| Review: |
I have lots of markers and several years of experience and from what I've seen, this gun is a winner! It's a very durable and solid gun for continous use. It's much faster than Tippmanns and BT's and weighs far less. I've played with it a few times at my local field and everyone else just has good things to say about it. Haven't seen any problems with it. The only thing I don't like about it is the plastic trigger. The trigger is solid but just feels cheap, you don't notice it during the game but out of the games, it just feels and looks weird. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great gun, my favorite among the entry level markers. It's affordable, durable, fast. |

| Review: |
first day paintballing EVER!!!!! rental gun was tippman, but it was abused, so i went and picked up the only marker i could find there for less than $100. WOW, i was amazing out there. 1st day kill/death ratio 12:1
cant go wrong with this one!!! definetely can imagine that a poor quality marker on someones first experiencewould turn someone off to paintball, but with the Icon X, i became addicted. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it. buy it. buy it. starting off, or want to give your assualt rifle a break, or parents with nagging kids-----everyone goes home a winner!!! |

| Review: |
I had only been paintballing a few times in my life, and decided that i ought to be more involved in it so, I recently bought this gun off ebay. At first i regretted it once i saw a great deal on a tippman 98 in my local classifieds (Found out it was sold anyway) But once i used it i was really quite impressed. Its acctually really accurate even With the stock barrel, and alot more powerfull than I expected. Even though the trigger is made of cheaper plastic, it's no big deal. The rest of the gun seems really high quality which is great. It acctually looks pretty sweet to, and doesnt seem to chop balls which is also really nice. Over all, I'm really impressed with this gun. I Cant see the point of buying another gun thats more expensive for the kind of paintballing im planning on doing. I dont see anything better about a tippman(Although I havent used it for ahwile) So i'm glad i bought this gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recommend buying it if your not planning on doing really intense paintball (only going out to the field less than 10 days a month or just playing around with your friends.) If you wanted to do really extreme paintball You would probably be better off going with a high end marker but i was really pleased with it, and would recomend it to anyone getting into paintball, or that only does it a few times a month. |

| Review: |
My friend bought this gun when he just started painballing because it was a cheap gun. He let me borrow it because i wanted to test it out. It's a very bad gun. You might think that it is as good as its cousin, the Icon Z but it is much worse. The trigger feels really cheap and has a long pull. In my expirience, it has been a waste of CO2 and breaks at least five paintballs out of 100. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you are just begining and you want a gun that might make you look like you have a nice gun, even though you dont, get it. |

| Review: |
I am realtively new to paintball .... ive only played a few rounds. most of the time i play with my friends a5 or my other friends customs. i decided to buy a cheap gun and expected to get ripped off but i wasnt. this gun is pretty decent and very good for the money... shure it dosent mesaure up too other guns but it is great for a temporary fix or a back up gun. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would buy it if I needed a gun for cheap. |

| Review: |
I got this as my very first gun, and i am pretty happy with it. I was looking for a good gun with a low price tag, and this was it. THe gun it self works fine except fot a few minor thing:
THe gun some time does no fully recock
bad on co2
accuacy
some screws come loose
other than these things i loved the gun, an it was a great starter, one time i even got up to 9bps |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a very good starter gun, for the price. just make shure to keep it clean,and u shouldnt have any problems |

| Review: |
Well, ive only put about 200 balls through it, so i cant really say much about performance. my 200 shots were good though, no breaks, jams or any other stupidity. Watch the saftey though, its easy to pop through ;)
I really like my icon x, im thinking of half-backing it and definitely buying a new trigger frame. take out the venturi for better air conservation -- this gun seems like an air hog, but it may have been that my Co2 wasn't full when i got it.
***********************************UPDATE*******************
************************
I went ballin yesterday, and i shot only about 150 balls. not one chopped, and i held my own against a shocker ( i think, i didnt get very close), '92 cocker, an angel and a rental 98c (and all of them had at least 5 years+ experience). im not saying this gun is comparable to an angel or anything, but i gogged a guy faster than he could lay down 16 bps on me, it only takes 1 hit. (but 16 per second DOES increase the chances ;-p)
its funny though, my team of 3 (my icon, a stock m98, and an e-cocker/phantom... he was really good and switched after a few games to the pump) beat the other 4 in every game. i was quite surprised! |
|
| Conclusion: |
I'll upload pics of my icon when i get a cam, because the ones that are there are a shame to the icon x. |

| Review: |
This is the best gun that you can buy, its fast, relyable, accurate, quiet and cheap. I bought it and expected something crappy but i took it out and it was ok. I then bought a new barrel, WOW! What a difference, extreamly quiet and accurate, and also very very fast (both FPS and rate of fire). With the new barel on my second day I was getting a 4 to 1 kill ratio with 5 person teams. If you are a pro or are new to this game BUY THIS GUN!!! |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy This Gun Its The Best Gun You Can Get |
