This is my new baby. I'll copy over what i wrote in the forums for the manufactuer, where some fans hang out.
[quote:8e087]First impressions:
Wow. To say the least the marker looks awsome, none of the pictures on any site do it justice. After a quick inspection i proceeded to read through the flimsy manual with horrible images, that were fairly blurry. Print the layout of the marker from this site, it will be better.
I then went over the marker with the wrenches tightening up screws i found to be loose as other had talked about. I found only 1. The tension nut on the M-4 style collapsable stock. The round open ended nut that adjust how much presure it takes to make the stock telescope. I found my optimal setting then placed a dab of super glue on the joint, not in the threads!
I removed the CO2/nitro elbow, dont forget to loosen the bolt holding it in place. Many people complain about the weight of the marker. I find it quite spot on for what it replicates, if used with a remote.
Shown in the pictures is most of my gear. Hey its better than seeing my torn apart bedroom. I replaced the clear elbow given with a "smoke" one. Added effect mostly. You will need a long barrel plug if you dont want to remove the "flash suppressor" after each round. It cant reach down the suppressor and meet the barrel. A plug similar to those used by most fields would work just fine.
A few issues:
1. There is no shown or written way telling you how to remove the M-4 style hand gaurds #37-1/37-2. If you attempt to remove the rear "slip ring" #39 it hangs on the O-ring at the rear of the barrel that is not numbered. Best i can figure is that you must remove the #31, the front sight assembly to remove the handgaurds. Which if you've taken the time to properly sight your marker, may force you to re-sight after every outting when you take the gun down completly for cleaning afterwards.
2. The illistrations under "assemble methods" on this site and in the manual are for the RIS version. I have been unable to locate the "front hand grip rear alignment screw" what should be #40. However my version is two sets of two screws set off vertical by about 45 degree's located on #39.
Overall:
Im impressed. It seems like a sound marker that should give years of service if maintained properly. I've yet to fire it since it was about 11:00pm when i got home to find it waiting. Tomorrow i go to purchase a remote for it, im still waiting on my CO2/nitro, holder for the tank so i may not get to play this sunday. I probably will still go to the field just to get the marker set for the 23rd. Unforunatly i probably wont play any games. I'll let you know how she shoots.[/quote:8e087]
Since i wrote that i have been given ansers to my two concerns. Im hopeing my remote and carrying bag get here tomorrow, if they do i will likly head to a field sunday to set the weapon up and get a feel for it. I dont think my tank holster will be here before then, which sucks because i wont get to play games just tinker.

You're both wrong, it looks like an M-4 Carbine. oOo:
D00d, I still say that is the coolest thing I've seen in awhile. Misc, how much does it weigh?

It feels like 5 or 6 pounds. Paintballarmory.com says like 6.4. Its pretty hefty for a paintball gun. But it feels so damn real when your holding it. Its pretty well balenced. My remote should be here today before 1500 so i'll probably fire a few rounds off out my door. fire2:

That's EXCELLENT! The actual weight of the M4 Carbine is about 6.7 lbs. The M16 with no ammo is 7.8, with a full 20rd clip, its 8.2. That's very cool. Damn, I gotta save some cash! biggrin:

If it plays/shoots as well as it looks, that's pretty damn cool.
