I bought a rainmaker a couple of months ago for $100 just as a project gun. I don't have either the time or the energy to make the thing worth carrying on the field. Heavy, slow, loud, ugly, complicated, piss poor ergonomic, etc.... Why they didn't stop making this marker years ago is beyond me.
Having said that, I can't complain about my Evo II hopper. The thing runs well, feeds fast and hasn't let me down yet. See, A$$ Eagle can make a decent product.
On the other hand, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
