| Review: |
This paintball pistol got be the best there is out there. One nice feature that I can really like is the quick co2 replacement. I hated the Zues because I have to fight with the knob everytime I have to swap the 12g out. The PT is even worse, that darn thing leaks like crazy!!! Really I mean it leaks and I ended up have to tight the knob even more. This paintball pistol is really reliable I have used it multiple times during the game as backup as well as using it as my primary weapon when I feel the need to kill. This paintball pistol rocks when playing capture the flag. I can out run them suckers easy without breaking a sweat. If you want to play light and need something to back you up. This paintball pistol got be your first choice |
|
| Conclusion: |
Always have a backup, you never know when someone try to bunker you |

| Review: |
Overall, this pistol is a heck of a bargain for ( well, WAS $99. Now it looks like it jumped back up to$150. Sorry guys :( :( ) Let's go into the problems first.
When I got the T68 pistol, the ball detent was stuck open from sitting in the uncocked position while the lok-tite they used on the ball detent set up. So what I did was worked a little oil into it and scraped the extra lok-tite away. It's fixed, and not all of them may be like that, but be prepared.
Also, If you take notice to the pictures, the trigger has a composite plastic "shoe" that hangs loose. It is really comfortable, but I was playing with it right out of the box and it cracked kind of in the middle. Im in the process of getting a new one.
A word of warning that no one has said yet: Do your best not to use Crossman-style powerlets, as they jam in the pistol and you will destroy the o-ring removing it. The powerlets Im talking about do NOT have a smaller shoulder on the tip of it, the kind that works correctly will have a smaller-diameter shoulder on the edge. (look at the designs of the ones that are made for paintball) The Crossman-style nipples are the same diameter from the front of the nipple to the back of the nipple with a small groove.
As for the other statements that it likes really expensive paint, well, thats all more likely a factor of paint-to-barrel match, isn't it??? ;-)
Now, the pluses, this thing is really light and just really cool looking. Also, the magazine changes a lot quicker than I would have thought, much quicker than a lot of other pistols Ive encountered. But you don't really need an extra mag, just pop open the back of the mag and pour in the 10 round tube baby!
And it's not [I]that[/i] loud. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If it's not entirely perfect when you get it, email them right away. Other than the small defects (I think I got a shelf potato anyways) Its a great pistol and a great buy. You won't be dissapointed.
It's almost idenical an Overlord without the weaver rail garbage, and I'm sure most parts are interchangable. Since they're priced the same, you should pick your fancy.
Despite the small defects I got out of my T68 pistol, it deserves a........ |

| Review: |
Didn't read the manual first (again) before trying out a new marker. Realized that you have to have this pistol cocked before putting in the CO2 cartridge. Fixed that mistake and tested it outside. Felt rather like a real pistol: the weight and the recoil. Very accurate too from about fifty feet away (which really surprised me, but then, this is my first paintball pistol). Has a nice contoured, non-slip grip on the handle. |
|
| Conclusion: |
A must have for a back up sidearm. I hope to buy another and a cross-draw holster that will fit them. |

| Review: |
recomended to me by a friend, and the review on this website, I had high expectations for this gun, however, the build quality of this gun was sub par, it was very inaccurate, suprisingly loud and doesn't work with well with cheep rec ball paint. Although this gun is a useful sidearm, I believe it to be way over rated, falling way short of my Tiberius pistol.l. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overated, inaccurate, loud, but make an adequate side arm. |

| Review: |
It is a really good side arm i use it every time i play some times just for fun and me and my friend have all been really impressed wit hit performence.
It is hard to learn to use but if you take it to a local paintball shop they will teach you how to clean and use it. once you learn how it is farly easy.I liked this a lot better thaqn the zuez it ahs more accurazy and is very trustworth and it is all around good i recommend buying CROSSMAN co2 cartage they work good :).there are some downs to it. Its a bit loud and sometimes the CO2 cartrage sometiems ( in the cold) gets stuck......
other than that its a really good product. my friend has a zeus and we compared them and the T68 Beat it in distance and accurasy and its a bit lighter ( even thoe no pistol is really light). |

| Conclusion: |
I liked this a lot better thaqn the zuez it ahs more accurazy and is very trustworth and it is all around good i recommend buying CROSSMAN co2 cartage they work good :) |

| Review: |
Read the reviews and did my homework and decided to buy this marker as my back-up. This thing is made of high grade parts and is VERY durable. Construction is solid and you never have to worry about being rough with this marker. It fits into your hand very well and there is no problem squeezing your finger into the trigger guard.
I found that you can get about 20-22 shots per 12 gram of CO2. It didn't like the paint that I had laying around just to target shoot with, but a couple good shots just flat-out sailed a good distance and the rest wasn't too bad. It chopped the first ball everytime I loaded it, but again this was probably due to the age of the paint and quality.
I tried speeding loading it, and with the CO2 system easily accessible and the paintball loader a no-brainer, it is pretty easy. A cool-head under fire will be able to get it done without too much stress when you have to use it.
Still looking for a holster to put this in, because it doesn't fit in my tactical vest or in a PMI holster so far. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great buy for a pistol duel or for a back-up in Scenario play. It is a load to carry on you, but if you want to make sure you have an equalizer to carry in case of emergency, this is it. |

Many airsoft pistols, it builds my confidence when the BBs are magazined and don't rattle and the snap of a gas blowback helps greatly in counting shots. |

Upgrades: |
Speedloader tubes, maybe extra magazines if you can afford it. The laser sight that replaces the CO2 knob could make a world of difference. Keep extra CO2 nipple seals handy, they're not hard to replace if you use a soft, pointy object to pry them out. |

Small, compact, very integrated. Several external options. Fast reloading. Lightweight. Remarkable design. Spyder barrel threaded. |

| Review: |
This is the first paintball marker I've paid for, and I don't regret it a moment. I chose this pistol over some others, such as the Overlord, because it seemed to have all the stuff that was useful and many things that were not. It's also very expandable and that was key to my purchase, but I haven't bought any of the options yet.
Another, more personal part of me choosing a pistol is because I am asthmatic and it's hard enough to move around without also being weighed down by equipment. With less stuff, I can be much more mobile and stand a better chance dodging paint and moving quietly.
Using cartridges liberates me from refill stations, but they can be more expensive and obviously they don't go as far. I'd have to recommend the RAP4 camouflage cartridges, they really are less visible and they're finished in gloss.
I have my sights (tee hee) set on the laser pointer that replaces the knob for the CO2 cartridge, and though the hopper adapter, the ASA adapter, and the stock could be useful for some players, I would prefer to go without them.
I had to make a few changes for my preference...
I added a washer to the rear screw on the handle assembly to make the handle fit more flush with the body and keep the screw from keeping the velocity lug held in, I wonder if they used the wrong screw.
I put an o-ring on the CO2 knob to keep it from rattling when it's loose.
I drilled a hole in the magazine plug and leashed it to the retaining pin with a wire tie so I won't lose either in game. The pin doesn't rattle anymore, also.
I removed the nuts at the bottom of the handle because they rattled, I'll save them for if I ever get the ASA adapter.
I used a nail file to soften the somewhat sharp edges where the casts of the handle were bonded.
I layered double sided tape underneath the magazine with a thin piece of plastic to add compression and keep it from rattling.
The marker also comes with an optional velocity screw to put more weight on the spring. I haven't chronographed it yet but I don't believe I'll need it.
I haven't had a chop yet, but the balls sometimes get held up by the spring tension. If a ball won't feed, I just have to push the spring a bit and let them roll along. This may be due to my cheap paint shrinking or deforming, or even the texture of it.
It's not quite a gunshot, but this marker is loud. The barrel is Spyder threaded so a perforated barrel might dampen the shots a bit.
Disassembly and reassembly is very easy, but I've had a lot of practice taking things like this apart. If you can find a clean place to work, it's very field strip-able and easy to oil.
The CO2 nipple seal dries out very quickly, you should make a habit of oiling it with each CO2 cartridge.
This is a very sturdy and well designed marker and I'm sure it easily succeeds it's variants, but like any tool, it needs care and even as a backup marker, it needs just as much attention and care to be reliable. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would easily recommend this as a primary for patient, cool-headed people or as a secondary for anyone else. It's still perfectly reliable after the dozens of times I've taken it apart, it doesn't seem too paint-picky and gives you a different, lightweight option for propellant. |

This pistol is awesome. Its my first pistol and I'm not dissapointed. Its accuracy is great; it never broke a ball when I tried it the first time today. The size of it is pretty big. It's a bit loud, but hey it could scare people. Putting in the CO2 cartridge is nothing.
The only problem I had was trying to remove the empyt CO2 cartridge. Everytime I tried taking it out it shoots out scaring the hell outa me. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Other than that this pistol is awesome. I definitely recommend it if you need a backup. I'm just going to use mine as my main marker (sounds stupid but I'm crazy.) |

| Review: |
After playing a few scenario games, I thought that it would be fun to have a pistol, so I ordered one. When my pistol came I gassed it up and loaded it. I fired at a soda can at 50 feet and I was able to hit it on the first shot. I then tried speed loading it, and it was nice and easy. The T68 fits your hand like a glove, and the nice rubber grips make it comfortable to hold. The magazines are easy to change so you save precious time during a game.
Using this in a regular rec game, I had people looking at my pistol and that really intimidated them. I loved how they ask me if it hurts. This pistol saved me in 3 games I played so far. Now I don't have to sit out the rest of the game because I ran out of gas during a game. |
|
| Conclusion: |
It's a really nice pistol with nice features. It saved me from being bunkered and ambushed a bunch of times so that's a plus. You will not regret buying this. Just make sure you read the manual ; ) |
