I shot this gun for a while as my main gun. I never had any trouble with it as I maintained the marker very stringently. Many of my teammates shoot these markers as well, and them being not so stringent in cleaning, also have just as reliable output from the marker. All around a good marker for the price, just a bit heavy, but something has to give or else it would be easily $800+

Empire Axe This gun is nothing short of amazing. It can out shoot guns 3 times its price and cleans up quick.

Pros:
Shoots smooth and quiet - Shoots like a more expensive marker
Easy maintenance - Bolt removal is easy, no LPR, HPR factory sealed
Single tube - Looks like a spooly

Cons:
Heavy - Annoyingly heavy when playing all day
Feedneck - Terrible stock feedneck, use a Nano or similar
Barrel - Terrible almost unusable stock barrel, replace for sure

Really a solid gun, shoots well. Does require some money invested for upgrades to get on the level it should be out of the box.

Bought an empire axe at the beginning of this season and wow was i impressed, sold off my ego 11 and dm12 because this is more then enough gun and will perform with the highest end markers out there.

The axe is super durable, i can go crawling through gravel, sand, mud you name it the axe will take it no problem. Ergonomics are good, more then enough room for big hands, MUCH LARGER THEN A MINI!!!! Grips are comfortable, detents are good and long lasting. Stock the axe is one of the quietest markers i have shoot, and is smooth and very air efficient ( about 9 pods off a 68/4500) Upgrading to a boss bolt only makes the gun more efficient and smoother!

Everyone seems to complain about the feedneck, but i never really had a problem with it, tighten it up right and don't be a tech tard and the feedneck will work just fine.

My only real gripe with the gun is the asa, the lever always seems to be flapping around in my gearbag. Air it up to fast and it will blow a ball out. Also when you degass it, it doesn't always purge, seems like a 50/50 chance it will degass. Degassed it one day and was packing up and accidently pulled the trigger and it shot off a ball, luckily i still had my barrel sock on. The gauge on the asa could also be a little more accurate.

Overall would i recommend the axe to a friend YES, great gun 8.5/10

best bang for your buck in paintball

Was on one of the sponsored like a pro teams, and I must say for a gun with a price like this, it is definitely worth the money. I would say to not upgrade anything on this gun besides the barrel, it is fine stock. My team slapped our cocker threaded barrels on these guys and used them completely stock and took 2nd place in NPPL HB. The guns were shooting 8-9 pods on a 68/45 and it was only when we got bolt kits from another sponsor that we started to see issues. We put our stock ones back in and the guns were great.

The only issue I have with this gun is just based on preference, I like a smaller reg bc its more comfortable so the grip in the front on this and the mini wasnt my favorite. and also the gun is a bit heavy.. other then that it is worth the price and shoots great

The Empire Axe is a great overall gun. You will not find another gun, for the price, that can match it.

PROS:
-Sleek
-Slim
-Quiet
-Fast
-Smooth
-Light
-Accurate
-Efficient
-Price is great
-Easy to program modes
-Easy bolt removal
-Quiet
-Most important, its reliable

CONS
-Looks maybe (If you dont like the look of it at first, you will after a while; it grows on you)
-Other than that nothing

The bolt is completely enclosed in the gun so you will not get any debris in it. The eyes are great; you will never chop a ball.
It feels great in your hands
I would recommend this gun to anyone and everyone

The larger Invert Mini.

This is the most reliable marker I have owned and shoots great. I use it with a Rotor and Deadly Wind barrel kit and can shoot ropes cross-field, but prefer short bursts. The Axe is a great low-cost electro gun that will satisfy any and all rec-ballers and tourney players.

the Axe is a great marker. it keeps up with all the other highend guns on the market and then some. easy to clean and take a part. for the price it should come with a better case then just a box with foam padding. its to bulky in a gear bag. iv been using it since the gun came out and its been my main gun to use.

Empire Axe for the price i guess its in the same range as a macdev drone. for me i prefer a poppet over a spool because of how finicky some spoolys are. throw a barrel kit and a boss bolt and your set.
