US Army Alpha Elite Paintball Marker with E-Grip, Black

Great except for 1 flaw - The battery. WHY, WHY, WHY couldn't they have made the magazine the battery compartment. Personally a brand new battery only lasted me about 6 rounds of play. First you notice a drop in the rate of fire, then the gun wont fire at all. Was surprised it didn't revert back to semi auto when battery was dead but it must be a design compromise for the etrigger. Once the battery is dead you need to unscrew the grip and replace. i can quicky see this becoming an issue over time, not to mention being screwed if you dont have you allen wrench with you.Another big design flaw is the on'off and selector button is located in the handle. You need a small allen wrench or nail to be able to turn the gun on/off or change from semi to 3 round burst to low auto to high auto. These really should have been switches on the gun easily accessible.The final issue i had, and im not sure if this was intended in the design or not was the trigger on auto. i found the only way to trigger the gun to shoot fully automatic was to pull the trigger a couple of times quickly before holding it down. This took some getting used to but wasnt so bad once i had.These design flaws really mean that this gun is only going to be attractive to a select group of amateur paintballers. However at this price point it's not so bad. Be aware, the gun starts out heavy, add on the fast auto hopper and a decent tank and it's quite heavy.Accessories i would highly recommend: Auto feeder, aircord and some kind of vest or belt to hold your tank as well as lots of extra ammo. First time out i found i used about 500 rounds. Everyone had to wait while i went back to reload. After that i was more careful with my shots but i still went through all my ammo by 2 games. I also upgraded my gun with barrel grip, a 20" barrel and a basic scope. I needed to also buy some risers to get the scope high enough to use with the paintball mask, but found it well worth it for getting a good look at the other team and where my shots where falling. It did take alot of adjusting to get the scope somewhat in line with where my paint landed. Also once again remember to bring spare batteries. Depending on your type of play you could find you and your gun sitting out half the day if you rely on the 1 battery you brought.At the end of the day, this gun was alot of fun. You get alot of functionality for about $350 worth of gun and accessories. And if nothing else, take you friends over to the "testing range" before heading out to the field. One look at those paintballs flying out the end of that gun like a stream of water will have them thinking twice when aiming at you.

Relatively accurate. The electronic trigger makes a significant difference. Accuracy is good, even though the aim has a small shift to the left. Once you get used to it you can hit an acorn from 30 yards with little effort. We got the 20oz Co2 bottle so this is pretty heavy and shifts the balance which is not an issue once you get used to it. Not bad overall.

So far we have been very happy with these markers. We purchased one of them for every member of the family. Used them with and without remote lines. The remote line does make these markers easier to handle for smaller or weaker players. It's easy to get paint on target with these markers. They are very durable and seem to be easy to clean. Would recommend for anyone who wants a good marker that is easily customizable and won't break the bank. Plus You'll know you have Tippmanns customer service if you ever need them.

I will be using the gun this weekend and I can't wait! I received the gun with everything advertised. No 9v battery included for the Egrip but thats not a big deal. YES the gun is a little heavy but what do you expect from a gun that is made to look and feel legitimate? Awesome.

Fantastic paintball gun! Semi Auto, 3 round burst and 2 full auto modes!! this thing is awesome and my some loves it!

Love the way it shoots, but still getting use to the E trigger

It's a good gun but the egrip doesn't work properly I have to press the trigger twice just to shoot a paintball

I sent the first gun I received back cause of battery problems but the replacement is on point no problems so far I love this gun
