I just bought a Tiberius 8 today. It has seen a little action so far. I took it out in the woods late this evening along with my mask, tubes, spare mag + holster, and leg holster. The first thing I did was run up the hill with the pistol in the leg holster. Very comfortable. I made it further up the hill than usual before getting tired which makes sense since I wasn't carrying a full blown marker complete with CO2 tank and 200 paintballs. I'm sure the stock doesn't help weight either.
Regardless, I wanted to shoot the pistol, reload it, fire it on the run, reload it on the run, and reload balls in the mag while moving. I wasn't annoyed by any of these tasks. Sticking my hand in the tube to grab balls was about it which I chose to avoid the dumping method. I may change my technique in a more frantic time.
The pistol was accurate, the reload was a breeze, and the CO2 lasted for 2 and a half clips on each magazine. I didn't count the remaining balls on the third clip but I'm guessing I got twenty rounds per CO2 cart. That would vary depending on a few factors though. One being how quickly you tighten the screw for the CO2 tank between the puncturing and locking stages. The other would be not firing ball-less shots. I'm sure I did at least once per clip.
I like this pistol so far and I can't wait to use it in battle. Some people avoid the Tiberius 8 because of price but it has the two factors I wouldn't want to go without: .68 cal balls and magazine fed.
