Review:
Well, it's a 12 gram changer. Normally, there wouldn't be much to say. It is, however, made by Brass Eagle, a company not exactly known for quality products. The puncture pin FELL OUT. Halfway through my first day playing with it, the entire pin assembly fell out and I had to search the woods to find it. I did, and was able to put it back in, but I simply don't trust it anymore. It might have been a fluke, and hopefully not all of their 12 gram changers have the same problem.
[EDIT]
Well, I played again and had no problems. It seems that you just have to make sure the pin is screwed in tightly before each game.
Conclusion:
If you can get a different brand, do it. I got Brass Eagle because it was the only one left at my local shop.
This is the only 12g adapter I have used, and dont really see why you need a different one, its a simple thing that never breaks
Marker Setup:
Medium modded Ion, Heavily modded PCS US-5, Heavily modded Stingray, Talon turned into a side cocking pistol.
Strengths:
Its a chunk of metal, it cant break.
Weaknesses:
I dont think there are any
Review:
I dont get the whole "brass eagle + crap" mentality, I think its just something "cool" to say.
If you get one of these and it breaks either you are using it to deflect gunfire, or you got a defective one.
The first gun I ever had was a Brass Eagle Stingray, came with a 12g adapter, that was damn near 15 years ago, I used it for a year fully, off and on since, I have never changed the oring, and never done anything but use it. I have used it as a hammer more than for its intended purpose, It still works.
Conclusion:
If you need one, or want one, I put one on my US-5 for *S* and giggles, and it still works fine. go for it. Brass Eagle made some bad products (who hasnt), but that doesnt mean everything they touch is crap. Thats just stupid High School-like BS
