I first started playing paintball two years ago when I met my current boyfriend. At the time, he loaned me his Auto-Mag and after playing with it for several weeks, I knew I found the gun for me. Now I own one it's never failed me.

This gun is much smaller and lighter than the Shocker and Autococker, two of the best guns in the paintball market today. Due to that it makes it a very good choice for players, especially women. It still fires quite rapidly and once you're used to the gun, you can give even a Shocker a run for it's money. (My boyfriend and I have tested this on several occasions and come quite close!) The price range is affordable too, around five hundred dollars (US) uncustomized and basic. A shocker will run close to a thousand dollars (US) uncustomized.

In terms of endurability, this gun wins hands down in comparison with the Shocker and the Autococker, two of the pickiest guns I've ever seen. As long as I clean my gun about once a week (or less if I haven't played) and replace various parts (Oil, springs, o-rings) as required, I've never had a single problem or misfire. Besides being inexpensive and reliable, it's also very easy to customize.

If you've already used some of the cheaper guns and weren't quite satisfied, spend the extra money on this gun. You simply can't go wrong.
