hows it shoot

**tlmiller** · May 7th, 05:41 PM

Not bad, similar in feel to an early pm (not as smooth as a PM7/PM8/DM, but smoother than an Ion/PMR). Very nicely made, for the most part. The power button is all mushy, and you REALLY have to mash it to get it to recognize that you're pushing it. I'll use it this weekend for games to see how it does, but first impressions just through airing it up and firing are that I don't like it.

edit: The RAPS sytem is GREAT though. Most intelligently designed on/off EVER!!

How much was that purdy marker, also would you be looking to sell the superstock??

**tlmiller** · May 7th, 05:54 PM

I got the G3 for $330. And superstock is not for sale. I use it fairly often still since the E2 is still my hands down favorite trigger EVER. It's very rare for me to actuall SELL equipment. That's how I wind up with 10 or so barrel kits, 9 guns, 5 loaders. I only will sell duplicates (in the case of the SystemX) or absolute JUNK (in the case of the Torque loader).

is it any good?
i am thinking of buying one
is it worth the 430$

***martix_agent*** · May 12th, 04:05 PM

I'm gonang et reamed for thsi but what on earth is a G3? who makes it?

**the_real_kaz** · May 12th, 04:23 PM

Dangerous Power makes it......... look what thread its in......

The G3 is the American version of the IQ (European marker) and they are both the new and imporved (basically smaller) Threshold.

tlmiller: How is the trigger on the G3?? It looks well really lose from all the pics i've seen...

***martix_agent*** · May 12th, 04:24 PM

ah dangerous power. that company who makes FASOR markers that everyone says i need to use before I bash them again fro being FASOR

**the_real_kaz** · May 12th, 04:29 PM

Exactlly.

But this isn't a fasor.... Its actually alot like the old ICD freestyles (again with being smaller and new boards and so on), of course with better parts becuase it's not made by ICD....

***martix_agent*** · May 12th, 04:32 PM

The late model freestyles hit the nail on the head, but they were toast after the 04 version came out and sucked badly; giving it a bad name.

so this is a blow forward marker?

**the_real_kaz** · May 12th, 04:42 PM

Yup, I'm not sure how they got by the SP patents on the Ion though... must be very close to the freestyles.

**tlmiller** · May 12th, 04:50 PM

ACtually, the G3 is a non lpr'd balanced spooler. Just like a Shocker. Shoots very similar to an NXT. Get efficiency similar to an NXT. Whole lot lighter though, and better looking.
The trigger isn't bad. It's spring return (I'm fond of magnetic return), and does have a LITTLE slop side to side, but no more than most guns in the sub $500 price range.
Overall, after a day of play, I'd say it's a good gun, but fails to dethrone the Mini as one of the best values in paintball. I definitely would take it over a Shocker, stock PMR or PMR SE, or any of the FASOR guns. The on/off is the best in paintball. I think it also has the best feedneck I've ever used. However, that BUTTON!!! It's so mushy. Still, shoots good, good consistency, and light (was using it with my Sly kit).

**the_real_kaz** · May 13th, 11:07 AM

Really... Its not a blow forward.... Are you sure??

LoL that button really bugs you. I have to agree that the Mini is a great value buy. The on/off is nice, the fusion i've used has RAPS, the only complaint I have with it is that when it's off the lever just kinda hangs their and can get in the way. but it's an awsome system.
