| Review: |
This is an awesome gun and would recommend it to anyone, the only problem is they Ariakon (armotech) arn't making any more soooo yeah
If you do find one buy it easy to care for, accurate, don't need any real upgrades, just a solid gun, and not very many people have them which is cool because people are always impressed my mine... just make sure to get something to fix the gas prob or buy your own scuba tank.. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy one...They're freaking awesome |

| Review: |
Alright. I've been playing paintball for about 3 years and this is by far the best gun while being one of the cheapest markers ive ever shot.
Yes, ive shot a cocker, and yes it has like 30 modes and can shoot like 20 balls a second. BUT...the evo is so accurate, even out of the box, that its better in speedball and in the woods because you dont have to spray & pay. Just 1 shot, one hurting enemy.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this gun right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Review: |
I bought this gun over a year ago. Overall I really do like my EVO, but there are some serious problems with it.
First, the feed neck. I have never seen a more loosely machined neck in all of my life. It has given me fits and wobbled since day one! I finally had to grind it down in order to make it more secure as well as keep it tight.
Second, the trigger, handle , and grips are plastic. Not metal; plastic. My trigger was pretty tight with a little side to side play when it was new; but after a year of use, it's plain sloppy. This is my 3rd back up and it has probably on seen 20 days of use in total. My drop forward has also stripped loose from the bottom of the grip where it is anchored into the plastic by a couple of pilot anchors followed by the drops attatchment screws. I epoxied them; so far so good.
Third, the regulator, it leaked right out of the box... I tightened it all up and was soon there after playing fine...... That is until it came loose again. Since then I just make sure it's tight before every game. As with the feed neck, I feel that the machining of the threads throughout this gun are subpar.
In conclusion this is a great shooting gun when it's shooting! I've just had a crap load of problems that I've had to address. Sometimes it's just nice to play and not have to fix the darn thing... |
|
| Conclusion: |
Save you're money and spend it on something more dependable in the same price range. They no longer make this gun and other than being the only one at you're field with one; it's not worth you're time and or frustration. |

| Review: |
This is an awesome gun, for about the first five months. it will absolutly not work on just a regular 9v, has to be 9.6v which are hard to find and expensive. the grips are cheap plastic and if you over tighten they break....they do replace those for free, but it took me like 2-3 months. Its hard as poop to walk with this because, for some reason, the top half of the trigger doesnt push the button very well, i guess thats why full auto is a feature. the battery cable also broke and it cost me 25 bucks to fix it, and in virginia, theres nowhere around (shop) that can fix it, so you have to send it away. the stock barrel is the nicest ive ever seen, 14 inches of light weight accuracy. its not too fast but it can outshoot some stuff (13 bps). it comes with a decent regulator and pressure gauge and a nice drop ( i got a flame drop on mine). plus its easy to strip and and lube. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you shop by cost (more expensive the gun the better). Thats not exactly true with this, when u pay 200 some odd dollars, your buying the reg, the gauge the drop, the barrel, and the volumizer, the gun without everything is worth about a hundred, so i wouldn't get this if i were you, id get a BKO or a wrath |
