this is a great little marker shoots well and the price point is great for people just starting out or who have played for years. brand new they are 460 but if you look around you can find new ones still in the shrink wrap for about 360-400

i feel that this marker does not get the respect that it deserves from the players spending thousand on a new maker every year

this maker is good enough for the pros then its good enough for everyone

The price of the Axe is only enhanced by its performance. Out of the box, I went straight to a chrono and began firing...the gun was set mid 280s, so I put it on psp ramp and commenced to jigglin ya'll. The gun had very little kick with the stock bolt, and pretty much none at all with the lurker bolt. At practice I am getting a hot 36-4000 fill, shooting 5-6 pods + a rotor, and coming off the field with over 1500 psi left in a 68/45. The ergonomics of the grip frame are great for me, especially for shooting while reloading. I love the no-frill, all business look and purpose of the Axe, if I made any changes cosmetically, I would smooth out the foregrip. It doesn't feel bad when you hold it, it just looks wierd.

Just got the Axe last week in a trade for it and some rent money and am not disappointed in my downgrade. Gun was very accurate and quite smooth to shoot. Again the only cons I can find are the efficiency and kick. But I am using this gun after I had a G6R but anything compared to that is less efficient and has more kick haha. The kick definitely is not unbearable and really is not noticeable when playing.

i love this marker. i got it about two weeks ago and out of the box it shot smooth as butter. then i adjusted the dwell to 10ms and it blew my mind how well it worked. i wasnt really a fan of minis but when i shot my friends axe i fell in love. i havent used it in a tournament yet but i have put about 3 cases of paint through it no chops no breaks the only thing that happened was one of the detent screws came a little loose from sliding around. i always play on semi but when i wanted to mess around with the nxl full auto and use psp 3 shot you have to open up the side of the front grip and press a little button on the board to change modes.virtue does make an oled board upgrade but its 184.95 which is a little ridiculous if you ask me. but overall its a great marker and i highly recomend it.

Cons: feedneck, barrel, color options
Price paid is irrelevant, gun was obtained in a trade

Great gun
comfortable, ergonomics of the gun is great
accurate
consistent +/-3
fast (on semi I was easily getting 15bps)
efficient
quiet (for a poppet)
easy maintenence (bolt removal system is sweet) although I haven't had to do it during a game because
it doesn't chop... yet
the board is alright, it has all the features you need currently
ASA is quick and easy
Price point is great, easily considered a high end marker for a mid-end price.


feedneck could be better, (recommended upgrade would be the empire nano feednack)
barrel is sub-par (a 2-piece barrel would be nice)
ASA can be considered a con in that you are stuck with there the tank is going to be, currently there is no option for a rail.
Alot of the parts are apparently interchangeable with the mini (not all) which makes parts easily obtainable for a pretty cheap price.
Some people may consider the looks to be kind of plain
color options are kinda meh... but it's still relatively new.
