I purchased this marker almost a week ago and I must say it's amazing for the price. Despite what people say, this is NOT a low-end or entry-level marker, but it's simple enough to use that even a beginner can easily get into it and start winning matches. The stock barrel is probably one of the most accurate barrels you'll find on a marker, custom barrels included, and the six-position folding stock is great as it lets you get your aim down for long-distance shots as well as fold it up for CQC encounters or higher mobility. I haven't had any cut balls with this marker yet and I'd recommend it to anyone. The only thing - literally the ONLY thing - that separates this from a Tippman 98 Custom is the HK416 frame for customization and visual appeal. Only downside to this marker, it's a bit heavy due to the HK frame. If you want this gun but you want it lighter, get the 97 Custom, it's the same marker without a frame.
