Review:
I bought this marker when my local shop, which happens to be paintball wholesalers, lowered the price down to $575 (since they had to clear them out) and i must say, it is one of the best markers ive ever used. the speed on this thing is incredible, i started out with ramping totally off, and i could easily walk the trigger and keep up with any other gun out there. with the different levels of ramping its easy to find a setting that is right for you. on any setting this gun can totally rip. i think the gun looks great, the milling all over this thing is beautful, it even has milling on the trigger. the first day i got it, i decided to test out the accuracy and on a tree, i got a 3 inch circle from 15 yards through a hopper. this thing weighs much less then it looks, and is much smaller then it looks also. getting tight is easy with this gun. the weakness i found on this gun, is that it comes with a drop forward and the smart parts on/off. the smart parts on off isnt very good, doesnt bleed the air and is generally a pain. i switched over to the new designz on/off. also its a bit of a gas hog at first, not so much that you would run out of air in a game though. just get your dwell set better
Conclusion:
If you can find one used, get it. you cant get them new anymore, because nerves are out of production. these markers never got the justice they deserved (mainly due to delays, high prices and to much hype). you should be able to find these once in a while on the used market, pick it up.

Review:
First off, let me say that im not baging on this marker...But for the price there is nothing that really sets it apart from anyhing else. it is very fast, but so are ALL of the high end tourney guns. One thing that does set this gun apart is the INSANE ramping, which is really pointless. A littl bit of ramping is one thing but the gun I was alowed to try should not be legal. The bounce was so horribal it kept shoot full auto fror four seconds after i pulled my finger off the trigger. lightly walking the trigger, no more than seven or eight pulls a seconfd it let out a rope of a good twenty bps, which i found to be just stupidity, if someone cant shoot that fast then they dnt need too.
moving on... the gun looked very nice, basically a standard nerve with a big X on it and a few after market parts. I have shot the regular nerve and thi nerve and noticed no majotr performance difference.
the gun was vey light fairly well balenced, a little heavy on the back thought
As far as weaknesses go the gun is a Gas hog, I douubt I could get a thousand shots out of a 68 45 cool fill.
The accuracy was very good but, personaly that is due to a good paint to barell match, more than the gun.
Conclusion:
well, this gun is not a bad gun, but I did not feel that is was anything special. It is certainly no reacson reason to run out to the local pb store and buy one, but to each their own. I am not personally a big fan of the nasty customs, but I have heard some positive feed back on this marker.

Review:
Well the story is that i was over my friends house and he bought a spider electra and i had an old ion but it was upd and i was happy,well since the electra sucks and broke my friend got a full refund,well i went online and saw that paintball eholesalers had the new nerve for 475 so i told him if he bought it i would trade him my ion so we went to buy it and they accidentaly gave me the nasty x nerve(which is way better and worth more and already has a bunch of cool stuff on it) but so we went from there to the field and i aired it up loaded my hopper and started playn.well wafter isaw how fast and accurate it was i dared to open it up and mess around,well i found out how to turn ramping all the way up and it is rly fast i mean i have owned still do and used angels and matrixs and egos and this gun can rly keep up wit them so i recomend this gun highly if u cant buy an angel cuz on the field u get alot of compliments and once u own a couple of people u get some respect but its good when u dont have respect cuz ull own ppl who think thell destroy u and ull end up to victorious 1
Conclusion:
definatly an amazing but they dont make them any more so if u can find one PICK IT UP its fast accurate and rare. AMAZING GUN,even compared to angels and egos

Review:
pros
the gun is well balanced,fast, and it looks very good. the bolt is very easy to take out to clean out a break (if you ever have one). its easy to maintain and VERY cheap. i would take it over a shocker anytime. 1) 475 vs 599. 2) comes with locking feed neck 3)shocker ok efficiency but nerve blows it out of the water 4) you can take the bolt out when it is aired up 5) if you take the barrel and the asa off both markers THEY WEIGH THE SAME!
cons
people bag at you for a having a "nerve" just cause it isn't expensive. keep in mind it came out for 1200 bucks and the shocker never past 899 with vision. but now to the cons. the trigger need some improvement, i personally like semi cause i don't waste as many balls and get people out but the timmy triggers are way easier to walk. also the stock drop and asa aren't that good get a new one.
Conclusion:
Get the gun its dependable and fast, good looking and efficient. What more can you ask?
First off this gun is amazing. It is extremely fast and accurate. This gun is upgraded enough so that you don't need to upgrade it. This gun will pick off anyone across the field. If your not a good shot you can just shoot a spray of paint and hit them. The nasty nerve already comes with an upgraded trigger so there is no need to buy a new one. Also this is one beautiful gun.
Conclusion:
If you are wanting to upgrade but not spend a lot of money go pick one up for only $475 go before they are all gone because my friend got one of the last ones yesterday.
