The rainmaker was before Brass Eagle became crappy. It's probably the best gun they made and it's a decent electro.

Several members have them. I believe DsXz has one. Contact him to get more info. I'd probably go for the trade...be different.

Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good.

I don't really like any of Brass Eagle's products, their very, very poor in quality.

Then you've never seen a Rainmaker....n00b.

Rainmaker:

Electro-pneumatic-not a cocker

Cocker threaded barrels.

operates somewhat like a cocker

extremely kick-ass.

plenty of options for upgrades.... though not a whole lot.

the RM in the pic, has a decent reg and grips and ect.. Plus, it's custom milled. Also, it still has the stock barrel, which is good, because they came with kickass barrels. You would rip that guy off hardcore if all he wants is your A-5.....

Also, the first Electro-Pneumatic was the Pneu-Ventures "Shocker". The shocker was later made by Smart Parts.

Ok, let's say it how it is now. BRASS EAGLE as of NOW, 2006, is a VERY BAD paintball company, they make horrible guns and HORRIBLE paint. Any new-comers know this... old paint-ball players have played with the old-school brass-eagle guns that were built decently... not anymore so people can stop saying Brass Eagle is good, because it isn't anymore.. remember, we are in the year 2006, not 2002! Rainmakers are basically dead and becoming near-impossible to repair because it's so hard to find. END.

its a piece of paintball history and its ignorant to bash a perfectly good product just because the company sold out later down the road. merc just shared with me something interesting: BE baught out autococker. so do the old autocockers (pre2004) suck? no of course not. now quiet.

Brass Eagles Quality has always been hit or miss. I remember some of their guns for about 1991. Try looking up the silver eagle and you will see what I mean. As far as a Rainmaker goes, I'de skip it and look at something else.

most rainmaker parts can be jerry rigged from other guns including cockers and angles or just use industrial pneumatics...

after the fact that the rain maker uses pneumatics to recock it its not realy like an autococker. its more like a sterling. (hybrid between nelson and sheridan valve systems)

its a great gun that can be picked up for 80-120$ most of the time.
