great out of the box
cheap
reliable

break beam eyes
very easy to use
different firing modes(i think is stupid cause you cant use them at fields)
very efficent(gets like 700 shots out of a 47ci 3000psi n2 tank)
Cons-
body is mainly plastic
crappy regulator stock
crappy trigger stock
barrel is kinda crappy stock but thats with all cheaper guns

and yes this is a great tourny gun; just about all guns are great tourny guns cuz its not the gun its the player.

I am getting sick of all the references to the plastic "outer shell" that surrounds the fully aluminum and powder coated (very durable, unlike anodized, and what is found on reliable guns like Tippmanns). The body is fully aluminum and very sturdy....and then surrounding that is a polymer shell that is so made of the same stuff found on certain car manufacturer's (*cough* Saturn *cough*) car doors. The body is much stronger and much more durable than any other gun in the same market because it is fully aluminum, powder-coated, and has the polymer shell surrounding the vital areas.

I'll agree with you on the trigger, I'm not impressed with the plastic trigger.

The barrel that comes stock (Smart Parts "Progressive") is actually pretty damn good. However, when I had my 98c I switched the ****ty 8in barrel that came stock on that over to the 14in Progressive barrel so I have a loyalty bias.

The regulator has been good to me so far and all the shots have been coming out extremely consistently.
