I bought this gun in a kit with a mask, hopper, 2 ball holders, a game flag, barrel squeegee, and a barrel plug for $30.00. I thought it was going to be a cheap gun that didn't work well but it's awesome!!! It fires fast, it's pretty accurate and it's light. The only thing is that it's pretty loud but who cares. Sure you can buy a $400.00 gun that would destroy this one but for the price you cannot beat it!

I have had this gun for about a month now. If you want to get into paintball, then this is the kit for you. It is great if you want to play with your freinds but if you plan to get more serious then I would get a better gun.

It says you can upgrade the barrel but you can't. It doesn't come with a Co2 tank but for this price, they would lose money! You also get a Anti-Fog mask too.

Pros:
Low Cost
Functions Well

Cons:
No upgraded barrel
Plasic Gun (compared to metal)

Overall, good if you are just getting into paintball.

Quick: The perfect starter set, it comes with everything you need except paintballs, a CO2 tank, a place to play, and people who have their own stuff to play with!

Long:

Pros: This gun is easy to use and clean, making it easy to play with. It is more accurate than many of the other guns I have seen. In addition, the set comes with almost everthing you need, all high quality.

Cons: No CO2 tank, which you need to play and would be easy to include. Also, it has an integrated barrel, which means you can't take it off, so if you find out you like hiding in trees and sniping so you want a longer barrel, you're out of luck with this gun.

This gun that comes with the kit is good value...fairly accurate, good rate of fire, nothing above ordinary really. It is kinda sad that you cant change barrels, but there really isnt a big need to. The game flag and the paintball canisters have come in handy in a few Capture-the flag-games, but the mask is crap. Sure it is anti-fog, but the material is really cheap, and it takes a while to break it in and get it adjusted and back in shape.

I would recommend this for people just starting off with paintball (dont forget to buy CO2!)

This is a great gun. Its my first and I love it. I recomend the Striker for begginers. I've heard its not the greatest for tournaments though.

This gun is beautiful, just beautiful. It shoots like a pro. The cyclone feed system is ingenious and with the Smart Parts barrel this thing kills. I haven't broken a ball yet and it's dead accurate. I was hitting a 6 inch target at 60 feet (Diablo Midnight) and out of the 15 balls shot, all 15 hit one on top of the other. I've used all kinds of guns including high end electros but this thing just floats my boat. I play woodsball and this thing is just perfect for that. I love the fact that it's accurate and I can pump out balls fast with out a break. I used to hate how balls used to curve crazily and never go where you wanted them, but with this gun and barrel this thing hits dead on. The stock adds that extra stablization needed to get a good shot off and realisim. The two things that bug me about this gun is that when using the red-dot sight it's partially blocked due to the hopper but just get the micro cap and you'll be fine and if your using a 20oz tank it takes some getting used to because it's about the same length of the stock but a smaller tank will fix that. Other than that this gun is perfect. Some claim the cyclone feed is humongo compared to a regular hopper but they're realitively the same. Weight here is not an issue unless your a pansy. It weighs around 2 lbs give or take a little. If you can't carry around six pounds with a SLING that lessens the weight than I think you should just jump in front of a car right now. Quit complaining. 2lbs people, someone with no arms could lift that. Just make sure you sight in the red-dot and it would help if you got the micro cap or take the top part off an ammo pod. This gun deserves a 5 outta 5. No ball breaks, great accuracy, decent range, ultra durable, very reliable, and has a great feel to it. After my buddies played with it they all wanted it. They wanted to give up their 98's and Spyder's after about 5 seconds with my gun. Great gun, and if your still wondering if you should buy it, DO IT, you won't be sorry.

I oiled all of the O-rings with the oil provided according to instruction. The first 200 rounds fired flawlessly...then it was all downhill from there. The marker then went to rapid fire for about 5 shots. I recocked it...and another 5 rapid fires. So I broke the weapon down, cleaned and re-oiled (in case I missed anything). Again the first 200 rounds or so fired perfectly. Then the cycle repeated itself two more times. I am in the process of returning the entire kit. PLEASE spend the extra money and buy something of quality. It's embarrassing/frustrating when your Discount gear fails you in the middle of the game and you have to watch from the sidelines. Please learn from my lesson. I now have to endure the hassles of repacking, paying shipping costs, and waiting for a refund.

I've only used the Striker in "combat" twice, but it has performed well. For the price you can't beat it. Good for those like me (a Dad) who needs to have something to use with his son. This marker gets the job done. It is a little louder that some of the others, but if you have them in your "sights", then just fire away. Speaking of sights, there really is none that I can tell. Just look down the barrel and aim as best you can. Fairly good accuracy and velocity. This one is good for a starter marker.

About ten of us decided to play woodsball with the same equipment. I have played before with much more expensive (rented) markers. We bought this kit for only about $35 and all of us are extremely satisfied with the quality and aim of this Brass Eagle. Truly ideal for beginners who want to play a casual game with other beginners! The markers look like a joke, but the pain is real...

These are fun to use and works like a more expensive gun without the high price. Caution to people who have not used these guns before though: the balls can hurt and also be very careful to pull the lever on top otherwise all the CO2 will run out for the next time you want to play, or you can buy a refillable cartridge. We have all had a fun time playing and the accessories that come with this gun are essential to have to be safe.
