^^^^^ Thanks for the rating! I played with the F1 Illustrator just last weekend. It was tons of fun, the paint was crappy though - but the F1 handled it very well.
People were breaking paint everywhere - as for me -
I didn't break any paint in the gun or hopper (I set the gun to shoot at just 275-280fps) but you can see the skin of some of the paintballs peel away as they were being shot. Just crappy paint.
I got a chance to take down some guy with a Spyder Imagine. He would shoot full-auto but the shots would fall and roll near my feet - somewhere in my 6-7 paintballs I shot back at him I got lucky with a goggle shot. Just fun!
Again - thanks for the comments all.
