Brass Eagle Samurai-crap
Brass Eagle Blade-also crap
-both nowhere near acceptable |
|
| Marker Setup: |
Rebel Bottomline w/VL 12inch barrel, VL200 loader, 16 oz tank CO2 |
|
Recommended
Upgrades: |
-new barrel (ported and fluted preferably)
-expansion chamber |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
-good rate of fire (6bps)
-good fit and finish
-comfortable grip
-great color (green)
-good durability
-low price ($80)
-good weight and balance
-does not freeze up
-does not shoot hot too often
|
|
| Weaknesses: |
-paintballs breaks frequently w/stock barrel
-accuracy is not good with stock barrel
-gun will not reload automatically sometimes
-eats CO2 kind of fast, I fire 200-350 rounds per game |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would highly recommend this gun to anyone. It can compete with more expensive guns with listed upgrades, and will still be cheaper! Get it if you want to. Will not break down unless not properly cared for. Get it if you want a affordable, reliable, accurate gun to start out with or to keep as a back-up in case your primary breaks down. |

| Marker Setup: |
Rebel Bottomline with Palmer Stabilizer, CMI Tru-Flight Barrel, 20 oz tank, Bob Long Delrin bolt, 32* Large drop forward, 12V revvy......... |
|
Recommended
Upgrades: |
You NEED the Palmer Stabilizer!!! The best thing for CO2! A new barrel |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
This marker is CHEAP!!! I got mine for like $50 on the net.
Very simple internals! If something breaks down, you almost know what the problem is already just by hearing the marker shoot.
Upgradable like crazy!!!
Doesn't break paint at all! I can shoot Brass Eagle's through it and work fine.
32* will send free parts if you have a problem with your rebel! |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Under-rated!
The stock barrel sucks like all of them....Just buy a new one.
It does tend to freeze when firing like crazy in the cold weather...Easily fixed with a Palmer
|
|
| Conclusion: |
I have had this marker for 1 year now and it has been the greatest marker I have gotten....It is reliable, simple, cheap, and very upgradable....People say that many things go wrong with this marker. WELL....IF YOU MAINTAIN IT PROPERLY, IT'LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND. Mine is still holding up and now I'm entering tourneys with it....I can't wait until 32* makes the Electro Trigger for the Classic rebels like this one....
GO OUT AND BUY THIS REBEL RIGHT NOW! YOU WON'T BE LET DOWN....IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, PM ME ON THE FORUMS....

|
| Review: |
As i said up there.....not a very good all around gun....SUPER HARD TO CLEAN..And also it cant handle cheap paintballs.VERY innacurate....breaks easily......screws aren't tightened when it arrives in box. The gun isnt "Ready to go" out of the box... cant handle cheap paintballs..Although the gun isnt very upgradable.....stock for a newbie isnt too bad. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would only recomment this product to a begginer....not someone who would play in tournements.. Only to a beginner because it only meets the needs and accuracy of a new player playing woodball.....not fastball... |

I haven't encountered one yet |
|
| Review: |
the gun is good for beginner semi-auto users. i have used this gun for a year and have liked it all the time. My friends and people i havne't even known have complimented on my gun. it has only chopped a few balls and has been faithful in eliminating many foe. |
|
| Conclusion: |
good for beginners and is actually quite light. It shoots straight even with the stock barrel on. |

|
Recommended
Upgrades: |
I would look at getting a new barrel but the stock barrel is pretty good |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
- Shoots fine with stock
- Cheap
- Reliable
- Different Colors
- Good range
- Good customer service from 32*
- Good with cheap paint
- Cheap to upgrade
- Can use spyder barrels
There is plenty thats good about it |
|
| Weaknesses: |
- loses lots of c02 when unscrew tank ( use only 9 ounces so you use them all up ) other than that there is really nothing wrong with it.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall, this gun is just awesome. I bought it for 70 from a friend. Just last game I took out 2 tippmanns by myself. Definatley get this gun if you find it for cheap. If you find any problems you can always call customer service. This gun truthfully compares to tippmanns and pirahnas. I think it outdos spyders though. |

Recommended
Upgrades: |
barrel, the stock barrel sux |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
excellent accuracy!, i especially like the velocity adjuster, also has a great price! I have only had this gun for about 2 weeks now, and i have only used it once, but i loved it! It is by far the best bang for the buck. The stock barrel is good for speedball, and i especially like the ambidextrous cocking on it. the gun is very easy to dissasemble and clean. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Well, the stock barrel and bolt suck, but if you replace them... nothing is bad |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would recommend this gun to n e one. Especially tournament players that need backups. But for those backyard bashers, this is a great gun to use because you don't spend much money. |

| Review: |
It can ge a good gun when you get the upgrades for it otherwise its crap.The barrel sucks need at least a 14" because the stock is only 10" long. I play only with my friends so thats why I have this gun. It's great if you just mess around. |

| Conclusion: |
good gun for beginners and for the money but, you get what you pay for. |

Original Shocker 4x4 w/turbo (#5016), Smart Parts grip and gadget grip, CP lightning drop, bottom mounted Maxflo reg, All American barrel, Halo B, 68/3K Crossfire Stub |
|
Recommended
Upgrades: |
Barrel first, although I've seen worse stock barrels. It already has the vertical adaptor, so it is very easy to put on an expansion chamber. |
|
|
|
|
| Strengths: |
Good performance for the price. Can be customized for cheap. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Limited ROF, very high pressure, outdated powerfeed |
|
| Review: |
This is basically a beginner's marker. It is priced for younger players and those on a tight budget. However, for around 100 dollars, it performs better than expected. It comes with the vertical adaptor for an expansion chamber, and takes Spyder threaded barrels. It does run at about 800 psi, so a thicker paintball is preferred. The double trigger is fine for its job, but will limit high rates of fire. These markers come with either left or right handed powerfeeds, which lets you pick the proper side for your dominant hand, but crossfeeds have become outdated by vertical feeds. While they may hide your hopper better, it's only if you're coming out of the appropriate side of a bunker, and they require unbalanced, clumsy elbows. If Rebel would throw on a vertical feed, this 'gun would really be something. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very good decision for its target market. If you prefer a powerfeed over a vertical, take this over the similar Spyder Victor. |

| Review: |
Good gun for a beginner who is just starting out. Dont spend more than $90 on it. I upgraded mine and its not too bad as a backup gun. I do like the trigger and grips. Do not get it if you are a serious baller, or lookin to be in any tournaments. But I would reccomend it as a first gun for a begginner. And grease the bolt well, otherwise it will scratch up the inside of the marker. It is durable, and will not break on you. I liked it as a start gun, and is good for rec ball. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get it if your a beginner. If you are looking for a high quality semi marker, you will be dissapointed with it. |

none really |
|
| Review: |
the electronic trigger is a must have first of all, otherwise the basic setup for it works pretty good, i dont really recomend many more upgrades, i havent really tried them yet.i cant give u too much information besides its a pretty good gun. umm...if your a newby dont buy all the upgrades for it untill your sure that you are going to get seriouse about that gun and paintballing. |
|
| Conclusion: |
a really good starter gun to have because the basic setup is good as long as u have the electronic trigger. |
