| Strengths: |
Great for beginners and as a back up gun, great price, good accuracy and range, i can beat people that have semi-autos with it, you can get about 45-55 shots with a 12 gram cartridge, it dosen't chop many balls (i chopped about 7 with it), very light trigger pull, very well balanced, strips down with out tools |
|
| Weaknesses: |
the pump sometimes gets stuck when your pulling it back to it's starting position |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get this gun (i got in a package for $60). It is very reliable, it never broke down on me and i never had to oil it. Get this gun! Get this gun! Get this gun! Get this gun! Get this gun! |

this gun was my first gun and i have had it ever since. i always keep it with me and use it as a back up.u cna put a sight on it and it shoots really acurate(i dont mean a 60$ sight).when i got a new barrel for my boss knight raider i put the old 1 on it and it is even more accurate.never breaks of jams and is really cheap. if u want you can make it like a semi by holding down the trigger and pumping. |
|
| Conclusion: |
its cheap n doesnt break. good a a back up or if you need an extra gun for friends |

| Review: |
All in all, this gun isn't that bad. I have an original Tigershark, with the black case, and I've had that for almost 7 years and it hasn't given me any trouble at all. I was lucky enough to have a friend that makes custom barrels, so i have an excellent 14" barrel on it and it works like a charm. If I could find a way to tinker with the velocity, this would make an excellent sniper rifle. It's a great gun for beginners and for people who just want to shoot for the fun of it, but I wouldn't recommend taking it to a course or tournament. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good beginner gun |

| Review: |
This gun is O.K. for a newbie.
Get a higher quality gun that's not plastic.
If your just starting you might wanna get this gun.
If you've already had other guns do not buy this.
The gun isn't very good it's ok
your getting what you payed for it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Don't buy unless a newbie.
Stay away from as most Brass Eagles as possible. |

doesn't use much gas. Gives arm nice workout. Good price |
|
| Weaknesses: |
No accuracy, stinks to pump, no shot consistency, |
|
| Review: |
I have a lot of fun playing with this marker against my wife and others new to the game to make an even playing field. Other than that it stinks. I do not understand how anyone who has shot any other kind of marker could possibly give this a 10! Seriously, double check your marker and make sure it is a Brass Eagle. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy this marker used for $10 to play those new to the game. |

| Review: |
Well this was my first gun and I thought it was awesome . I bought it off a friend for 10 bucks and the next day I was out in the woods playing with the big shots of my neighborhood who had autocockers , mags , and one with an Angel LCD . This gun never let me down .
It seems that the newer models are being badly made with cheaper plastic , so , you would be money ahead to buy a older but just as good model . |
|
| Conclusion: |
This was the best use of 10 bucks I ever did .
P.S my rating is for the price and category it's in . |

| Review: |
Well, this was my first marker. It served me well for a year, playing about once a month with a few buddies in the woods. Its great for that. I got the whole package (gun, mask, tank, plug, hopper, squeegee) for about $70. It got me into paintball, and thats probably one of its biggest strengths. I always throw it in my bag when I go to play, because I know there will be someone standing around just watching. I'll toss them an extra mask and my Tigershark and get them into the sport. I also carry it as a back-up when I play big games. (I'm a senario player) Well now on the the actual gun: the acuracy isn't bad considering what the gun is, and who made it. It will usually hit what you aim it at. Like I mentioned earlier, the ROF is quite low, but that can be expected from a BE pump. It did teach me to shoot acuratly, and not to "spray and pray." It doesn't eat gas to badly, I got 600 shots out of my 9 oz. (that was w/ all new O-rings and I think the guy over filled it, but, hey) The barrel really isn't that great, it looks more like something you would buy to fix a leaking sink than a marker barrel. But, there is really no point in spending money to buy an upgrade barrel for a BE product, (if they even make them). The stroke of the pump really isn't to bad if you lube the gun every once in awhile. It is made of plastic, and the place the elbow fits over is starting to crack. A little tape fixes that though. The gun is EXTEREMLY simple, it is about as complex as a blowgun. It is very easy to clean, just pull the pins and everything slides out. The gun is fairly balanced with a 9 oz. and a full 200 rounds hopper, but once you start shooting it becomes a little back heavy. It doesn't chop balls, as long as you know how to shoot a pump. The clear plastic makes it easy to detect double feeds. It has an auto trigger. Thats about it |
|
| Conclusion: |
All-in-all, for what it is, it is not a bad marker. There aren't any upgrades, it is plastic, the ROF is low, and it is BE. However it isn't bad on gas, it is semi-accurate, easy to take care of, and brings people into the sport. It is nothing compared to any type of tourney marker, but then again, its not ment for that. Because of things mentioned here, I'm giving it a 6. |

| Strengths: |
i used this in a little game of wood ball, very very acurate for a pumper, clearly out does some guns. Fast pump, good beginning gun, kinda quite, easy to carry and light. |
|
| Weaknesses: |
Its a pumper, which has a low rate of fire. Busts balls some. Does shoot to hard, loads a bunch of balls, doesnt shoot sometimes, and safty doesn't always work |
|
| Conclusion: |
Its a good little woodball gun for hittin targets and stuff, i used it and wanted to get one to play woodball with. Its a OK gun to me. |
