Bought this gun because my ego went down once again and frankly I was tired of repairing it. Grabbed this gun holding a grudge thinking "they just fixed a mini" and I couldnt have been more wrong. I've never shot stock barrel on it so it never was an issue (I use a sly pro merc) but this gun kills it. Once its broken in it shoots perfect, very consistent on the chrono, and efficient on air. This gun shoots long sexy ropes with very little drop and is pretty quiet even with my pro merc on, I recommend this gun to EVERYONE its one of the best budget ballers in history (strictly my opinion)
I'm over 10 cases in and still havent had to re-adjust velocity, and havent had any problems at all (knock on wood)

This is easily the best marker for the money. I think this is also one of the best markers on the market. I will show you how great everything is on the gun.
Bolt- So smooth and on top of that, very easy to take out (Tooless) and maintain.
Trigger- Very easy to adjust and has no side to side movement. Very easy to rip with on Semi.
Feel- This gun feels great in the hands, its long and the grips are soooo comfy.
Reg/ASA- This is great, easy to use and has a gauge.
Overall this is just great, its smooth and quiet and on top of that EFFICIENT! The Empire Axe has NEVER let me down!

I have used this gun for one complete season now, and I am still amazed on how well this gun shoots. I have used it in 100 degree heat, to 15 degree cold, to rain storms at PSP NJ Open. It has not once failed me. Once the Redline Front grip came out, I bought one right away and was glad I did. The programming was so easy to use and easy to change, made my life alot better and easier. I also got my Axe custom anno'd and would recommend them to do it as well. Buy this gun, it will amaze you.

First thoughts:
I got this as my first electric gun because I needed one. Anyway, I must say, this gun is great for it's price. Honestly, it's worth $700 or something because it's odd how it's smooth, efficient, quiet, light, etc. It doesn't come with everything like the Ego does. It comes with:
-Gun
-Barrel Sock
-.691 12 in. Barrel
-Repair kit
Appearance/Ergonomics:
Despite it's look, it still feels really good. When you're playing a game, I don't even notice how it handles because it feels pretty comfortable. When you first handle it, you're going to think "Oh man, this is really uncomfortable!" but in reality it's comfortable. If it matters, put on some hockey tape.
Efficiency:
For a $500 gun, the efficiency is great. I am going off a 68/45 Ninja tank I have. When I fill my tank, it goes up to 4000/3500 because my field does that for some reason. Anyway, after a game, the gauge looks like it hasn't even moved because I still have a lot of air! I can assure you the efficiency is 7-8 pods.
Performance:
SMOOTH! Super smooth. It's not even broken in yet and it feels like butter. There is pretty much no kick at all. Aside from the smoothness, there is also quietness. The Axe is really quiet. I have to say that it's a little less, if not quieter than the Geo2.1. You're ears won't be ringing when you keep shooting.
Reliability:
One of the greatest thing about this gun is that you don't have to worry about the gun breaking on you. As long as you re-lube your gun every 10-15 cases, you won't have a problem with this gun. If you can maintain a gun properly, get this. You won't have a problem.
Value:
As I stated before, I needed a good electro for cheap and I got the Axe. The Value is great, really. The Axe's price is so cheap, but the gun is good quality. It's like buying a 42 in. Samsung TV for $300.
Pros:
-Smooth
-Light
-Efficient
-Easy Programming (Once you get used to it, you'll memorize it in no time)
-Quiet
-Grips are great
-Comes with a repair kit
-Decent looking box it comes in
-GREAT PRICE!
-Easy Bolt removal
-Easy way to replace battery
-Uncomfortable when carrying around, but when playing it's good
Cons:
-Okay Feedneck
-Bad Barrel
-Inconsistent
Final Thoughts:
Well, I have to say, this is a great marker. Seriously, if you're thinking of buying this, an ETEK or the Reflex, look no further. Get this. I am NOT kidding you. I was in your same position. I went with the Axe because I did what you're doing. RESEARCHING! So +1 to you for that. Get the marker, love it, have sex with it, I don't care. You'll love this marker.

I was fortunate to have won this marker in a contest, and I couldn't be happier. It shoots great with no performance issues, looks great, and feels great when I hold it, and cleaning is simple. No chops what so ever. As mentioned above a 2 piece barrel would have been a plus, but really not necessary. All in all you can't really go wrong with this marker.

So, I just finished my sixth 5 hour session with the Axe. About 6 cases through it so far. I think it is absolutely phenomenal in every aspect. It's chronoing at about 283, 287, 289, 285, 288, 285, 289. Very consistent now that it has had some cases put through it +-5-6ish. It was probably +-10 out of the box. The field limit is 290 fps, so it was perfect. And this thing just shoots ropes, man. Ball on ball forever with marbs.
I was just waiting on this thing to break paint/chop, and it simply never happened. I have not had to swab once since getting this marker. Even with very fast walking. Speaking of walking, this thing has an amazing stock trigger. It is 4 point adjustable, and the magnet makes it very smooth and predictable. The feedneck could be better, but so far I have had no problems with it using the Dye Rotor. Just make sure it's not too tight, and that it will twist instead of snapping off if you hit it on something
It was at about 220psi operating pressure out of the box, so that was a little high, but I lowered it to about 180psi, and adjusted the velocity to compensate. So it should be good now. Also, it was very smooth and quiet, and I can only imagine the sound signature after a boss bolt v2 at a lower pressure. Some people complain about the stock barrel, and I don't see why. It's just perfect in my opinion. And after I got home, maintenance was very simple.
Just push the button on the bolt, zig zag it out, clean and lube the bolt, make sure your breach and barrel are clean, tighten the detents if they're loose, and I'm pretty sure that's it for basic maintenance as long as the eyes are not dirty. All in all I am very satisfied with this marker. Empire created a high end marker at a mid end price, and I could not recommend it more.
tldr; Fantastic, highly consistent, smooth, rope shooter. Couldn't be happier, and couldn't recommend it more.
My board fried twice because of water but empire got it all under control.
