Speed: I got the standard non e-grip model. But it has decent speed to do a 3 or 4 round burst with the trigger.
Trigger:A single trigger, that is nice because it makes you wanna shoot only when it counts in 3 or 4 round bursts.
Weight:Almost all of it is aluminum, but the main body is on the heavy side, and with a thick barrel you can feel it. With hopper, co2, and stock on, you can wedge it against your arm and get used to it.
Looks:the body itself is good and even, though the seams could look better. The clip is cheap plastic, but you can't tell at a first glance.
Efficiency:We had a whole 9oz to use, and with that we got around 450 paintballs at effective speeds.
Kick:A TINY bit when the bolt comes back.
Out of the box:It came with the velocity turned up as far as it went. It came with the gun, 11 inch barrel, shroud, stock, barrel sock, and in a baggy alan wrenches, lube, and an o-ring.
Maintaining the gun:The bolt can be hard to get out with all the screws to be taken out.
Consistency:It was shooting straight, out of 3 shots, 1 hit a bucket at 40 feet.
Pros:
Looks
clip toolkit
sights
hopper clamp
Thick barrel
Cons:
Cheap plastic for clip
hard to open clip toolkit
kinda heavy
Overall:
Its nice to have a gun with sights on it. Though not adjustable, its nice to be able to acquire targets fast and get them in your sights. With a remote line and qloader, this gun would be very effective for running and dropping prone.
Here are some photos I took of the features.
The shroud had a nub that goes into the gun and screws to lock in. I cut that because otherwise that screw would have to come out for me to take off the barrel and shroud.
It has placement for 3 alan wrenches and gun lube, like the X7.
This I liked, because you don't always need to screw it in just to target shoot or set your speed.
