Just to answer the last few questions posted here...

Speedball w/ Phantom: Really, your marker's not the big factor when it comes to your style of play. I'll play paintball in any way, shape or form, but I admit I prefer woodsball. The Phantom works just fine be it speedball, woodsball, airball, or what have you. The nice thing is that with different barrel lengths, stocks and positioning of the 12-gram changer, you can customize a Phantom exactly how you like to use it. I've played all styles with many, many markers and to me, the Phantom is the most versatile and adaptable. It's really an all-around marker. Lastly, just because nobody else plays stock-class, why does that make it pointless? Play stock anyhow...

Slick Honey: Well, that's a proprietary name and I have no idea what's in it, so I can't say. You do want to steer away from petroleum-based lubricants, though. WD-40, for example, is no good. Why? Petroleum products break down the rubber seals. That's why there's paper/cork gaskets (no rubber) on fuel systems. Synthetic lubricant is best and I personally use Gold Cup. It's cheap, works well and is super slick. Clean and oil after every time you play - no exceptions - and your marker will treat you well in return.

Rear 12-gr. changer: Yes. That's a screw-in 12-gr. changer just like on all the others that is removable to accept a constant air source. I know it's kinda hard to see. The only Phantom valve which MUST be run on 12-grams is a drop-out "bucket" changer.

Hope that helps. Good luck, fellas!
