My WeirRat Impulse came with the following:
-Freak barrel with All American Tip
-Voodoo Delrin Bolt
-All Americans Competition Hammer
-Voodoo Full Flow
-Rat Snout Valve Cap
-Rat Ear Feed Neck
-Smoke Smart Parts Stickies
-Shocktech Drop Forward
-Blade Trigger
-Vision
I've since added one of Werm's Undertow bolts.
I'm currently running with an 88 cu/4500psi P.E. tank and a Smart Parts Halo.
Recommended Upgrades:
Vision. Dear God, get vision. It's far, far too easy to rip on these, and eventually you're going to chop, and chop bad. Get the vision eye, and never look back.
Strengths:
The gun shoots extremely fast, and with deadly accuracy. It looks great (the pictures don't do it justice), and it's a hell of a bargain. Every Rat is custom built by some of the most talented Smart Parts techs in the world, and comes with a lifetime warrenty. What's not to love?
Weaknesses:
Very Important: If you get a Halo with this gun, the halo will require a lot of sanding and forcing to get it on. Remove the feed neck from the body of the gun before doing this, or you'll strip the hell out of the threads.

Additional freak inserts and freak case.
That i all, this gun is ready to play rec ball, tourneys, anything!
Strengths:
This gun is so sweet! It comes with some of the best Impy upgrades there are. Awesome milling, really makes the gun look nice. The guys at e-paintball are so nice. They will put together a custom package for you, fix your gun for free if it breaks, anything. Just call them up. Back to the gun. The freak barrel is awesome, the blade trigger is adjustable is three separate places(triiger pull, trigger stiffness and I forget the other.), as I said before the milling ROCKS!
Weaknesses:
Nothing accept as someone else mentioned the demand is huge for these guns. The guys at e-apintball can't get them out the door fast enough.
Conclusion:
Sweet gun! Awesome milling, sweet internals, sweet barrel. Buy one today at E-paintball.com
Stock Impulse with Delrin bolt
Tricked out automag
Marker Setup:
STOCK CAVE RAT IMPULSE (it's Black) with all the stock goodies that come with it.
VL 12 volt X-board
CO2 (amazingly works as well as N2 with this gun), although might get N2 later
Recommended Upgrades:
NONE, It's ready to go. Mabe some additional Freak inserts... All you need really is the .687, .689, .691 inserts. THAT'S IT!!! You can get the Vision for 150 more but it's not neccesary unless you're able to pull the trigger 14 times/sec. If you're like me and can fire a max rate of mabe 10/sec, all you need is a good hopper that'll supply the balls fast enough like the VL 12volt Xboard or something and you won't chop.
Strengths:
It has all the upgrades you need already INSTALLED AND TESTED like the Verticle Maxflow setup, VFF (VooDoo full flow), FREAK barrel with your choice of bore size, a fully adjustable blade trigger, a delrin bolt, and sticky grips. Plus it has a cool milling job and color and is lighter than a stock IMP. This gun kicks A$$. Another cool thing is all these custom parts are under the standard 1 year warrantee under both e-paintballoutlet.com and smartparts so you can ship it to eithor one if anything goes wrong.
Even without the vision, this thing hasn't choped 1 paintball yet and I'm shooting 10 balls/sec ( good loader makes all the difference )
Weaknesses:
They can't build em fast enough. They sell like crazy. They might be out of stock
Conclusion:
Sure it isn't as "pretty" as some other custom IMPS, but if you want a manly looking IMP that's pure PERFORMANCE, then this is the gun for you. It's such a great value too. Bust out a calculator and try adding up the cost of all the features it comes with and you'll see it's the best Bang for the $$

Marker Setup:

Recommended Upgrades:
The vert feed...can anyone tell me if that is even possible, if so please tell me how...
Strengths:
speed, looks, quiet, everything already said by everyone here...
Weaknesses:
just the tallness of the feed
Review:
You can totally rip with this gun, I've outshot the halo B with this gun...that tells me something, its amazingly fast, accurate, and has great looks...I do suggest to replace the feed if you can and the HSW I-Frame for consistant shooting...the blade trigger is too loose
speed, accuracy, sexy gun, everyone likes it a lot
Weaknesses:
hevy, may need eye

Recommended Upgrades:
getting entire freak kit, and upgrading to compressed air like i will be doiing soon

This was the marker of my dreams, it offers soooo much for such a little price compared to other markers. It can shoot soooo increadibly fast, it has a lifetime warantee, its tournament ready out of the box, the guys at EPBO are awesome, it can run on CO2, you can't really waste much more money upgrading it, has everythign you will ever need. greatest marker i have ever shot. not to mention that it is also one of the nicest looking markers out.
Weaknesses:
profile is a little tall but thats fine for me cuz i'm pretty damn tall, and trigger is too sensitive, but hey, who cares :)
Conclusion:
Buy a Rat, you won't be upset with the purchase, I love mine, its the best thing ever, best paintball purchase i have ever made, blows my WGP E-ranger marker out of the water. Made me a better paintball player, bc its soo accurate and fast no one else can really compete with you. Buy one, this gun rocks!!!
2003 RAT imp
70 ci stubby crossfire hp tank
Drop 4- in
OTB frame
Equilizer
Egg
Recommended Upgrades:
Equalizer (WAS) board
clamping feed neck
a feak insert to match your paint
Strengths:
Fast, doesnt chop, low kick, accurate
Weaknesses:
get 750 out of 70/45 ra 130psi
Feed neck is horible
A bit TALL
Review:
Guys this is the best gun you can buy for under 700 dollars. Its accurate fast and dosnt chop. The milling is great. When you play everyone wants to now what it is. Without the equilizer eye this gun is pretty fast and dosnt hardly ever chop with good paint. But if you throw in the equilizer this is like a different gun. It is crazy fast and NEVER chops. Though it is a little tall for us front men, it is perfect for backmen. I would recomend getting this gun to all back/mid players. It will keep up with anything. And is more reliable than a matrix. I use a DM3 as my primary gun and this as my backup. Swtching to this gun is no detriment to my game whatso ever. It is not as quite as the dm3 or as low kick but it will definently keep up with it!
Oh yea and Great Customer Service too e-paintball outlet replaced my feedneck for free
Conclusion:
BY IT!!!!!!
For a fast RELIABLE tourney level marker this is your best choice
