5.0 out of 5 stars Alpha Black- Awesome!!, April 14, 2008
When I first set out to purchase a marker I was looking for something that looked and felt like a military weapon. I love Mil-Sim (Military Simulation). Not that I think anything I do truly emulates what our troops do every day for us, but I like to get as close as possible. My searching was gravitating towards the Tippman A5 since it is so customizable and has the most diverse upgrades. But lets face it, A5's are downright expensive. I work in the helping professions and spending $300 to $500 on a paintball marker (after upgrades) is hard to rationalize to my wife.

After about 2 months of searching for the right marker for the right deal I stumbled across a Tippman vendor on an online auction that was selling something called an Alpha Black (AB). *hmm This caught my eye. It is the officially licensed marker of the Army. *hmm So I knew where to go to find good reviews....www.pbreview.com. Reviews were great. Everybody was loving theirs and only seemed to complain about the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Alpha Black Kicks it hard!, July 29, 2008

I paintballed for the first time the other day and my Alpha Black performed nicely. My first round I didn't have the opportunity to even fire my marker; however, the second round I scored myself two kills from 50+ feet; one in the knee and the other was a head shot in the goggles (on the first trigger pull). I didn't have one ball break and my shot groups were pretty tight. There isn't a need to fire 50 balls at someone hoping one will hit. If you see them, you can hit them (once you're familar with your aim). For someone who has never played before, can't run very fast, and has very little experience aiming a weapon of any sort... this marker made me feel like I had a chance out there. Excellent marker for a beginner. It's heavier than other markers, but it's really not that bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite marker, May 10, 2010
By

I bought this because I saw it had great reviews on [...] and I also thought it looked cool. Out of the box its FPS was set to about 315 and it shot laser straight every time (at targets). When I lowered it the next day to play at a field (about 280 fps) it was still extremely accurate and performed very well. A lot of people have complained about weight but it only gets noticeable after 4 or 5 hours and if you get a remote line you wont notice it at all. The toolbox in the mag is also helpful because I always have an allen wrench now.

I got an after-market E-trigger and it still works perfectly and I have never chopped a single ball. For woodsball it is great, and i took the stock off to try speedball and that was fine as well.

Bottomline is, if you want a great marker for not a lot of dinero, i highly recommend this to anyone, especially beginners.
