| Review: |
I got this gun a few weeks ago, I like it a lot, it is gas efficient, pretty accurate and is sturdy, it is pretty fast stock, and is easy to clean, how ever it is very hard to upgrade, you cant even remove the trigger, it has a huge micro switch in it making it kind of slow to shoot out of the box, but a trigger stop will correct that, the asa is annoying and sits bad on your shoulder |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would get this gun if you are starting out paint ball, and doesnt have very much money, but if you have around 130 dollars to spend get an oddesy rpm, which has eyes and ramping |

| Review: |
This gun is awsome. I've used this gun once but this is gun is very easy to clean and it is so easy to oil just drop a few brops of mineral oil into the co2 nozel of the gun and shoot it a few times and it spreads every where and thats all you gotta do. This gun is really accurate. I've put about 1500 + balls through this gun and it has not chopped a ball yet. All 3 modes work great. (Semi auto, 3 shot burst, and fully auto). |
|
| Conclusion: |
I highly recomend this gun system because it is so good for starrting and rec ball also I got the gun for $82 and it has been very reliabile. |

| Review: |
I'm a casual player so this review would best help newbies and rec players. With that said, here's my review:
After taking this gun out to the field and running a case or two of paint through it I have to admit that this gun is good for the price I paid for it.
The stock barrel isn't horrible but don't try to be a sniper with it.
Can be field stripped easily.
I didn't have any barrel breaks which I'll attribute to the anti-chop bolt and the fact that I was using decent field paint.
With the carbon fiber barrel (Mail in offer from Stryker) it's a little more accurate but a lot louder since it's not ported at all. Since I was only playing speed ball this is fine. Woods ball would be a different issue since your position would be easily be given away after firing one shot.
In semi this thing can be decently fast and the e-hopper isn't as bad as some reviews make it out especially at the price your paying for this set up. I say this because I went up against a bunch of folk with Ions, DM7, DM8, A5, and probably a bunch of Spyders and I was able to hold my own. Their rate of fire is better than what this marker can spit out but ideally you want to be able to have one shot one kill but that's just one person's opinion.
Since I started off with a Tippman Model 98 (the first model before they added Custom and Custom Pro features to the product) as my first maker you learn a thing or two about making efficient kills rather than just laying out a line of paint and taking out your target with sheer volume ie. Angel vs Model 98. With this gun it's a lot easier to get a higher rate of fire than a standard Model 98 but a stock Ion with a decent e-hopper will out pace the EMX-1000. The claim is 13bps but it's a little difficult to get that off with the stock trigger. Might just be me though.
If your familiar with the Spyders design, the EMX-1000 is very similar and I believe is the exact design as a VL Voltage. So finding upgrades should be very easy but you can do decently well with this thing stock.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
If you only play once in a while or are on a budget and don't want to use rentals then pick up this gun.
It's very easy to take care of and for the price you get some decent features. |

| Review: |
the emx 1000 is a good beginer gun. Its cheap and comes with a decent hopper for somebody just starting. as soon as possible upgrade to compressed air. the c02 changes about 50 fps every shot. shooting air it will change about 10-15 fps every shot. The gun package comes with a mail in order for a stryker 12 inch barrel. Good barrel very accurate but you have to wait 2 months to get it. After the first time your velocity will start to fall but a new spring will fix it. (about 8 bucks) after 4 days of playing you should change the battery. the hopper battery dies REALLY fast but still works will without juice. after my 10th time playing the PLASTIC bolt broke (whos stupid enough to uses plastic?) atfer sitting around all day I found an old steel spider bolt that fit with some ajustments. (two hours of adjustments) i went to recrono and couldn't get the gun over 200 fps (most courses play at 280) the tech was stumped. I gave up on it and i think im looking into an invert mini. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it if you think your only going to play a few times. beginers would be better with a tipmann 98. the styker isn't upgrade able. Vets souldn't think about this gun. It wont last over 5000 balls if your playing hard. |

| Review: |
This is a great begginer marker. It is affordable and ready for play. Not amazing for woodsball but still alright, great for recball and speedball. Comfortable grip and the modes are cool. Also nice to have the anti-chop bolt not really having any problems with that. Overall great out of the box paintball gun |
|
| Conclusion: |
It is a great begginer marker and comes with a pretty good hopper. If you want a good gun thats affordable this is the one. |

| Review: |
I got this marker for fun to hang out with my little brother without beating him too bad. All in all if you are a rooky looking for a marker, but not a Semi Auto or Pump you should look into it. It's understood that it's not going to be a Bob Long or even a Pilot, but it's still going to be a great decision for the money. In the conclusion I'll show you the prices and final verdict, but just for now I do have to say it's well worth the money. This gun fires around 10-12 shots a second in auto and about 15 Pbs in 3 shot burst. The trigger is a little bit "Iffy" as far as comfort, but while your out there playing; it doesn't matter. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This marker is only for rookies not if you've played for about a year or so. Add $100 bucks at Action Village with a standard Remote $30 and a 20oz Co2-$20 or a Nitrogen tank-over $100 with a set of grips $25, and one nice barrel $40, and you got a premium Comp. spec rooky killing machine, if you are a rooky. Thats a little over $200 for premium equipment. A very impassable deal. It gets a 7 for only appealing to Rookies. |

| Review: |
This is a very reliable gun thats shoots very well and is great for the price. Although uprgadeable parts are not the easiest to find because this is not i very popular marker but if you can find upgrades i would definately get them. Overall this is an amazing gun for the price and is super reliable. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I would deffinatley get it if you do not have the money for a more expensive gun or even if you do have more money for a better gun i would still get this one and upgrade it. |

| Review: |
Got this gun as a backup. It's nice for the price. Good for rec-ball, but it's not a real tournament marker. With quick fingers, you can get maybe 13bps. I was hitting around 12 the day I used it.
The trigger is very solid and easy to walk, but it's not adjustable. It didn't come with a delrin bolt, but then again, for 100 bucks, you can't expect it to.
If you're playing budget tight paintball, grab it. But for an extra forty bucks, the vs1 is much better and reliable.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Great for the price, but you might as well save up an extra hundred and get the VS1 and a hopper. |
