T-68 M203 Review

      Well it came in yesterday, the most realistic .68 caliber marker out there, the T68 M203! It looks really nice, and pretty dang realistic too. The T68 and T16 markers have what they call the Flexi-Co2 system that lets you hide the Co2 tanks in either the buttstock (like the rap's), remote line, or (my favorite) the M203. Why didnt they think of the M203 idea with the rams. For one it can hold a bigger tank, either a 3.5oz or a 9oz, and another it looks so cool. I have always considered a airsoft M203 for my M4 LE, but I knew it would just add weight and be useless. But they just look so good. But with the T-series they figured out just what to do, plus it actually serves a purpose. It doesnt look totally real like the airsoft ones, but this is a .68 marker and doesnt look totally real like the rap's anyway, but its pretty dang close.

        I really wanted a nice realistic marker for fields that wont allow the ram, or even D-Day. And to me the T-series pull of the looks better than the others I have seen. It has the older XM-177 style carry handle, this was the vietnam and first verison of the M4. It also has a cocking or charging handle, forward assist, an ejection deflector for lefties. The handguard is strong plastic and so is the pistol grip and the buttstock. The front sight has built in 20mm rail and the collapsible stock works too. All parts are metal and plastic in the same spots as the ram's and the real steel.

The T16 has a working 23 round .43 cal mag just like the ram's, except no shell casings. Next year were supposed to see a battery operated 30 round mag for the T68 and a drum magazine too. So then you can take off the hoppers, really making these look realistic for a .68 marker. And all this will require no modification to the marker! The T68 already has a mag that can hold paintballs(just in case) and is detachable via a mag release switch, but its just hollow and cannot feed the paintballs, but it coming out will allow the working mags to go in when they are released, and if your in a sticky situation it can be your last resort ammo :P.

       Another good thing is that in about 3 months a hop-up barrel system is supposed to come out. And what I cant wait to see is the way the unique adjustable hop-up works. Your supposed to be able to adjust the hop-up effect, even to off. As you may know, barrels that do this are supposed to gain distance but lose some accuracy(like the flatline), this barrel is supposed to be adjustable so you can turn it off and on. I think your supposed to be able to do this on the fly in mid game. Thats a sweet feature to have to help target in on the enemy :AR15:.

      The last features of these markers are standard electronic trigger(semi/burst/full auto), built in pressure regulator and four stage expansion chamber, side cocking, 15+BPS, 17 inch porterd barrel, and built-in pressure gauges. So it seems like a pretty formidable marker huh? Well we will se when I put this baby through her paces, I mean when I get to finish my testing..LOL..well I have got to get my co2 tanks filled, I got 3 9oz and 1 3.5oz tank for the M203. You can get 400 shots of a 9oz and 200 of a 3.5oz. I figure I'll use the 9oz tanks in game because I dont plan on shooting more than 400 rounds, but I will carry some extra ammo and the 3.5oz tank in my buttpack, just in case! :P

    Well now, lets have a look at some pics of the T68, I hope its not too many but I wanted you to have some good shots of it besides the normal pics of them.

Well I hope this helps anyone looking at buying one of these, they really look great, now as soon as I air up and buy some .68 paintballs, I'll review its performance.

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

I dont think its the most realistic looking marker out there. The Rap4 markers are still more realistic, but its close. For a 68 cal it might be though. But I cant stand how horrid that gripframe is.

wow that is really cool looking

thats a pb gun?

 

I prefer the .43 RAP markers, even if most fields don't allow them. They're way cooler as far as those types of guns go. Unfortunately, part of the agreement when I started playing was that I didn't get a gun that looks realistic

dude i love how the CO2 bottel is incorperated in the m203! ingenious! i was looking at the pic and im like... "where heck is the tank"

awsome marker dude!

Thats hot for a milsim

WOW, damn thats realistic

how's to rap17 holding up? i figured not many were around because RAM discontinued them quickly after the first shipments. besides how the m203 mounts to the gun, the whole collection is great.
