I just sold it but, I had a Freak junior on it, 20oz c02
Recommended Upgrades:
New barrel b/c the stock barrel blows, get nitro b/c you can't shot fast with this crap gun.
Strengths:
very acurate when there is a new barrel on it.
thats about it
Weaknesses:
-Heavy
-Chops balls all the time
-The Bolt must be too big for the gun b/c it wears the gun down to bear metal
-Hard to clean
-Crappy parts
-Can't upgrade it
-Worst gun for $200, go buy a tippmann
Conclusion:
Don't buy this gun, all it was..was a hassel,had to clean it all the time b/c it choped balls every 5 seconds, the bolt wore the gun down to bear metal, can barely upgrade it. I just sold it for $200 and it came with a freak junior barrel and 20oz and I damn glad i got rid of it.
The only goos thing about this product is that it's fast, and sometimes accurate--when its not in the shop, or in the trash. It looks kinda good--in the pictures online.
Weaknesses:
too much things are bad about this product:
1.) It leaks everytime you screw the Co2 tank back in.
2.) it goes through o-rings like crazy.
3.) time consuming to take apart, and put back together.
4.) heavy
5.) all the allen screws have removable threads that they screw in to. the second time i removed a screw, the thread came out, and its now impossible to get it back in.
6.) the sockets for the screws have no grip after you screw the screws in a couple of times.
7.) leaks gas from the air pressure gauge, the gas-thru foregrip, and expansion chamber.
8.) everytime you set it down on a rough surface, it scratches
9.) trigger is too sensetive.
10.) the one i ordered was so different from the ones in the pictures on the internet.
11.) definitely not gas-efficient
12.) sight is blocked by hopper elbow
13.) when i shot rapidly, the vibration completely ripped the trigger frame, grip, and gas-thru foregrip from the rest of the gun.
Conclusion:
Dont buy this gun. When they say, "This is one marker that lives up to its name..." they're lying. it's tight for a few days, then when you get problem upon problem, you feel like throwing it out the window, and you also wish you got the Tippmann 98 or the Spyder Shutter. Very cheap quality. I will never buy 32 Degrees products ever.
Spyder EM1
Custom Products 14'' Barrel
PMI 48 CI HPA Tank
12V Java Revy
Recommended Upgrades:
Don't buy it. Buy a Spyder.
Strengths:
It looks like a really good gun
You can put a Spyder threaded barrel on it
Weaknesses:
This gun chops balls like the lowest end Brass Eagles
The bolt pin can snap
The gun is utterly worthless in cold weather
Don't buy it
Difficult to clean
Double feeds when it doesn't chop
Special features are worthless when your cleaning the paint out of it again and again and again.
Conclusion:
I hate to slam 32 Degrees as they make a large number of great products. This marker looks really cool and the price seems too good to be true. Thats because it is. This was my first marker. I bought a CP barrel and took it out to the field. Then the nightmare began. After 3 shots I was breaking paint. I turned the velocity all the way down to 110 FPS and I was still breaking balls left and right. Although I was using Great America balls, thats still no excuse. My EM1 barely ever breaks Great America balls (ohh and yes that 14'' CP barrel I use on my EM1 is the same one I originally bought for this gun so it wasn't the barrel). After a while the bolt pin connecting the bolt to the hammer snapped. Luckily I was able to return it. 32 Degrees makes great paint but they make really bad low end guns. If you want a good low end gun, buy a Spyder or Spyder Xtra.
I have used Impy's and omens and armotechs but nothing as bad as this paint blender
Marker Setup:
evil omen, Smart parts 14' all american Evy ll and a 47/35 crossfire low pressure tank
Recommended Upgrades:
New bolt new trigger frame new expansionchamber new barrel new macro line. NEW GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Strengths:
Is relativly acurate when it works
Weaknesses:
Can you say paint blender?
Review:
This was my second gun and boy is that 150$ i wish i had back. This gun is only good if it is on the sidelines in your gear bag. It was relatively accurate but during sequences of rapid fire it chopped so many balls that i got paint up int the power feed and then up into my hoppers feed neck. I once had to clean this gun7 times in one day thats how great it is. If you get this gun my recommendation is1)Get it in semi auto only(no electro crap because it cant rapid fire) and if you can, save the extra Ten bucks and get the btb. My friend has one and it has yet to let him down which means there is some hope for 32degrees.
Conclusion:
Overall a not so great gun at a not so great price
well the only similar product would be a blade because it is the only other gun this bad
Marker Setup:
none right now because my rebel is getting "FIXED" even though it is impossible
Recommended Upgrades:
none the more you have on it the more there is to break instead of buying this gun save 20 more and get a tippmann pro carbine
Strengths:
well it is metal( doesnt help though its breaks in a matter of days anyway)
Weaknesses:
waists co2 chops at least every other ball pieces inside are made so they breaK
Review:
dont buy this gun it is worse than a brass eagle blade the only thing that is better about this is that it is semi auto and you can put on a big co2 tank (but the semi auto doesnt help when you have to clean your gun after every shot). Trust me i read the reviews here before i got this gun and for the most part they said it was good so i got it and I was horribly dissapointed and i dont want any one else to have these problems if you buy a gun from 32 degrees get a icon e or z they are very good. another thing wrong with this is the ball detent thing is rubber so it just gets ripped to pieces after about 200 shots and when you try to get help from the company it is worthless. they dont tell you anything other than what is in the book.(manual). Save up your money and get a tippmann pro/carbine or an A-5 they dont break and if they do tippmann is a very helpfull company and will fix or replace your gun. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS GUN YOU WILL HATE IT IF YOU ALLREADY HAVE IT SELL IT TO SOME DUMB LITTLE KID THAT ONLY PLAYS ONCE EVERY SIX MONTHS THEN THEY WILL LOVE ITFOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS ANY.
JUST GET A TIPPMANN OR SPYDER REBELS ARE FOR LITTLE SISSY GIRLS THAT DONT PLAY BUT JUST HAVE A EXPENSIVE GUN TO LOOK COOL.
The good, it looks good, the stock barrel is probably the best stock barrel we ever used.
Weaknesses:
Ok my friend was using this gun and we were at the field the gun chronos from 100 - 300 fps on the chrono, this is dangerous. we think this gun is horrible. the regulator doesn't work, we think its just for looks.
Review:
This gun might have been a company defect, but we dont know and we do not plan on getting a 32 degree gun ever again. It's range of fps was from 100 - 300, 100 isn't fast enough, 300 is too fast. The difference between the 2 numbers is from useless to DANGEROUS. i would NOT want someone shooting me at 300 fps
Conclusion:
We only bought this gun so that if one of our friends needed a gun they could use it, but this gun did horrible for 1 day. now my friend is just messing around w/ the gun. overall i do not suggest getting this gun, it's bad, for the same price you could get a shutter (which is great for new players)
-power feed
-expansion chamber is pretty good
-good beginner gun(which i am a beginer)
-works well with the coil line
Weaknesses:
-ball detent sucks
-leaks
-gauge isnt that good
-leaks in multiple places
Conclusion:
its pretty good besides the balldetent and the leaking doesnt break as many balls as every1 says. Its good for me since i dont play in tourneys i just play for fun.
