SO WHAT DO WE RATE IT?
LOOKS
Lee says, #formyself it's rated a 7/10. Lee does love shorter blasters though! This jailbreak style hand guard is awesome.
FIREPOWER
Three-cell lipo, metal gearbox, shooting at 17-18 RPS and 300+ FPS, we rate this one a 10/10. This is definitely up there for a gel blaster. To see how these blasters go through the chrono and on a field test watch Lee's video from 7:19.
MODABILITY
With the V2 setup, we rate this a straight 10/10. You can change the handguard, buffer tube set up, gearbox set up, the sky is the limit with this one!
DURABILITY
For the nylon with metal gears, it is extremely durable. In testing we heavily used it and it was beautiful! We were so impressed - 10/10 for this blaster. For the nylon gear blaster, we rate it a 8/10. If you use these blasters as they're intended you will have no issues. Make sure you take care of your blaster and don't act reckless with it.
FOR WHERE & WHO?
For the metal gearset blaster, this one is for your intermediate to your advanced gel ball user. You're going to need a bit more knowledge about what you're doing with blasters to utilize this one greatly. This blaster is great for outdoor fields over CQB fields as it's rather large.
For the nylon gearset blaster, that one runs at a lower price point. It would be a great beginner blaster for those looking to get into the sport.
PLEASE REMEMBER: STOP & THINK
Always be smart when carrying a gel blaster in public. Don’t forget to KEEP THEM BAGGED when travelling from events or anywhere outside of your home. Always use eye protection and be safe! We want blasters to be around long-term so make sure you’re doing the right thing.
