This Gun had a nasty reputation for breaking a lot of paint. Not
from slicing the paintball as originally thought, but through the way the
gas was released. The gas release was to hard and distorted the ball,
which resulted in an over abundance of barrel breaks. Another problem
was it anemic Regulator. In rapid fire situations you lost velocity
quickly. This was primarily due to the small supply holes in the
Regulator. This design was to help keep liquid C02 out of the gun.
But, with all things considered, this is one of my favorites. It
was definitely a unique approach in firing a paintball
