User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars the real deal
This is as close to the real thing as you can get. I love it. The E-trigger is the only way to go,(I wish it was easier to switch between firing modes though).The shotgun effect of the three round burst is my favorite but there’s nothing like opening up on some poor slob in full auto.
5 Stars Great Marker for the price Best Buy for any paintballer
This is a great marker for the value. Check out the reviews and the unlimited resources available from users at www alphablackforum com. You won’t regret buying this marker.
5 Stars Great Marker… One of the best “bang for the buck” !
This is one the best scenarios markers around…. You will be pleased with the quality of it (material used, realistic feel).
It’s quite heavy and will give a true felling of the the real gun… Therefore, I would advise to get a Sling in order to attach to the vest, otherwise you will definatelly get tired of carring after a few rounds of scenario game…
The Alpha Black is mainly a Tippmann 98 already customized right our of the box.
All the internals are the same as well… If you need to replace anything, it will be quite easy to find the parts for it.
As an advice, one of the best things you can add to this marker is a cyclone… In order to this.. you have to get the 98 Custom Cyclone.. File down the border (since it’s the only difference from the 98 to the Alpha Black), which does not allow the connector of the cyclone to match the AB right out of the box…
With the cyclone the weapon really comes alive… (And I am not talking about the E-Grip yet)
This is also an additional resource, since you can then use the Tactical Loader, which comes in capacity of 50 or 20 rounds and will fit the cyclone adaptor.
There are plenty of websites that teaches you how to do this.. Just look over at Google and you will find… You don’t even need to replace the internals since they are Cyclone ready..
For the money, this is definatelly the one of the best markers for paintball scenario/woodsball around here…
The effectives of the shot is also pretty good. It has a good range for the 11″ barrel as well…
and another hint… Take a Remote line to get the tank out of the marker, this will make the feel of the marker even more realistic… The weight of the gun itself is enough for this and will give you a better balance.
As one little flaw..
I would advise to take real good care of the E-Grip, since when we play scenario around here, on real wet places, sometimes you can get the gun really wet, and due to poor seal of the section where the circuit goes, you can get it fried in no time… Just an extra care you need to be aware.
I am very satisfied with the quality, versatility and price for this marker… You will fall in love with it..
As I said, one of the best bank for the buck around, with great quality.
