this is my first gun

it only chopped once at the end of the day out of around 1000 paintballs

this package includes everything you need,they sent me a different mask than the one shown but still good.stock barrel is accurate. suggest get gloves.stock is good even with tank on

I was at Scheels one day and I saw a MR1 sniper kit for $170 and you got the gun, a tank, a hopper, and a mask which is still a pretty good deal but when you get all the other stuff with it that just makes it soooooo much better. The gun is great shoots very fast and my friend doesn’t want to play with me now because he is too afriad of it. The only trouble I had was the remote coil didnt come with instructions but thanks to good old YouTube i got it all figured out!

Really good marker for starter. if your looking for a true tournament and woodsball marker this isn't it.

things to note:

the harness that comes with it is god awful, I'm a waist 32 and the harness would fit a waist 40 or even bigger. a good harness shouldn't cost you more than $40. (i paid mine for $70 from a paintball shop-i'm still kinda miffed about it)

i upgraded the barrel to 16", its well worth the upgrade. first shot i took did break, but after that it was fine. a few balls did stray but maybe because i didn't clean the barrel after the first break. this gun is definitely more accurate than a rental.

as for as getting an electric feeder, you don't need to get one, unless you have a spare. contrary to the other review you can't "master the double trigger" because this gun does not have 2 contact points.

this gun does not have true sights, but it really doesn't matter. you can't look down the barrel because your mask is in the way.

don't use this in the winter, the tank is C02 and it will most likely freeze.

Overall its well worth the price: the gun is normally 100, masks are 40, harness are 40, tank, hoppers, and accessories are ~10.

This marker is pretty accurate for a paintball marker and is great for woods ball. I would say that a longer barrel and maybe an electric hopper if you have mastered the double trigger. When I fired this marker from a distance of 100 feet all the balls went within 5 inches of eachother or less when I aimed at the same spot… and without any wind it is more accurate but wind will be a factor for you… Overall I enjoy this marker and if you are skilled enough you can do speed ball with it…

the MR1 is okay good 4 starters. the barrel i suggust up gradeing to a 16, 18, or 20 barrl. it came early. only really bad thing is tht the bolt will scrach easaly. so i would buy it again but i would definatly purchuse a cyclone barrel 16 inch maybe 18 inch
