curacy was…just a word that didn’t
really apply. As the HEAT core and
mechanics of the marker enable it to
deliver paintballs accurately, a barrel
swap was in order. Thankfully, the
M17 accepts Tippmann A5-threaded
barrels and when we added a fourteen inch Stiffi barrel to the marker,
accuracy improved over all ranges
and the sound of the firing marker
was drastically reduced. With a good
quality aftermarket barrel like those
available from GOG, CP, Lapco, Dye
or many other companies, the M17
is more than capable of shooting as
accurately as any other marker at
any range, with fist-sized groups at
close range opening up but remaining predictable at fifty feet and beyond. With First Strike rounds and a
proper setup, the M17 can quickly be
built into a positively lethal “designated marksman rifle.”
Well-built, attractive, adaptable,
consistent, reliable, easily maintained and, of course, fully automatic without electronics, the Milsig M17
is an excellent mag-fed paintball
gun. Truly a standout in the magazine-fed paintball world, the M17 is
an excellent choice for any serious
tactical or scenario player ready to
flip the switch to “get some” and let
the paint fly!

Accuracy Test
We recently received a second
marker from Milsig and put it
through a pretty rigorous accuracy
test. Here’s what we found:
At a distance of 75 feet with a non
bench-mounted marker we fired 400
rounds, hitting the 22” X 22” target
381 times.
At 100 feet with a non
bench-mounted gun we fired 400
rounds at the same target hitting
the mark 323 times.
Repeating the test at 125 feet we hit
the mark 288 times.
Chrono Test
Using fresh Valken Redemption paint
we fired 100 rounds
