Let’s talk about how the marker feels and then I will get to performance. This marker is light! It is made of glass reinforced nylon wrapped around an aluminum internal sleeve. It feels like a feather and is absolutely rock solid in your hands. The grip is comfortable and with a 68/45 tank sitting on the back it feels great sitting up on your shoulder and aiming down the barrel. The foregrip, which houses the battery, is in my opinion positioned perfectly on the marker making it extremely easy to maneuver. The grip frame also sports an LED so that you can easily confirm operation and the silver power button used to power the marker on also allows you to program the marker and change firing modes. Lastly, the trigger on the marker is pretty stiff out of the box with a fair amount of travel. Thankfully 066 paintball.media magazine though, the trigger can be tuned and adjusted by the end user so that it best fits your individual playing style. AT THE CHRONO I chrono’d the marker without making any velocity adjustments or changes to the settings. This was straight out of the box. Up to this point I was pretty impressed with this little marker and was really looking forward to seeing how consistent it was going to be. The barrel that was used was the stock barrel tip with .689 back that came with the marker. I fired off four strings of 15 rounds.
