accually my RAT had never seen the field or even been used for that matter when it didnt work, meaning that as soon as I got it, it stopped working. I've been playing for 3 and a half years and have played marty bush 1 on 1, and I work at my field every weekend, so I wouldnt talk when you say that I dont know how to take care of my gun and I dont know what Im talking about.
Marker Setup:
I have a spyderman rat w a 4500 68ci max attack tank and a matching anoed freak system, and a silver 99 cocker w palmers rock reg, aka lightning bolt, and a hinge
Recommended Upgrades:
An extra board
Strengths:
Like I said the gun has a nice trigger, and some of them have no problems, but about 3 or 4 people I know with the newer chirp board models have had theirs go down. Now I've been told that the reason it took so long for me to get my gun back is that their computer system went down recently.
Weaknesses:
They arent as reliable as theyre made out to be. Seeing as how 4 if you include mine have gone down that I know of, I dont think thats very reliable. At the same time I know 2 people where I live that havent had a problem with their gun yet. As I was saying, it isnt my fault the gun went down, so dont open your mouth before you know the story.
Conclusion:
good gun, but needs a few months for all the kinks to get worked out in a new model. I would still keep mine if I had the choice, and I did get the choice to trade it in for something new through michigan paintball. I'm saying that they arent all they're cracked up to be. My rating is higher now because they next day aired my gun to me and I had a great day shootin people up with it.
Angel triggerwise, and when it comes to reliabilty, my cocker, which comes out of time every time I fire
Marker Setup:
I have a spyderman rat w a 4500 68ci max attack tank, and a silver 99 cocker
Recommended Upgrades:
Keep the warranty
Strengths:
the trigger is lighter than an angel, and its shorter than an angel, plus they're the best lookin guns around
Weaknesses:
The day after I got mine it stopped working. I emailed michigan paintball, and they told me exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. Well after I fixed what they told me to, it was still leaking out of a few different places and wouldnt fire. I sent it back about 2 weeks ago now, and they predict it will be about another week before I get it back. I reffed a tourney at my local field and watched 3 of these guns out of the 4 go down too.
Conclusion:
You could get a spyder that looks good, but you need a gun that works. When you get one that works, you need it to keep working. This gun hasnt done that for me or the other 3 guys at the tourney. What does that tell you about the gun?
gray ra impulse, freak barrel, rat internals, vert maxflo, otb trigger frame, vision board, halo b, ccm no rise feedneck, tapeworm, drop forward and pure energy 68/45 tank
Recommended Upgrades:
tapeworm to get rid of bolt jams and first shot drop off
Strengths:
Fast gun for a reasonable price
Very accurite
lighter than stock impulse
cool body milling
Weaknesses:
Uses alot of gas
Could be lighter
Review:
Overall this is an excellent gun. It rips right out of the box and no upgrades are really needed but i recomend a vision board and tapeworm. I was overjoyed with it when i played my first game because of it's speed, accuracy and consistancy. The only thing that is a small problem is the bolt jamming. This rerly happens though and can be fixed by buying a tapeworm for 20 bucks.
Conclusion:
This is a great gun. It is the least expensive of all pro shop impulses and can have you competing at a tournament level. Buy it now and up your game

Review:
First off ive the rat impulse is awesome.
Pros:
Air Efficent (unlike most guns this baby is air effiecent runs at 125 psi)
Looks
Speed
No Chops
Lighter than stock imp weighs in about 2-3 pounds
Cons:
Trigger moves around easily ( it feels loose) no biggie
There are lighter guns
im being critical nothing really i can think of. sept trigger haha
Conclusion:
This gun is great, its air effiecent, fast and reliable. during my course of using this gun i have experienced a few things. trigger slop, and shots skipping
the shots were skipping cuz my 12 volt was to slow. so i bought an egg.
also the trigger its fast and super light with zero bounce. but as i ahve owned it for a while now i feel a magnetic trigger will surely make it the best it can be.

Review:
OK i was at my local feild and a guy i know was showing me his A-bomb intimidator. I loved that and then this other guy that ive met before is selling his Rat Impluse and i asked if i could test it out and he said Sure, but would you like to try it in some games. So i took it into a game and holy crap is it fast. I was getting off alot more then i do with my gun. This gun is a really fast marker and i went through all my paint in just 5 games(had 1000left) So if you are in the market for a faster gun get the Rat Impluse.
Conclusion:
This is a very nice, light, durable, and fast gun. Get it.

The 03 Rat is the best marker in my opinion. The freak barrel is nice,The Rat's body is nicer than Pamela Andersons,the curves and cuts are sharp.E-PaintballOutlet has done a great job with the desigh and the choice of parts used. In conclusion the Rat is FAT buy it.
Conclusion:
The Rat is where its at.

very good gun. The first day I got it, I went out to the field and it shot perfect. I'm not lying when I say perfect. With very little adjustments it was whole hoppers between 297 and 299 fps. The gun is also very accurate. My friend used it in a tournament and used it over his 3-oracle cocker.
Conclusion:

Review:
very good reliable gun. haven't had a single problem with it and i've been playin in sand and all over the place. Very easy to strip down and clean especially with the delrin bolt. Has almost everything u could want on a impulse. comes with a lifetime warranty that let's u get any technical problems fixed with the gun for free. the freak barrel system helps to make it accurate as all get out.
Conclusion:
good strong reliable gun that comes with a lifetime warranty that probably won't break with ya (if u treat it right) and shoots great and smooth

Review:
Awesome! I bought my gun on ebay, and there were a couple missing parts. I sent it in to ratguns, and they fixed it up, added an lpr, new hammer, and a ram. It's in great condition now. Great gun for the money and even buying it used like me is well worth it. Ratguns has great service and is very helpful.
Conclusion:
Don't get it unless you want a good, solid, AAAA grade marker! Who's hilarious?!?
get a Halo B ur gonna need it ,RIP valve, RAM housing, WAS, LPR if u like
Strengths:
consistent, accurate, fast, small, u really cant ask for more
Weaknesses:
efficiency could be better, only comes with one freak insert, doesnt work well with evolution2
Review:
this gun is very consistent, small, light, and fast. although it only gets a little over a half case of paint of a 68/45 fill but it doesnt matter, it can be made much more efficient with the NDZ RIP valve, and RAM housing, and much faster too with WAS, then u got a gun that can rip with the big boys, make that kid with his shiny new timmy shut up when u rock him with this sweet impulse, although i do emplore that u should get a halo for it, the feedneck is designed for halos and it has never chopped with my Halo-B, i chop one ball per case on a bad day with my halo, dont hesitate to buy this, u get alot of gun for a great price
Conclusion:
buy this gun, its excellent, and its worthy of a 10, just because of its great value, customer service, and upgradability and overall performance. just make sure u get a halo
