Cheap not bad priced shoots good |

Has that clanging noise most poly guns do |
|
| Review: |
Over all its pretty rugged not like a tippmann but will stand up to most wooded players barrel is spyder so there are some cheap good barrels out there i would say it is a good starter gun if you are short on cash internals seem to be all spyder parts the grip has a molded base were the asa is that seems to be cheaply made but it should hold up |
|
| Conclusion: |
Beginner or starter gun for wood play u can upgrade the internals with better stuff and it seem to get the noise down if you want a starter gun there are many to choose from this is the best poly type that i would say buy it if you like the look it does shoot pretty good with a new barrel i used a phat barrel system and i was inpressed |

| Review: |
Look I've played paintball for 4 years when my cousin who had this gun shoed it to me. My friend was over and he had his Ion with him so we played a game. I must say I may not have won but this gun really held it's own. Seriously this is an amazing gun for only 60$. If your starting or need a lighter more accurate gun then well get this!
P.S.
My Marker Setups Vary This is Just Current. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great gun especially for the price paid! |

| Review: |
I borrowed this from a kid on the field to test it out and it was embarrasing. I thought that it would be quasi-decent, but it's just a Brass Eagle Marauder shoved into a different body. If you look at the pictures, you might actually think that it has a real RIS rail on top. Wrong, it's a FAKE rail, and that was dissapointing. Also, you're limited to a lower rate of fire because this thing also chops like a Marauder. This is a just K2's attempt at making another milsim gun and failing. I played with this kid's 9oz and he just filled it up. Before i got through 300 rounds, it ran out on me. I know Spyders that can get more off a fill.
The gun did feel good in my hands, however. That's why i thought it would be decent. It's a solid gun on the outside, but it lacks range/accuracy and the CO2 efficiency that i'm used to in the guns i normally use. The stock hopper it comes with is not what you want to be using at the field or in the woods. It screams out that you're there and people will shoot and you. |
|
| Conclusion: |
In conclusion, don't bother with this gun. Even if you're trying to get into the sport, this gun is too much of a hassle and when you're getting beat each time, you'll want to quit. Get a spyder or a Tac-5 if you're into the woodsball thing. You can get a tac-5 for roughly ten dollars more than this gun, and it has more upgrades and such. |

| Review: |
Well i was shopping on the holidays, and my nephew has been whanting a semi-automatic gun, so i saw this for 60$ or something like this and it had come witht he stuff to play. so he opened it up and loved it, i gave him 15 paint balls and he shot a barrel 50-60 feet a way, and 7/15 of the shots hit the barrel, i dont know if it was his aim or what and it was not windy out either, so its way lighter than my a-5 and durable but not as durable as my a-5, its great for the money, one thing you are going to need is a better barrel for sure, you can get a cheap ones at Dick's or wal-mart for less than 40$.
my nephew just played a game with me today, and the gun worked great, in the woods with the wind blowing maby 5-10 mph i let him get 5 free shots at me and 3/5 hit me but one was in the arm and the other was in the waist and the last was in the forearm. so the gun is fairly accurate but not the most. and its very light weight and is easy wo move around the woods with. |
|
| Conclusion: |
The gun is cheap and all right, i think brass eagle did a ok job on it, its probaly one of there best guns made in a long time, they used to make good guns, but anyway its great if you are new and need a decent woodsball gun. |

| Review: |
There is a reason that this marker is cheap. It is absolutely horrible. It kept chopping up the balls and the trigger was always getting stuck. This marker is a disappointment. I would not recommend it to anyone. Sometimes when i took shots, the hopper actually popped off. The refs at the field that I was playing had no idea why the marker was chopping balls up. I know it was not the paintballs that I was using because my friend had a Spyder and he was shooting just fine. In additin, when I ditched my marker and got the rental, I had no chopping problems. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Save an additional $30 and get a "decent" marker |

| Review: |
Well great starter marker, has decent pre set upgrades such as double finger trigger, tactical front hand grip, it has spyder threads for barrels up-grades wich is a must do for even a decent game of wood ball but perfect for semi auto CQ scrapping, but with my experience so far with this marker is Wow it is in my opnion the AK of the marker low end world so reliable,hardly chops, powerful, accurate (depending on barrel & distance) with the right up grades & MAINTENANCE! this gun can definately punch above its weight as i have done! perfect for woodball and games belows spesh gettysburg/ rork's drift (brit version) and starlingrad but not rambo doesn't have the BPS, reasonable on Co2 effeciency but the stock hooper must go its ergonomics are $h!t always being seen from a mile away yet for some reason the action seems to get closer wich is perfect for ambush drills wich my team alwayz use :P as a result im not complaining 137 confirmed elimnations with this and still going strong! |
|
| Conclusion: |
If i had to give advice on this i would say keep mainting it & alwayz oil it after a match or duing a tourny cept for that buy decent paintballs and you'll be on the road to victory (but remember this is only for begginers or to be used as a back up for experienced players only like moi ) and as ya can tel i love this marker so its a ................... |

| Review: |
This is overall a great gun, very much like an Ak-47. Its cheap and easily found. It does get a little inaccurate when rapid firing. The barrel really sucks. I was shooting pretty fast once and the pin went flying out and the bolt hit me in the mask. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I really like this gun, its not as good as my Spyder Victor 07 but it gets the job done. It makes a great starter gun. |

| Review: |
I bought this gun on a whim in the store one day cuz it came in a set and was only $60. I was interested to see if Brass Eagle had finally made a good marker. With the T-Storm, they actually have made a pretty good marker for the price. The accuracy is good for beginners and it's easy to clean and take care of. It's also good for younger kids because of that and the fact it wieghs practically nothing. This is because of the poly body...however, this gun is pretty loud. Trigger pull is rediculous and a new hopper is def. needed. Overall not too bad tho...I have it in my gear bag as a backup for my MR1.
Addon:
Just shot it more...doesnt chop a whole lot. Course it shoots so slow how could it?? But this gives it a 7. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Pretty good. Recommend to new players just getting into woodsball or scenario (dont get this if you speedball. At 7 bps you'll get eatin alive...) Also is an ok and CHEAP backup for experienced players. |

I've tried out many different guns but by far this was the best. At first i thought it wuld be crap. but then I got some new parts and I'm happy with it. I took out guys with tippmans. I was like hey this guns pretty good. I would recommend this gun for any woodsball player its easy to maintain and it hits the targets. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend this gun for novice a begginer woodsball players. Its great for the price |

| Review: |
This is a very good starter set. If you get this marker upgrade the barrel and hopper. This gun does chop some balls, but not tht much. If your a beginner id recomend you get this. I Just got this gun and i like it very much, but then again i just started playign woodsball, but ive played speedball before and the guns are completley differetn |
|
| Conclusion: |
get this if your a beginner, it has the same set up as a tipman 98. THIS IS A WOODSBALL GUN !!!!! dont get this if your gonna play speed ball. |
