Picked this up a while back then acquired a 22 cu. in. tank to run it off of.



DeTrevni; you were right.  It's very nice and I do prefer it to the Phantom.

Edited additional Info:
  • ANS quick release bolt
  • Grip Styx grip frame
  • SP mini drop and on/off valve
  • Evil Detonator reg
  • Angel 3-piece barrel kit (16")
  • Generic fiber optic OEG sight
As long as I'm posting, I'll include a pic of the latest modifications to the Ghetto Hammer as well.  I ordered another pump arm so I could cut it down and install an End Game barrel.  I also made the camo tank cover for my 6 oz. tank.

Any Sniper is a nice Sniper in my book. I really doubt I'll ever own another gun that isn't one.

It's not a 'cocker. It might be a cocker, but it's not a 'cocker. ;)

Anyway, what are your thoughts on the End Game barrel? What's it supposed to do? I've never actually known...

Purist.

It's supposed to look cool and be quieter.

I guess it looks cool.  I just put this one on because I liked the camo on it.  (Even though this means that I no longer have one on my tactical Black Maxx.)

I haven't got to shoot this one a lot yet, but the one I had on my 98 for a while did not seem any quieter to me.  However, people I played with said it was much quieter from the target's perspective.  My guess is that it redirects sound as opposed to stifling it.  (This could be an advantage when using a pump.)

They seem reasonably accurate but tend to be hard on paint in less than optimum weather.  (I attribute this to the rough surface inside the barrel.  It looks like scratches but judging by the pattern I think it is supposed to be a type of spiral rifling.)

ummm.... ? what the....

i use either my Rail, or one of my 2 Ebladed cockers and can make a case (~$30 for RPS Premium) last 10-15 games.

it only takes one ball to get someone out Ammolord...

as for the gun... i like the way that barrel looks on there, not the prettiest sniper ive seen but still nice. need to put that mod on there that makes you able to use your finger.

Ive always wanted to do that and Eblade w/ MQ to have the smoothest sniper ever.

I won't give you a hard time about this, but you should feel a well-tuned Sniper! A CCM pump kit, a polished slider frame with a roller sear and a nice soft spring combo. Butter!
