Review:
Ok, this gun is flat out awesome. The gun retails for $280 through PMI, but can be bought for as little as $125 online through discount retialers. The gun is extremely accurate, considering it has a stock 12" spiral ported barrel. The anti chop eyes and the regulator on this gun make it worth every penny. I have never once chopped a ball. Where I play there are angels, ions and many other high end guns. I routinely knock these guys out and am still standing at the end of the game. This gun is just as high end as an Ion, if not more so, just doesn't carry the same name. With no burst or full auto, your rate of fire really depends on yuor ability to walk the trigger. I upgrade my trigger and can get 17 BPS right now. The gun has the ability to get 21, if you're rreally good and have an ample hopper. Don't even bother with CO2, go ahead and get the Nitro tank. Your shots will not go astray. Hope this helps, and I promise, you will not be disappointed with this gun.
Conclusion:
BUY THE GUN. It is cheaper than an Ion, and just as good, if not better. The only thing the Ion has that the EVO does not, is auto and ramping, but most fields won't allow that anyways.

i dont know i only used this gun.
Marker Setup:
i have a halo hopper that doesnt fit the gun so its not fair
Recommended Upgrades:
a new barrel, and the trigger is very sensitive
Strengths:
You can loosen up the hopper holder.
Weaknesses:
The trigger is very sensitive.
Review:
It is an ok gun for beginners but the trigger is so sensitive and i dont like it that much anymore. also when you have to turn it on its a paint in the batooty. because you have to hole the button for like 10 seconds then if you let go barely you have to start over again then turn the safety off. Also that you need certain paintballs because if you dont then the balls chop and pop in the hopper or barrel.
Conclusion:
Overall i would give it a 5 or 6 because it takes a while to turn it on then u have to push the buttun to turn the safety off. If you like to play in the woods where you sit there or lay there to blend in dont get this gun because when you go to lay down you always press the trigger 9 out of 10 times.
