| Review: |
The first thing you notice when you open the box and pick up the gun is how light and small it is.
The next thing you notice is the milling and annodizing quality. Man this thing looks like $1000+ guns in terms of that.
You get 2 ASA's to choose from. A standard twist knob asa and the revered RAPS Lever Lock ASA. You also get a nice 2 piece .690 barrel and a barrel condom. Along with that you get some o-rings in a baggy and some dangerous power stickers, a manual and warranty card.
Changes from 07 fusion.
The bolt is alot smaller and the reg is alot smaller. You get all the same modes as in the 07 v2 fusion except for full auto. It does have 25 BPS ramping so that makes up for it, unless you're lazy when you make your show off videos and have to hold down the trigger.
I havn't shot it over the chrono yet so I don't know how consistent the HPR is yet but the design is the same as the 07 fusion its just aesthetically different. It should be about +/-5 or so. I will update later on that.
Speed and Performance
I shot a whole pod with this thing and there was little to no kick to speak of. I was shooting it with a Hard Corps Torque loader with only 1 9v when it can use 2 9v's. Achieved 21 BPS easily. Gold waved and all.
I haven't played with it yet so I cannot comment on its consistency right now or how many shots you can get, but I believe its around 1800 shots on 68/45. I'll be putting it through its paces this coming weekend of the 3rd and 4th of November at a 24 hour scenario game.
Future Upgrades
In the future Virtue will be producing a board and I believe Tadao is looking into it too. Dangerous Power will be coming out with a whole line of after market parts for it including new bolts and hyper color kits. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a great marker for a great price. It will keep up and perform the same as some $1000+ dollar markers out there for a fraction of the cost. The customer support of DP is top notch and they actually come look for YOU if you have a problem. With the future upgrades out there I can see this marker easily achieving 30+ BPS once the BPS cap is removed and you have a lighter ram and bolt.
I would recommend this over any other market in the price range right now and even over some out of its league.
Definitely a great primary marker which always makes a great backup marker.
I'm giving it a 10/10 not because I think its perfect, but because I couldn't give it a 9.9/10 which I think it deserves, and definately deserves more than a 9.0. |

| Review: |
-First Impressions-
My brother and I open these beasts on Christmas Morning, and we were very happy to say the least. The first thing you notice is the flawless anno and milling job done by Dangerous Power, there was not a single scratch or bump one the entire gun. Just smooth, flowing lines. The milling on this gun isn't jsut for looks though,
Online we heard a few people say these guns looked "bulky" and "tall". The whole bulky thing was complete bull, as the body of this gun is just as slim as an ego. And side by side with my old Ion, this gun is only ONE CENTIMETER taller. Speaking of size, the bolt for this gun is unbelievably small, measuring about 2 3/4 inches long. And on the very to of this gun, is the feed neck, and an impressive on at that. The F8's feedneck measures only one inch tall, but it still grips my Vlocity very, very well.
Time to talk about the trigger. Yes, the trigger will feel... "different" when you first pick the gun up, unless you are used to an opti-switch trigger instead of the old micro switch triggers. But after a minute of adjusting, and a few more to get used to the new feel, you will realize that the F8's opti-switch trigger is 1) Smoother than a micro switch trigger, and 2) More adjustable than a micro switch trigger.
As you move lower on the gun, you notice Dangerous Power's nifty little invention, the RAPS on/off ASA. This little guy uses a simple lever to let the air into your gun, and it is much faster than the traditional twist knob ASA. But, if for some odd reason the RAPS doesn't please you, Dangerous Power was nice enough to throw in a twist knob ASA too!
-At The Field-
We arrived at MPG with hopes to finally play with our new guns. After loading some pods, and filling up out tanks, we headed over to the chrono to see if the F8's reg really could hold up to all of the hype it had been receiving. Well, I guess we can say, everyone was right, we were seeing numbers like +/- 5 over the chrono. This was really nice to see, coming from Ions that barely could hold to +/-10. And remember, these F8 regs that were pumping out a consistent +/- 5 were not even broken in yet.
Finally it was time to play, after stepping on to the field and removing the quality barrel covers that came with the gun, waited for the countdown. Off the break, I could easily rip off a consistent rope of paint, and I was quick to notice how there was almost no kick. Actually I couldn't even call it kick, more like a rumble that was to weak to through your aim off at all. After I started to snap shoot, I found out how accurate the stock barrel truly was. The barrel could easily keep a 6 inch spread at 75 ft. This kind of accuracy is almost as good as my Scepter barrel kit, so there is no reason to get a new barrel unless you want to squeeze every ounce of performance out of this marker.
During the game, if you happen to post up on someone, you don't ever have to worry about your arm getting tired ever again, this gun is a feather weight at just over 2 lbs fully loaded. It's all metal construction *cough* PMR *cough* feels extremely solid too.
After the game was over, normally we would head over to the fill station to get more air, but not anymore. The F8 uses almost no gas, and can get nearly a case off of a 68/4500, which makes it one of the most efficient guns ever made.
-Back Home-
One of the F8's best features it not it's ungodly efficiency, or ball on ball accuracy, but it is it's ability to be so quickly cleaned and lubed. It takes less than 30 seconds to remove all of the moving parts (Bolt, ram, spring). The process involves: 1) Pull up on bolt pin and slide bolt out. 2) Insert allen wrench into back cap and turn 90* 3) Tilt gun back and slide the ram out. 4) Lube. 5) Reverse steps 1-3. There you go, you gun is back in perfect condition and ready to go mow some faces, the maintenance could not be easier.
Edit 1: My brothers had to go in to the shop due to some bad shoot down, but mine is still fine. Last time I played, I had the chance to shoot a Bob Long Vice, along with my F8. Besides the triggers and grips, they felt and shot exactly the same. I actually had to turn the gun sideways and look at it sometimes to see which one I was shooting. Also the Vice had a Ultralight on it, and my F8 with a stock barrel shot just as straight, or maybe even a little straighter. Just showing that DP needs to make a kit very soon, and let others experience there god sticks (barrels) so in a nut shell: $800+ Vice=$400 F8.
Oh by the way, I let the kids on my team shoot it too, now two of them are going to start shooting them too, one traded his NXT for it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This gun shoots almost the same as an Ego, and destroys the Etek, so what is the big deal you may ask? Well the big deal is that the Ego will cost you 300% more. Finally a $399 marker that shoots nearly as nice as a $1250 Ego. Just buy the F8, it will be the last gun you will ever need. Or at least until another Fusion comes out :) |

| Review: |
First of all, let me say that before I got this gun, I shot a DM8. I can honestly say that I'll never buy a DM again.
The UPS truck delivered a brand new Fusion to me today. I opened up the box and the gun is dead sexy. You got everything you need to shoot... except the battery :(. I got the gun out of the box and did a quick read of the manual. I adjusted the trigger (very nice by the way) and switched the board to ramping mode.
I opened up my window and shot a hoppers worth of balls out of my fusion. Wow, this thing's fast. It IS faster than my DM8. I have a video that's been goldwaved on pbnation at 25BPS. This is on total stock settings. The only drawback is the kick. It's not alot but that is one category that the DM8 wins in. The fusion is a poppet valve so it should have more kick though.
I can't wait to see what this thing can do with an uncapped board. This gun is probably one of the lightest (1.89 pounds) and fastest guns out there. DP definately did not dissapoint with this one.
A little bit more in depth.......
Now that I have had some more time to tinker with this gun I really know what all the fuss is about. After being broken in, the gn chronos at a very good +-3. This isn't bad at all for a stock reg. I have had the gun for a little over ten days now and have already put over two cases of paint through it. As is stock it is super effieicient and has almost no kick. I have ordered an eigenram for it and hope that this will give it even more efficiency and even less kick then it already has. The more you play with this gun, the more you grow to like it.
At the field the gun performs like it should. It is very comfortable to shoot and the trigger is very walkable IMO. People claim that it's tall but it's really not that much taller than similar designed poppit designs. Great gun stock but we will see what she can do when more stuff is later released. |
|
| Conclusion: |
BUY THIS GUN. You will never look back. |

| Review: |
I picked up this wonderful little marker about 2 days ago and have ran about half a case with it. I will post another review in a month or so after I've gone more in-depth with the marker.
What are you paying for:
The F8 comes in a non metal box (unlike ego's or mini's etc) with a two piece cocker threaded barrel (bore .690), a barrel bag (says Dangerous Power on it), a allen key set with all the keys you need, a warranty card, a very basic but yet high quality/informative manual, another on/off, some o-rings, two DP stickers and a Key Chain. Of course you also receive the F8. The box is a basic bow with a carrying handle but seems like it could easily take a beating. A lot of padding (a lower layer, a middle layer and a upper layer)is within the box to protect your wonderful new toy.
The F8 itself is a typical FASOR (Forward Air Spring On Return) much like many double stacked markers. It's bolt is removable, has a non adjustable LPR (Low Pressure Regulator), a lever type on/off, a clamping feedneck (very nice), and a very large curved trigger. Out of the box I easily hit 13-15 bps.
Lets break down it's particular strengths and weaknesses.
The bolt: It is very tiny, incredibly so. Its about the size of my pinky finger length wise (so about 1/3rd the size of a normal pencil). It has excellent channels for air and is obviously very very well milled. I ind that on other guns such as the eTek 2 they kind of skimp on the bolt. It also seems very paint friendly. I fired off a pod of horrible paint below freezing at probably 10bps without one chop.
The feedneck: It is a wide feedneck but it does the job. It is very short but not to short. Does a excellent job of clamping on to my VLocity. No mill marks at all. Need no allen keys to adjust it either, just take your hopper off and adjust the knob with your fingers.
The on/off: One of the things that stands out about this gun is it's on/off. It is a lever style on/off and is very easy to gas up the gun. De-gassing it though takes some practice. It bleeds air very very quickly because of the snappiness of the lever.
The barrel: Its a typical kind of barrel you would see on a mid end gun. Its large bore so you most likely won't break paint unless it is really big or very bad. It comes with a o-ring on it an reg d doesn't shake loose even at high rates of fire. It seems decently accurate as-well. I wouldn't recommend upgrading it until you have broken in the and are using premium paint, that ay you can best judge the barrel's effect on the paint.
The reg (aka HPR): One of the things you will notice is that the reg is very very small. It is also very well milled and out f the box was between 230 fps and 248 fps. After it is broken in I expect wondrous things from the reg. Its recharge rate is also atleast acceptable. Shooting a pod through it at high speed it seemed to have no drop off at all.
The trigger: Very large curved trigger. Adjusts from the left side just above the gun. Both adjusters (hex screws) effect pre and post travel allowing for you to pretty well sweet-spot the trigger. It is very well milled and is held in place by a long hex screw as opposed to a pin you bang into place. It does have a spring in the grip frame that deals with how heavy the trigger is but to me it feels... comfortable. The board uses a optical switch to fire, so there is no microswitch to have the trigger push off of.
The trigger guard: Very well milled and massive. Anyone any height can walk this gun to my belief. I myself I'm 5"7 and it is fine, even my friend who is 6"4 has no problem with it.
The grips: Sit perfectly flush with the gun
The board: Having only two buttons (top one for power, lower one for the eyes), a series of switches on the board (that control your modes) and a battery connector that is very easily accessed. The board is a cake walk, very very user friendly. Its simple but not to simple.
The detents: The F8 uses two ball bearings with springs as detents. Not been a problem yet but if I ever experience a break with paint, I'll remove one detent, see if that helps.
The eyes: Very easy to clean, just pop off the eye covers (make sure you don't loose the springs or bearings) and clean with a piece of toilet paper or q-tip. Pop back on and your good to go. Seem to have at the very least, suitable eye logic. Furthermore the canals for the eyes on the eye covers are perfect. You will never pinch yours eyes unless you are careless.
The milling: The milling on this gun is extreme. It is very light and damm sexy. Not one mill mark, scratch or dimple. Flawless.
Take down: This gun is very very simple. It has a very easy takes down (takes 2 minutes to pull out the ram assembly, the fake "LPR", valve seal etc, bolt, eye covers etc. Taking the grip frame off the main body is very easy, very long wires so lots of space to play with if you don't pull out the connector from the solenoid to the board (very easy to do). Only a battery wire, eye wires and a solenoid wire. Not much to damage.
Now to the two cons. No gun is perfect.
The LPR: None, so those tinkerers out there can't mess up their gun.
The board: Can not adjust things like dwell or de-bounce. Not that it really needs to be changed.
Note: I will continue to add information as my experience with this gun increases. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you don't want to buy a eTek or eTek 2(although this easily compares to one), want something more than a mini and really like a stacked tube design, this is the gun for you. I'd recommend them to most players both moderately experienced and above. |

|
| Review: |
Well when I first received it I was very surprised at how light it actually was, and how small the bolt is. IT'S TINY. So, after shooting my friend's timmy, I thought that it would have a bit of kick and be kinda loud. However it was not. The kick was almost not noticeable and pretty quite. The only problem that I had was that it would not completely clamp on my vlocity, but I have a new feedneck coming today so that will be solved very quickly.
All in all I was very impressed by how it felt and shot, and to me it shoots about the same as a mini (they are both poppet systems so that is probably why). I do prefer how spool valve markers shoot (to me seems to be smoother), but that is not a fair variable to incorporate in it's rating. i am using it as my backup marker for now.
Just remember there are plenty of new markers out there so shoot all the ones that you are interested in, and if possible play a game with them. Then make up your mind. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Well for the money this it more than likely going to be one for the best buys, and because there was nothing wrong it it's performance, I give it a 10. Is there better out there? Yes. For the money? well there are pmrs, minis, ions, epiphanys and many other new markers out there. All of these would be about the same level. But i am not and I am sure that you will not be disappointed in this marker if you do purchase it. |

| Review: |
As stated above in the strengths; the weight is amazing, it is simple to maintain, you can take it apart in about 2-5 minutes. The board is easy to deal with, instead of worrying about what color lights mean what, or how many blinks mean what, you just switch a couple of the switches (on the board), either up or down, and you have your desired mode. There is a lever, as well as a turning, ASA. It comes with both, so you can choose, the only difference, that i know of, is that the turning one may not work for High Pressure N2. It can reach 25 bps. Feels really nice, trigger is really easy/light/fires well. |
|
| Conclusion: |
If you want to buy a $1200 marker, but don't have the money, get this...or, if you just want something that will preform extremely well, get this product. |

This marker is a head turner, everyone who sees it wants to hold and shoot it, The people who use Ego's cant believe the quality and price, the fit and finish are 1st
class, Dangerous Power did their homework well on this one.
The service and customer responce from the manufacturer are Quick. |

Great marker, very accurate, SUPER PRICE ! Would choose this marker any day over a Ego, DM7. |

| Review: |
Right out of the box, this thing is beautiful. Wonderful machining, no lines at all. Paint looks very durable. Very light too. All the pieces are packed tight and secure in the box and there is even a piece of paper that shows the entire box was checked over and initialed to ensure the inventory was complete. Just the little extra step that makes a big difference. It also came with two different on/off ASA’s, the typical knob twist, and their new Cool RAPS ASA. That is the one I am using. Just flip a lever and you are off. It also comes with the complete set of ASA allen keys. These aren't the cheap ones you get with most markers, but the nice ones with the ball fittings on the end. It seems they skimp no expense so far.
The first thing I did was disassemble. First off, the internals have been already lubed with grease, not oil. This is my first high end electro so I don’t know if this is common or not. I found the instruction manual to be very short and brief, but it is enough for an experienced player to understand. This marker is definitely not for beginners. The pieces fit perfectly with no play whatsoever. The only thing I don’t care for too much is the amount of O-rings in the internals. On the other hand though, you can see how they all act as backups to each other. For example, there are three O-rings on the ram alone. That means if one bursts or gets old, you will still be able to continue. The valve was a pain to remove since the retaining screw was torqued down so hard I had to use pliers to move the allen key. The trigger frame is a wonderful design. Of course you must disconnect the noid and eye wires, but the whole frame is remove by loosening two invisible hex screws a quarter turn, then just sliding back. No extra screws to lose on your carpet or go bouncing under your workbench. The supplied HP macroline fit just fine, but just barely. I picked up an extra foot just in case.
When fully assembled, it is very light but feels very sturdy in your hands. The trigger guard is very large and the trigger itself is a rather unusual design. It is fully adjustable and uses a break beam system rather then a micro switch. When you add a full hopper and 68ci tank, it is slightly unbalanced to the rear. I am going to pick up a drop for it in the very near future and see if that would help. A smaller tank would be ideal seeing as this thing operates on 200psi, but I am working with what I got at the moment. Switching modes is a pain since it just as the four switches inside the grip. Until you have the switch configuration memorized, you need to have the instructions near you as there are 8 different modes. You also can’t adjust the dwell or debounce or anything like that, but since it is a break beam instead of a micro switch, I haven’t found it necessary yet.
When firing, there is only the slightest kick noticeable. It is also whisper quiet. The barrel is a nice two piece, but only comes .690 bore size. It is very accurate for a stock barrel, but as with every marker out there, an after market will be better. I am looking at the Deadly Winds Fibur since I already have all the freak inserts for my A5. I just hate to break up the color scheme by throwing on a new barrel. The marker performed flawlessly on the field. Not one ball break all day and almost an entire case was put through it. Cleaning is a snap. Pull the bolt out the rear, twist the back cap a quarter turn and slide out the ram. Done. |
|
| Conclusion: |
All in all, I am extremely satisfied with this new marker. Again, this is my first high end electro so I really don’t have anything to compare it with, but it definitely has earned it’s place in my arsenal. The only problem I had was the barrel condom broke! The elastic string ripped out of the stitching. How great is it that the only thing I can find to complain about is the condom! |

| Review: |
I have that marker form 3 days. I fire on it 3 hopper in cold winter condition and no any ball crack! Thats amassing for stock barrel - bore size is big and it is not fussy for paint.
The feed neck is good no problems with it. Stock trigger good too- for trigger with spring vary good and light, only need a magnetic mod that any one can do it alone.
Very good LPR.. no any play whit the pressure whit chronograph.
Very easy to clean and maintain.
Other strengths are:
Barrel
Speed
Modes
Weight
Bolt
Price
Looks
Efficiency
For the money that you give you take a lot !!! No other marker have that strengths for that price!!! That is a machine that can kill machines whit rang of Angle, Ego... |
|
| Conclusion: |
Very good work Dangerous Power. Thats how you can attract new players.
Now only make this marker better whit magnetic return trigger and board that can reprogram the mods! |

| Review: |
I got this marker about a month ago and have put about a case through it with reballs and regular paintballs. When i first shot it i thought it felt great even while shooting at 13-15bps in semi. There really is no kick at all. I also shot it with reballs and they work beautifully with the F8.
Stock Barrel: The stock barrel is amazing. It is extremely light and extremely accurate. It reminds me of the Dye UL barrel.
Modes: People conplain about the highest setting being 25bps but it is actually really fast when you are holding the gun while shooting that fast. You might be suprised. There is something like 8 modes on the stock board and it is really easy to change the modes even though it is all torny legal. You just have to open up the grip and change the dipswitches. There are no annoying flashing lighs that you have to cycle through to reach the one you want. I like the board a lot. (i dont know what is going to happen with the whole 13.3bps rules change though)
Speed: All i can say about the speed of this is WOW! I don't have the fastest fingers but with the crisp feel of every shot it is really easy to time your fingers just right so that you shoot your fastest. Even the stock trigger setting is really short so it doesn't take much effort getting up to high speeds.
Weight: There isn't much more to say about the weight of this other than 1.89lbs. This is one of the lighest guns out there.
Bolt: I though i would add this in the review because of how amazing it is. The bolt is sooooo easily removed and then you can just run a squeegie down the entire gun and barrel at the same time(if your squeegie is long enough) It is also very small. This cuts down on kick.
Price: $400-$450. Its by far the best gun in its price range.
Looks: This gun looks amazing. The little curvy part above the reg turns a lot of people off to this gun because they think it is fat but in person the curvy part isnt fat at all and actually makes it really nice to hold. The milling and the anno are perfect.
RAPS: This is probably the best on/off I have ever used. You just need to watch your fingers when you degas it because the lever comes forward extremely fast and even though it is small really hurts(I know first hand). It moves so well though and purges as you degas it.
Consistency: People say it gets really good consistency but i haven't had a chance to test it.
Efficiency: I have put almost a case worth of paint and reballs through it and still have 500ish psi. I think it's supposed to get around 1800 shots per 68/45. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Overall this gun is amazing and I don't have anything at all that is bad to say about it. Just go out and buy it. I got mine for $400 and it is a bazillion times better than a pmr or anything else in that area price wise. |
