Phenom?

[Chenko0860]

Hi guys,

Just looking for an honest review of the Phenom. Been looking online and its either perfect from the fanboys, or gash from the haters.

Currently own a standard 2011 mark A5 with Apex2. Looking to upgrade soon.

Cheers.

its a decent , sturdy reliable marker for woodsball / scenario , decent on air , easy to maintain and plenty of modifications and bolt ons and kits to change the look and feel of the marker , im neither a fanboy or an hater , i do own one and have never had a problem with it but im moving more towards tourney markers now due to the better air effienciency and lighter weight

Thanks, have you had any issues with breakages? Aside from the usual one or two?

never had any trouble other than when i used poor quality paint we had to buy on site once , but that was down to the paint not the marker as everyone using it was having the same trouble , also dont go to too high of a grade of paint , its quite brittle and i was told the phenom is a little too harsh for it , never really put it to the test though

What kind of paint do you for?

Not a lover I own one and its a nice gun however when I got a tm15
Shooting that is way better. Phenom is their logical choice with tippmann support loads of parts and simple to work on
Apart from getting the dam flexvalve apart

The cyclone is crap I am not a lover atall prefer rip clip by far

Don't use high quality paint it'll break on hopper and gun, hammerheads are nice on it but same applies don't use expensive paint it gets a lot of breaks but the ones that come out do so perfect. Cheap paint seems to work well

I just recently got a phenom and put about 2000 paintballs through it.
shooting it I had no breaks in my hopper at all. Even when firing over 10 rounds a second.
its very air efficient
there are many upgrades for it which is a plus
ive been told the stock barrel is ok but I did upgrade to a deadlywind barrel
its very light compared to some other milsim markers
the pins that hold the gun together though are quite stiff and would recommend coating them in lubricant or buying quick strip pins
