Love my new Axe! This gun shoots very well. Ultra smooth with the boss v2 bolt. Using a CP barrel right now for decent accuracy, I need to underbore the back and see how good this thing can really shoot. I love the balance of this marker, the nano feedneck makes for an awesome small profile too. Seriously, if they can use it in PSP, and you can buy it for $300 used.....killer value!

Empire Axe I loved how quite the shot was. Quietest marker I've ever shot. The kick was also very little for a poppet/spool mix. Recommend it to any kind of player.

First marker I've had in years. First non-spyder i've played with, and it performed well to my expectations. Something I am ecstatic about it the maintenance. All I have to do is push a button and twist and the bolt comes right out for lubing. Oh yeah, i'd recommend it.

I had this gun for 4 to 5 months and I loved it. The only reason I still don't have it is because my team shoots planet eclipse. If it wasn't for that fact I would still be shooting my axe. Plus there's alot of upgrades available for this marker that really make it even better of a marker then it already is. Talk about bang for your buck.

Empire Axe So far one of the best guns there for its price. This gun has worked for me without any problems. It even shot in the mud and rain at psp nj last year. Highly recommend picking up of one of these.

Pros: Shoots like a "high-end" for a fraction the cost.
Cons: Relatively difficult maintenance. Less Features.
The Axe is simply a fantastic gun. We have an Axe up for demo at the field I work at and I love shooting it. It shoots super smooth and can easily compete with any high-end marker. Therefore, the Axe is easily the best gun for it's money.

My only complaints about the gun would be maintenance/design and the fact that the gun doesn't have as nice of a selection of features as a high-end gun would have. The marker's design is slightly impractical. For example, it is very tedious just to access and clean the eyes. However, the bolt design is super simple and makes for easy access and maintenance. Improving from the Mini, It is also nice that the bolt can come out without tools thanks to the push-pin design on the back.

This gun is simply great and worth every penny! Any team should definitely look into shooting them for the 2012 season!!!

Cons: feedneck, board programming, trigger
I bought my Axe new last year. The new length over the mini allows for a much more comfortable feel on the marker. It is a very reliable marker, just needing only basic maintenance on it. Easy to take apart (bolt removal is tool-less). Marker is fairly lightweight. Its fast, efficient and easy to run/maneuver with.

Downsides, to me, are the trigger. Do not like the magnet set up on it (too strong) and some side play. Board programming is also a doozy, and takes some times to get used to.

I've giving 5 stars across the board, because the pros heavily outweigh the cons, and for the cost of the marker, it is a deal.

I really love my axe. It has not failed me yet! It is air efficient, smooth, and quiet.

Although I love my axe, I do have one complaint. The ASA and the front grip have both gotten loose. The ASA loosening up is not a big problem; I do however, have to tighten it up every other weekend I play. I figure using some blue-loctite would fix the asa loosening issue. The front grip loosening issue has only happened once about 6 months after getting my axe; but, when it did loosen up I noticed right before breaking out so I didn't have a chance to tighten it. I sprinted to my bunker and slid in, when I reached for the front grip, there was nothing there. I think these are minor issues which should not deter you from purchasing an axe, but since they have affected me, they might affect others.

Overall, the axe is amazing for its price and I would definitely purchase another, but just make sure to tighten your screws up every now and again.
