it has a very good CO2 usage, doesnt drain very much
Weaknesses:
It's pretty loud from the clanging of the cocker.
Review:
If you just file down the cocker, then it's not as loud. I plan on making a new cocker for it, so that it' not loud and doesnt clang. The only other problem I can see is the barrel it comes with, it's only about 9 inches, and has no range. I would recommend a 14" or 16" barrel, even a 12" would do good.
Conclusion:
I really like this gun, it was my firs gun, and never jammed or failed in a match. Very good for beginners
My new spyder pilot-the spyder pilot is a million times better
Marker Setup:
Blue to black fade spyder pilot
14 inch j and j ceramic barrel
Shock tech top cocking spyder bolt
blue Dye sticky grips
lapco clamping feedneck without holes
evolution 2 hopper with y board
i will be switching over to hpa and then i getting a new board and a new drop off and maybe a reg.
triton 2 (soon to be sold or given away)

Hard to find parts.
Mass produced.
Review:
Well overall its ok it has its flaws like anything else. It looks ok and is light. Its a good gun for newer people wonting to get into the sport but not sure as how long its cheap 80$ for goggles, gun, 9oz tank, and barrel plug. So you will be ready to play out of the box. Overall its a ok gun.
Conclusion:
I only recommend this gun for someone with no experience and for someone who's not sure if they wont to get into the sport.

I have tested a lot of the Tippmann markers and the Triton II beats them a whole lot of them.
Marker Setup:
Viewloader Triton II, all the stuff that comes with the pack.
Recommended Upgrades:
A better barrel, electric hopper.
Strengths:
It is accurate, shoots fast, doesn't waste air, light, cheap price, rarely chops balls.
Weaknesses:
Loud, no hand grip.
Review:
Out of a lot of the paintball guns that I have tried, this is the best so far. When I played in tournaments with other people, I did pretty well. I would not recommend this in a pro tournament or a high velocity tournament, unless you make the velocity higher. I could hut a pop can from far away, even though it took about 10 shots.
Conclusion:
I would recommend this if you have at least 1 year of experience.
Tippmann 98
Tippmann A-5
Pirahnas
Diablo Wrath
Ion
Much better
Marker Setup:
Stock, 48/3000 pure energy (ion on the way), 10 inch aluminum barrel, VL hopper
Recommended Upgrades:
Bolt, Barrel, Feedneck, Drop foward....the gun
Strengths:
Easy to use, shoots straight, cheap, light
Weaknesses:
Leaks WAY too much air, Chops Balls
Review:
You can find this gun at every wallmart, and K-Mart. Its a complete beginner's gun. Comes with a aluminum "10 barrel, end of the barrel acts as a shroud. Its a triton, they go as cheap as possible on everything making it a fairly cheaply made gun. The bolt is very cheap, along with the feedneck. I don't know how many balls i have lost from a loose hopper from the feedneck. Nice color isn't too flashy but not ugly. Grip is reliable and easy to hold on to.
Conclusion:
If you are just starting paintball and like woodsball i would recommend this gun. All in all its pretty light, efficient, and ok looking. But trash it when you are ready to move forward.

nothing big a running trigger and turn up the power its not to powerfull.
Strengths:
A fast per second decent power.
Weaknesses:
Semi-automatic not as powerfull as more exspensive guns.
Review:
This gun is good for a novice not a begginer!It has a small chance to stand in a high velocity league i reccommend that the power be turned up.I would say that if your on a paintball team stay out of a high velocity team.Thats all i have to say.
This was my first ever paintball gun. I got it for $170 cdn at wally world. I used it for the first time during a game of woodsball a few days later. The next morning I attached my co2 tank and air started rushing out of everywhere. I probably broke an oring or something but I decided to take it back, not worth the time + money to fix. This gun also chops. I chopped like 5/500. I ended up buying my Pirahna in a kit for $100 cdn.
Conclusion:
It is alright if you know how to fix it. Im a newb and I didnt know how.

LOUD, Aim sucks, no sight rail, the worst gun i've ever used
Review:
I have been playin for awhile and this is by far the worst gun ive ever used and the only reason i have this peice of junk is because i lost my spider shutter in hurricane Katrina and it was a birthday present from my mom's cheap boyfriend. some birthday present huh?
I've used different kinds of viewloader and spyder markers, and they all were better than this cheap crude.
Marker Setup:
spyder fenix acs
Recommended Upgrades:
a longer barrel is a must if you want to use this gun, but even with a new barrel its probably gonna suck big nuts.
Strengths:
Affordable
Air efficient
Weaknesses:
No where close to accurate
Loud
High maintanaince
Chops balls like crazy
Review:
i recommend this gun to anyone who plans to suck really bad at paintball. i wouldnt consider this a good beginner gun either because any beginner with this paintball gun probably wouldnt stand a chance against somebody else. i regret everyday that i bought this gun because it drastically lowers your chance of shooting a person while your playing. i had to charge my opponents just to get in range of shootin them out. i have never fired a straight shot with this worthless hulabaloo; each shot went a different direction when i fired it, or it got chopped . You can hear this gun shoot a mile away! Its a disgrace to paintball! DONT BUY IT!!!!
Conclusion:
Dont make the same mistake i did by buying this gun. it may be cheap, but dont let the price and name decive you, because it's a freakin piece of crap. Im giving it a two because im going to show sympathy and mercy to viewloader for making this junk.

Review:
This gun is no good it chops like crazy.I meen every second shot it chops, even with good paint it still chops.Its so loud it gives off ur position.It sounds like it breaks after each shot mainly cause of the many chops.The gun is so inaccurate it couldnt hit the ocean at the beach.
