For the money there is no better gun on the market than the empire axe. The gun preforms on par with the 1500 dollar guns, but it does lack some of the bells and whistles you would expect for a gun in that price range.

For 450 dollars you cannot find a marker. It shoots really smoothly and straight. It is also very quiet. I would say it shoots as smoothly as a geo 2.1.
The air efficiency is also alright.

The only negative aspect of the gun is what it comes with. It comes in a cardboard box instead of a nice hard case instead of a hard case. And a 12 inch one piece barrel. There's also some grease, a handful of o-rings and replacement parts.

In summary, it's an awesome gun for the money but you might miss the new the extra features from a more expensive gun.

Empire Axe I love my axe but I have noticed that the air efficiency is bad, but after some minor tweaking it seems to be better. Now the bolt stick just started happening to me and I haven't found a fix yet.

I have used the Axe for a tournament and then a couple of practices and hands down for the price this gun is top notch. I have used a multitude of high end markers and this gun is really close to out preforming them. The feel is 10x better then the mini imo and the shot is smooth.

Would recommend to anyone either just getting into paintball or busting into the tourney scene.

Great overall gun, and for the price it has tremendous value. The only thing I don't like about it is having to remove the battery door to change firing modes/dwell/etc. You can get a redline grip I realize, but that's the biggest limitation of the stock gun. If you play tournament ball, I recommend starting with an Axe pro.

Shoots really consistent, I just love the feel of this gun; plus it's a nice gun to get into the sport with. One that doesn't break the bank, but can hold it's own on the field. Looking to throw a freak on it and the Boss V2 and then this will be a great primary or back up.

Empire Axe If you want a marker that shoots like a $1200.00 marker for less that half the price this is the one for you. I cant believe how nice it shoots for the price. I am more than impressed.

Empire Axe I absolutely LOVE my Axe. This gun keeps up with all the G6R's on my team no problem. Fast, reliable, and I love the no gas line. Get a Boss bolt and a Freak Kit and you are set!!
