Today i played for a couple hours with my buds. Most had 98 customs, and 2 or 3 had spyders. I used this gun completely stock and went thru 1 1/2 9oz tanks, (about 8 hoppers or so) and I owned it. We lost 2 rounds, and the 1 round was because i ran out of CO2 and the other one i got hit in the leg. The gun is pretty quiet agenst the 98's, and was pretty accurate with the stock barrel, i only chopped 2 balls all day but make sure you have you squeegee with you because balls fly all over the place when there are chopped ones in there. A longer barrel and better hopper will do wonders for the gun. We play in the woods, and I was tagging people like a mother. I give it a 4 out of 5 for the $$ of the gun.
if you are tight on cash, and only mess around with your friends this is the gun for you!
