Review:
This isn't my gun it's my best friends gun and it is a really good gun, it's too shiny for woods ball but it would be great for speed ball, it's just the only bad part about it is vertical feed, i hate it, u can't aim with it, but you do not need to get a new barrel for it, the barrel is perfect, i wonder why they don't compretion holes in it? Oh well, it still shoots straight, i guess, it was a windy day out in Minnesota yesterday and we shot it, from about 25-30 yards away that thing still shot semi-straight, it curved alittle bit but thatz normal in 25 mph winds, it's a really good gun.

Review:
I was really surprised with this marker when my friend got it, It shot almost as well as my stock Spyder(when my spyder was stock). We all went to a few 24 hour games and this gun never really needed to be fixed or tuned. A little oil in the correct places will keep this marker running for a while.A nice buy for someone without enough money to buy a higher end gun, or for some one getting into the sport.
Conclusion:
Pretty nice gun all around, for the price that is.

i recommend any one to get it. i got mine at walmart for only $100 and i am satisfied it comes with a 9 oz tank barrel plug, squeegee, a jt mask, and electronic hopper. This is a must get for any beginer or intermediate players. if any of you can tell me where i can get the vl barrel for it at a very inexpensive price.
Conclusion:
good gun for beginers and intermediate players. if you are a beginer and doesnt want to spend alot of money you should buy this gun.
balls breacks in barrel, needs cleaning of the barrel after every breack in barrel.
Review:
nice gun good for begginers or recreational use. Great for woods play. Works in any time and weather. barrel gives you away. Loud quantum Hopper. great gun for your money. great for beginners and intermediate players. can play almost every day. cheap to maintain the gun. hard to find parts for the rare occasion is hard to find.
Conclusion:
Good gun get it if you are itermediate or beginner paintballer.
I first used this gun today. Liked it since i'm a beginner at the sport. I read a few reviews just now about getting better barrels for this. I haven't seen any listed. What barrels will fit this gun??
Also, the loader has got to be changed. Clear isn't good to hide with. especially if you have yellow or blue paint. Also, the barrel gives you away also. I took a piece of camo fabric and put it over the gun to hide it a little.
Thanx.
Conclusion:
I think it was a good marker to use. I only used it for a few hours and liked the outcome of my game.
spyder, orion: comprapable but spyder is really solid
Marker Setup:
triad now
Recommended Upgrades:
get a new barrel or if you have a drill press and can use it put some holes on the barrel end to dispurse co2
Strengths:
inexpensive durable ease of cleaning
Weaknesses:
none yet
Review:
I only have taken the gun out twice, but it is working really well. Barrel makes balls shoot crooked, but that is easily fixed with a new barrel. The electronic loader is noisy, but worked well to get the paintballs down into the marker. The green color is cool and worked well with the camouflage. Flexible squegee (as many know) works well.
Conclusion:
good gun for the price. I liked the electronic loader.
