Open Class CCI Phantom- cheaper, work horse marker, stiffer pump stroke and trigger, takes more adjusting to when you first use it
Maverick- good starting pump
Custom built Sniper w/ ccm kit- cheaper, performs well, not as smooth pump, no Autotrigger |

Upgrades: |
A HPA tank, will run on CO2, but HPA gives tighter velocity results. A 13 or 22ci takes advantage of this marker's weight and balances well. |

| Review: |
Used to shoot a phantom, my teammate picked up a CCM ss-25 and I got a chance to shoot it and loved it. Decided to buy an S6.
First thing you notice is the weight. The S6 is milled very nicely and is far lighter than most snipers I have shot. Without barrel or tank an S6 weighs 2lbs 6 ounces. Through on a 2 oz CCM CF barrel, a small tank and hopper and it still almost weighs nothing.
Next you will notice is that the pump stroke is incredibly smooth. Smoother than any pump I have ever shot before. Without a return spring the gun can be cocked one handed just by shaking the gun back and forth. A return spring is recommended though because if you run chances are the gun will cock itself and you will get double feeds.
Out of the box without adjusting anything I threw on the 13ci and went to the chrono. Shooting decent paint through the CF barrel kit, it was shooting 275 +/-3. I shot it with my 3.5 oz and got +/- 7. Definitely recommend compressed air for this marker.
The 86* frame with inset grips is quite comfy. It may be a little thin for some but I wear gloves and really like the feel of it. The frame angle causes less arm fatigue and it feels more natural to play it tight then my phantom.
With the under-cocking, unlike the phantom, it is very easy to site down the barrel and puts my hand in a more comfortable position to shoot.
Of course this expensive of a pump marker has to look good. CCM did a great job with the milling on the gun and laser engraving. Its in my opinion the best looking pump gun out there short of a few custom milled and engraved markers.
And the marker has Autococker threads so you can use your favorite barrel kit on it. The CCM carbon fiber compliments the looks and the weight of the marker and I also recommend it.
Only weaknesses are the price and the stock barrel on the dust black marker. For a pump gun its very high, but this is the top of the line pump and I believe well worth the price. As for the stock barrel, on the dust black it is a one piece large bore barrel. It may be fine if you can find big paint but most my paint is .684-.686. All of it would roll right out this barrel and I did not get consistency or accuracy. However the gloss colors of the marker come with a 2 piece barrel similar to the CF barrel kit and will probably shoot better. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I highly recommend this marker for the serious pumper who wants quality, consistency and an overall excellent marker. If you can stomach the price or find one for cheap I would definitely pick it up. |

| Review: |
this gun is the ultimate open clase pump gun. it has everything.
quality- the best. it doesnt get any better. out of all the guns ive seen since i have started playing, this is on par with the best. out of all teh cockers i have seen, it probably is the best or equal to teh super high end custom ones....then again, it is chipley CUSTOM machine
appearance/first impression
LIGHT! for a full bodied cocker, it really doesnt get much lighter. i would put money on that. BEAUTIFUL! when people say pics dont do it justice, you cant understand till you see one. they are gorgeous. the milling and anoo are FLAWLESS. fit and finish is perfect and in par with the best gun made. oh yeah the grip is very very thin. it has hard plastic panels, and feels ok, but will probably be too small if you have a big hand. i can see some not liking it. i belive it would feel perfect with gloves on.
good stuff
well comes with a ccm on off and rail- quality. bolt is made of light delrin with 2 nub style detends with detend holes cut in teh bolt to reduce wear. it comes with a cmm heli clamp feed, and a ccm reg. good reg, but the fitting sticks out the side right into you hand, which sucks. the trigger is made of delrin, and is VERY light and snappy. easily the best trigger ive ever seen on a cocker. it really doesnt get much better out of teh box. better yet, its adjustable. insane. chipley outdid themselves.
the pump
OMG. this is on par with the smoothest pump ive ever used. this, and a carter buzzard are about tied, and that is saying something. the stroke on this is godly. it puts a phantom to shame. first off, it does not come with a return spring, so its stupidly light and will almost not stay closed unless your hand is on it (if you tilt it back it will almost recock). i find this stupid. we put a phantom spring in there and its still very light and smooth but returns. thre autotrigger works well, but different. when you autotrigger, the trigger actually moved forward and back as you pump, whereas a phantom just stays back. its an odd feeling coming from a phantom. rof is about as good as it gets for pump, and without any spring, probably better. if it was up to me, i would use a phantom spring and cut it so it was pretty darn light but enough to keep the botl closed.
performance
out of the box it was shooting like 270, but the reg wasnt perfectly sweetspotted, and it was inconsistant. at teh middle of the day (couple hundred balls later), we had it sweetspotted. but even after this it made a farting noise. chron was about +/- 8. we gotta get the reg broken in. because of these things and a new gun efficeicny wasnt the greatest, but will get better. not bad, but not tuned cocker like. i think it was like 1200-1300 or so if my estimate is close. i am probably off. with more tuning, and a broken in gun i would imagine it would be better.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
This is the ultimate open class pump marker. you can custom build a cocker, but to get the trigger, pump, beauty, and feel/lightness of this gun you will have to spend 500+ and to a lot of custom work. out of teh box, there is no better autococker pump gun. period. i think it would be perfect if the reg didnt have that retarded fitting coming out of the side, but that is minor considering how rediculous this gun is compared to everythin else in this class. |

CCM SS-25: essentially a similar gun in a heavier, blockier package. My brother shoots one and it is every bit as quality as the S6, just a little more ponderous.
Various CCM'd WGP pumps: Smooth, but not as impressive as the overall package of the S6. They are much cheaper, however. |

| Review: |
I received this marker [used] not really knowing what to expect. I had previously been a Nelson man myself [still own one Buzzard] and didn't know what to make of the California obsession with Snipers. I am happy to say that this is, hands down, one of the finest paintball markers with which I have ever come into contact.
Beginning with the basics, it is exceedingly light. That's not an unusual feat for a pump, but CCM really spared no mercy with the mill, and the S6 is shaved down to the proverbial bone. However, it still looks really, really good. And on a personal note, FIE on those who blaspheme the S6 with half- or mid-blocking. Sacrelige doesn't cover it.
Airing it up and strapping on tank/hopper/barrel is uneventful, again not so unusual for a pump...but nice. My setup [see above] balances nicely, and a number of configurations are possible. I have tried both the .45 and 86* frames; both are exceedingly well-designed and will form-fit into your hand with ease. I personally prefer the .45 frame [my vert frame career ended on a sour note with my IR3 back in the day] but the stock 86* is more than adequate for most people's tastes.
Pumping is almost literally effortless. I cannot overstate the smoothness of the pump stroke. Sterlings beware! Without a spring it can be easily cocked with a casual flick of the wrist; with the CCM spring [definitely worth $4 shipped from eBay] the bolt is held closed while running, and shooting without holding the pump handle won't sacrifice a lot of velocity, but the pump stroke is still as smooth as ever. Also, I might note, the mini pump handle [which I believe is stock now on S6s] is a better choice than the old CCM handle, just for weight purposes.
The trigger pull, thanks to a very smooth roller operation and the delrin trigger, is very snappy and clean. This is definitely an area where I think the CCM design really shines; I have shot other non-CCM Snipers, and no matter how much you tune a slider, in my honest opinion it simply cannot stand up to the CCM feel.
The shot itself is my favorite part of the marker. There are no traces of hammer bounce whatsoever. Gone are the days of embarrassingly flatulent shots; the sound signature is nothing but a solid, immensely satisfying CHUNK, followed by the even more satisfying sight of seeing your ball land on your opponent.
Maintenance is foolproof. Construction and quality are top-notch. Engineering bonuses and appreciated tweaks abound [screw slots for frame removal, including countersunk frame screws. Scooped-out pump guide for weight reduction. Intimidator/Spyder detents. The list goes on.]
I could write for days about this marker. I simply love it to death and given the option would shoot nothing else for OC pump play. It has earned a permanent spot in my gearbag, and is my go-to choice almost every day I play. As Ferris once said, "If you have the means, I highly recommend it." |
|
| Conclusion: |
The review rules say, "Be critical. Nothing is perfect." I usually agree, but this is one of the rare exceptions to that rule. The S6 is everything you could ever want in a paintball marker. Drop whatever you're doing, sell everything you own, and buy an S6. No matter how you were living previously, you will be a happier person. |
