OK...I know this will be locked soon. but was on line looking at Smart Parts web sight they said they have the new SGL 8 or somthing cant remember the name of it. But one of the upgrades that was mentioned was a suppresser kit W/barrel Had perferated barrel W/baffles...

NOW how did they get around the ATF test or did they? any one know anything about this upgrade?

AND is that gun worth $350

1 paintball gun package=$150
1 case of paint=$50
air & entry fee=$15

Yeah, the Ion with 400 percent more plastic. Yeah.

Marketing is what you are asking about. It's like when you see gun companies talking about how their gun gets more range than any other gun.

BUT is it truly suppressed or just marketed like you said?

It's not suppressed. It's just a barrel. Marketing, plain and simple. 

Don't worry about the big bad hybrid... he doesn't lie.

They aren't loud guns, so don't count it out because you think it isn't quiet.

It's good if you're going mil-sim, but short on upgrades. If you want to stick to scenario play, just get an Ion and the Deadly Wind tactical body. Total, it's cheaper and more upgradable.
