In the 2 years i had mine it never broke. This gun is pick up and play because you never really need to do any adjustments or anything to it before a match. The Price listed on this site or this gun is wrong, you can buy it, with mask, barrel and hopper, for $80 not $160. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall this gun is decent, it is a good gun to start with. but after a wile you just want more from it and it cant do it. |

| Review: |
I got this gun and I put the c02 in it and it leaked out cause something was wrong with the internals, so I sent it in to gameface and they sent me a new 1.(they have great service there). I went out and played with it it did fine but i didnt really like it. so I decided to upgrade it. I got a new barrel expansion chamber and trigger now it works awesome. I would highly reccomend this if u wanna upgrade a gun and make it good!!!
|
|
| Conclusion: |
So if u get this gun give it a shot and upgrade it will work great. Plus it take spyder parts so look on ebay there are some awesome spyder parts cheap |

| Review: |
I picked this marker up a couple weeks ago (which was my first gun) at Sports Authority. It cane w/ a mask, co2, and pretty much everything else for a beginner. Then I went to a place to shoot it. The gun was pretty accurate and not too loud. A great gun for a beginner like me. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a fine beginner gun. I would reccomend this to anybody who is just starting to get in the game. I give it a 9, just because something was missing in the box when I got it. |
