custom carrying case, very high velocity, stock, 13" barrel, spyder threaded, it shoots
Weaknesses:
where should i start... the cradle looses about an ounce every time i take off the tank and i need to replace an o-ring, the safety does not work whatsoever, the barrel chops every other ball, it is loud, the stock does not fit on the gun without cutting off some of it, screws strip all the time, fails to re-cock, spring must be stretched out before and after every use, fires at random, too expensive for what it's worth, not easily field stripped
Conclusion:
it may be shiny and nice looking but i would highly reccomend NOT buying one. it isn't worth what it costs.
Shoots on target out the box. However, would recommend a quik disconnect, or remote co2 feed. And if u want greater accuracy a barrel.
Strengths:
Shoots quik. Put 200 rds. not a single one choppped.
This gun will make a sniper out of anyone.
Weaknesses:
Only thing it was hard to remove the tank afterwards. The o-ring on the CO2 tank expanded and it was no good ( see Recommend above). Other than that I'm in love!
Conclusion:
Execellent Gun would definately recommend. I ordered mine, they're the only ones to have in stock, and in black.

COMMANDO GT 2, 18" ammorson barrel, and 4x30 scope
Recommended Upgrades:
barrel
Strengths:
This gun is very well made and very reliable. The commando gt 2 is easy to take care of and to shoot. It has a very good triger respons and is very acurate. This gun is a good beginer or advanced player gun.
Weaknesses:
I have not found anything bad about this gun yet.
Conclusion:
I would recamend this gun to anyone who wants good performance and awsome looks. (go for it, be the best)
Spyder Elite, TL+, GT Cmndo 2, autococker, pirana pro g3, spyder extra
Marker Setup:
Spyder Elite: 6stage Exp chamber, 16" sniper, pro power bolt , remote and C02
Recommended Upgrades:
New barrel (stone cold 2), new steel hose
Strengths:
Low ball breakage
Huge imtimidation factor
Many same parts as spyder= easy to upgrade
Big exp chamber
Fast fire rate
Weaknesses:
Stock barrel is ok for speedball, but for most play, you need a new barrel
Steel hose broke on first play
Conclusion:
Excelent gun
great for back players or anyone wishing to scare the crap out of newbies
My bro put a sight on just for looks and it makes it look even better
Buy one
Its a good all around weather gun and performs good
Weaknesses:
Never ever take it apart unless u know what you are doing trust me on that one.
I blew my expansion chamber and valve right off the gun for not putting the right screw in.
Conclusion:
Buy at your own Risk. Get your self a tippman 98custom,Rebel extreme, or engima exr there great guns.
Avalon Commando 2
no super upgrades, except for viewfinder and camouflage
Recommended Upgrades:
barrel would be great, as with any other marker AND remote coil
because the gun is slightly longer and heavier than spyder
Strengths:
EVERYTHING!!
- It's easy to maintain, service and clean.
- It's easy in game and doesn't afraid dust.
- It looks ABSOLUTELY SEXY, as no any OTHER GUN! Especially - silver.
- Most parts are aluminum or steel.
- Parts are easy to order. I ordered some in their office in Houston, TX few times already. The secretary is nice, delivery promt. No mistakes, no bad parts.
Weaknesses:
NO SIGNIFICANT COMPALAINTS! I am another happy owner of GT!
However
1. it's (metal) bolts get rusted when wet (I played in rain).
2. Also it doesn't like cheap balls and cracks them.
3. Shoulder rod looks great but practically useless. It's not convenient to carry a gun longer than usual, unless you are a sniper.
4. It requires good cleaning, though O-rings are the same size and thi's not a problem. Also It doesn't mess with O-rings that often, as the other guy said. (I changed just one for 6 months-3 games)
5. It's better to cover or wrap a bottom part of a front handle, so that it wouldn't get scratched. Same with the rest of the body.
All after all, it's such insignificant details, that any other gun has. Or even worse! :o)
Conclusion:
ENJOY A GOOD STYLE, SEXY LOOK AND QUALITY OF AVALON!
none yet maybe a new barrel but the stock one doesnt due bad
Recommended Upgrades:
read above
Strengths:
Well i really like its balance and accuracy. The gun comes stock with some of the things you would upgrade first on most markers ie:low pressure system stock and expansion chamber. It can shoot really fast with the double trigger pull. To answer one message on this gun it does hold a 20 oz tank just like any marker that uses as co2 tank. Im not sure if its waterproof or if that is even a smart q to ask because who plays in the rain. I say if it gets wet take it apart fairly quickly and dry all wet parts.
Weaknesses:
i put 400 rounds pmi premium though it and it busted 1 ball (no big deal fixed easily with a squgee)
Conclusion:
This is a great gun i got mine off of ebay for 187.50 wich included 32 degree's mask 20oz tank 2 ball haulers with holster and the carrying case. I give it a 9 because nothing is perfect but if you have any questions on this marker id be happy to answer them for you.
Everything the same i wanted to get a new barrel but i thought it was stuipid to get it so soon
Recommended Upgrades:
u dont need a new barrel if u get it ummmm
dont get an ellectronic hopper not worth the money
Strengths:
nice elbow holder, it steasies the aim
trigger is fast and responsive
L(.)(.)K's nice
prity light
Weaknesses:
the gun noise it make is so anyonig but u get used to it
accuracy isnt as good as others
range is the same as the leasding competators
Conclusion:
i would recomend this gun for ppl who like the arm rest
the ACI is more exspensive but u get better accuracy and the name
the spyder is all out better but more exspenive i
if ur on a bugget get the commando 2 Not 1--2
but if u have more money got for the spyder or ACI
Gt commando 2 with armson stealth barrel, homemade raised sight rail, 9 volt hopper
Recommended Upgrades:
Definitly a new barrel- stock barrel looks good but chops balls. i put on an Armson Stealth and its accurate to within a foot from about 50 yds consistently.
Also sight rail. if you buy another sight rail with your gun, you can fit it on top of the other one easily, with a longer screw- thats what i did and it works great.
Strengths:
-Accuracy
-Shoulder Stock helps to steady aim
-AWESOME FOR SNIPING
-Doesn't jam
Weaknesses:
-Hard to dissasemble
-Stock barrel sucks
-Paint gets into weird places if a ball gets chopped or breaks
Conclusion:
I would definitly recommend it- great gun for the price
*It's good for snipers (me).
*comfortable
*looks tight
*good consistancy
*I haven't had a break or leak like many say
*comes with a bunch of extras
*comes with a back pack/carry case
*people got theirs for $200, i got my PACKAGE for $189. It came with a 12oz Co2 tank, factory parts kit, oil, plug, case, v-force armor mask upgrade($5), and free shipping cuz i ordered the christmas package
Weaknesses:
*Bad for speed ball (too long)
*loud barrel for snipers
*the carry case is really ugly
*power feed makes the sight rail useless
*hard to strip and oil, my parts didn't really fit together right.
*owners manual sucks @$$
*but i still wouldn't stop useing this gun
Conclusion:
There were 2 versions of this gun, the GT Commando2 which has all the problems leaks, breaks, etc. The one i have is the newer one they made called the Commando 2 (no GT). my gun works very well. some people have problems with this gun and it's becuase they use nitro, the new owners manual says not to use that. the gun is a little long, but i like the way you can remove th shoulder stock if you don't need it. i say this is a good entry level gun and if you plan on getting one get the COMMANDO 2.
