32 Degrees Rebel Bottomline w/J&J Ceramic Barrel, VL200 hopper, Pro-Team Products Intruder Expansion System, 20 oz. Co2 tank (soon to be compressed air)
Recommended Upgrades:
A NEW BARREL, i recommend a J&J Ceramic. Since the bottomline leaks straight from the get-go, get the Pro-Team Intruder Expansion System.
Strengths:
Cheap, light, Cheap, if upgraded it can be a very nice gun
Weaknesses:
bad barrel, bad ball detent (on mine atleast) leaks at bottomline
Review:
this is my 3rd gun, i just got it a few weeks ago and i'm already putting some nice upgrades on it. I got a new barrel and the Pro-Team Intruder Expansion System. The only problem I've been having is that it will double fire alot. My friend told me to check the trigger and oil it. Also, after my first shot, all the balls were falling out of the barrel. I tightened the barrel thinking it could be that, but that didn't help. I took off the barrel and looked at the ball detent and saw that it had cut. Since the detent is only a small nipple like piece of rubber, it was very week. 32 Degrees includes another one in the parts kit that comes w/the gun. I replaced it and my problem was solved. I only now need to figure out how to stop the double fire.
Conclusion:
If your a newbie or someone that just needs a good backup gun, BUY THIS. It's a cheap and fun gun, just need to put a little time and money into it.
i went to denton paintball feild and my other guns broke so i use a rental. the first game it un cocked and the cocker broke off and i had to take the tank off and cock it with my pinky.
i got another one and it also broke i was mad
i only played 4 games but i took out angel c+c and a auto cocker but like i say its not the gun its whos behind it . it didnt break 1 ball out of 1000 balls
Conclusion:
its a good gun dont get me wrong works with about any paint( maybe because it not powerful at all). it will probably break if you dont take care of it but watg would you expect from a rental
rebel bottomline, true flight qb barrel, lcd electronic trigger frame, 12 volt revy, remote line
Recommended Upgrades:
new barrel, stock stinks like the rest of them. new trigger and grip system, the stock one has a heavy pull. thats it!
Strengths:
cheap, doesn't chop balls, good for beginers
Weaknesses:
not that accurate
Review:
I think that is gun is great for any one that is starting out at the sport. It is a cheap gun that is very dependable. It is easy to take apart up to the time that you have to remove the bolt, that can be a little annoying.
you would probably need to buy a new barrel for it, even though the stock one doesn't chop balls, it isn't accurate.
Conclusion:
i would highly recomend this gun to anyone that is starting out in hte sport. I have had good luck with it and am very happy.
Rebel '02 Bottomline with 32Degrees Elec. Trigger Frame, cyclone bolt, and 32Degrees whisper barrel. Getting HPA.
Recommended Upgrades:
You NEED a new barrel if you buy/rent this gun. Their factory barrel is a piece and a half, I'd rather use a paper towel tube. well worth the 20-60 dollar mid range upgrade barrel.
Strengths:
Doesn't break paint
Fairly air efficient
Easy to mod up
32 Degrees Product
This is a great gun for beginners and intermediate alike. I can't afford an angel or a cocker, and I got this nice little gun for about $75. It's basically a spyder compact 2k, but it's made by 32 degrees, parts are easier to find, and it's a little more durable. Not to mention there's some crizazy mods like the new Egrips, 4 or 5 different types of bolts, etc. I like the top cocking, but for you vintage cocker fans, you can convert it to rear cocking. Without the e-frame, you don't need any special hopper, but with a ROF increasing mod(ie Shorter Trigger Pull, RT, Egrip) you need an E-Hopper or even a HALO might be beneficial.
Conclusion:
Wonderful gun right out of the box, but definately needs a new barrel. Should probably replace the stock ball detent with the one they give you in the parts kit. Factory one is kinda worn or small or something, but my paint would fall out my barrel all the time. They give it to you though, so it's not very costly($0). Perfect gun for a first or second marker. Look for packages, I bought mine with Gogs, Tank, Hopper, 500 rounds for $99. $50 barrel upgrade.
expansion chamber and a new barrel. venturi bolt and new spring.
a electronic trigger frame is also possible
Strengths:
very fast for a starter marker. easy to clean.
Weaknesses:
chops ball if you have rec ball for example
Review:
I am very sattisfied with this marker. this is my first marker and I think it's good enough for a starter marker. the stock barrel i very good if you use the right ball. i shot about 1000 nelson nelsplats trough it with no ballbreak, but with diablo rec one of 3 balls breaked in the barrel or on the bolt. works great with expansion chamber if you have co2. it's very easy to clean.
Conclusion:
good starter marker, works great with the right paintballs. it is cool and shoots very fast. upgradable with electronic grip frame.
I have used a Spyder Compact 2000 and it was a lot better than the Rebel (bottomline). It shot faster, more accurate, and is more durable.
Marker Setup:
I use a Tippmann Pro-Carbine and the 32 Degrees Rebel (bottom-line) w/ a 6 stage expansion chamber and 14" Night Stick barrel, stock barrel, 12" Xcel barrel.
Recommended Upgrades:
I would recommend an expasion chamber and a longer barrel.
Strengths:
When beefed up it looks intimidating. The first game I kick but with it.
Weaknesses:
Many parts. Broking or lost parts can become costly. O-rings stink, bottom line leaks.
Review:
I still like the Rebel even with the drawbacks. I however, like to use my Pro-carbine more since I can trust it more and is more durable. I would recommend this marker to anyone who wants a cheap marker to begin with but a Spyder would be better. This marker seems to be made cheaply and in mass quantities. It is like a toy car you would buy from China or Vietnam. It will last awhile but will eventually brake and to replace parts it is costly. If you know what you are doing and are experienced with similar models then it would be a good marker to have.
Conclusion:
I conclude that is marker is about above average if you beef it up. There are better markers out there for your money. So either buy a Tippmann and get you money's worth and go for a Spyder which is way better for about the same price as the Rebel.
Kingman Spyder Compact 2000------------Nothing compared to the Rebel
PMI Pirhana-----------Not as good as the Rebel
Marker Setup:
Rebel Bottomline with Palmer Stabilizer, CMI Tru-Flight Barrel, 20 oz tank, Bob Long Delrin bolt, 32* Large drop forward, 12V revvy.........
Recommended Upgrades:
You NEED the Palmer Stabilizer!!! The best thing for CO2! A new barrel
Strengths:
This marker is CHEAP!!! I got mine for like $50 on the net.
Very simple internals! If something breaks down, you almost know what the problem is already just by hearing the marker shoot.
Upgradable like crazy!!!
Doesn't break paint at all! I can shoot Brass Eagle's through it and work fine.
32* will send free parts if you have a problem with your rebel!
Weaknesses:
Under-rated!
The stock barrel sucks like all of them....Just buy a new one.
It does tend to freeze when firing like crazy in the cold weather...Easily fixed with a Palmer
Conclusion:
I have had this marker for 1 year now and it has been the greatest marker I have gotten....It is reliable, simple, cheap, and very upgradable....People say that many things go wrong with this marker. WELL....IF YOU MAINTAIN IT PROPERLY, IT'LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND. Mine is still holding up and now I'm entering tourneys with it....I can't wait until 32* makes the Electro Trigger for the Classic rebels like this one....
GO OUT AND BUY THIS REBEL RIGHT NOW! YOU WON'T BE LET DOWN....IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, PM ME ON THE FORUMS....

-expansion chamber
Strengths:
-good rate of fire (6bps)
-good fit and finish
-comfortable grip
-great color (green)
-good durability
-low price ($80)
-good weight and balance
-does not freeze up
-does not shoot hot too often
Weaknesses:

Conclusion:
I would highly recommend this gun to anyone. It can compete with more expensive guns with listed upgrades, and will still be cheaper! Get it if you want to. Will not break down unless not properly cared for. Get it if you want a affordable, reliable, accurate gun to start out with or to keep as a back-up in case your primary breaks down.
excellent accuracy!, i especially like the velocity adjuster, also has a great price! I have only had this gun for about 2 weeks now, and i have only used it once, but i loved it! It is by far the best bang for the buck. The stock barrel is good for speedball, and i especially like the ambidextrous cocking on it. the gun is very easy to dissasemble and clean.
Weaknesses:
Well, the stock barrel and bolt suck, but if you replace them... nothing is bad
Conclusion:
I would recommend this gun to n e one. Especially tournament players that need backups. But for those backyard bashers, this is a great gun to use because you don't spend much money.
A Rebel Bottomline with a 12 oz tank, regular stock barrel.
Strengths:
Lasts long with a 12 oz tank (I get about 700 shots out of it)
Very light and small, making it very good for spedball and pretty good for woods.
Easy to use- so rookies (like me) can get a feel for how a paintbal gun works and slowly take steps up to bigger and better guns.
Quiet, so not everybody's going to know where you are, only the guy you're shooting at and other players close by
Affordable- The most I've seen thisgun for was 130 dollars. Very good for the low-income player.
Weaknesses:
Not very good firing speed- the double trigger is just a little too big
Semi-poor accuracy-definitely needs a rifle barrel.
Conclusion:
The first game I played with this gun, I shot 3 Tippmans; two 98 customs (one with the Flatline sniper system) and an A-5. This is a great gun for starters and novice players alike. Easy to use and affordable, this gun will bring many new players into the scene.
