Review

Looks: pretty basic, nothing amazing but not bad looking either. Comes in black,silver and blue.

Performance: the accuracy of this gun is O.K. I recommend a new barrel, but the stock one is fine. It is mechanical operation so it's not going to go 20 bps, but it is semi-automatic so it is still pretty fast. A gravity fed hopper is fine for this marker. This marker is quite light but a hopper and tank do weigh it down. I don't like how high up the hopper is.

Reliability: this gun is amazingly reliable. I've had mine for almost 2 years, it is used very often (awesome loaner) and I haven't had 1 problem with it.

Price: for less than $100 this is a great gun.

Conclusion

this is a pretty good marker for a great price and I would recommend this to you if for whatever reason, you don't want to spend to much money.
