5/10- do you really need a egg for a gun that slow? Also its heavy, has no ups, and its just stock. You should have waited and got the assault one with the e grip.
Yes you need an electric hopper just to prevent chops and misfeeds the only time I don't use one is when I'm playing stockclass. Enjoy the Alpha Black they are a nice looking marker on a proven platform you can worry later about the endless treadmill of marker upgrading so many of the kids are so in love with. I'll give it a 7/10 I like the way the Alpha black looks without a stock.
