Great value for a pump marker considering the price and what it comes with. Everything provided touches on what a pump player could want from stock class to open class along with the auto trigger. The hitman mod is a nice addition that can be removed if you want. The barrel kit is the best touch for the marker for the price point hands down. The performance is where it needs to be for sure though, was spot on for my field velocity out of the box and didn't require any adjusting and shot amazing.
I would have liked to see a metal pump arm sled though and perhaps a slightly different trigger pull as far as adjustment. Overall though those small personal opinions don't matter to the overall marker performance. Shoots straight and consistent, can't argue with that for the price.

Been using this for a while now, and all I can say is WOW.
Out of the box, this thing performs SPECTACULARLY.
For the price, you can't get anything brand new for a better price. Right out of the box, the marker is smooth and easy to pump/shoot. Also, it comes with a barrel kit which I'd estimate to be worth $100-$150. This 3 piece barrel kit is GREAT. It has great air efficiency, and also comes with a 10-round tube to shoot paint. (The same tube seen on the BT SA-17.) Also comes with a feedneck if you want to attach a hopper! I would HIGHLY recommend this!

If you're just getting into pump then this is probably the best pump gun out there for the price. It even comes with a barrel kit that you can use for your other guns. The barrel kit separate is like going for 150 on other websites. You could even play both stock and open class since it comes with a 10 round hopper and the auto trigger and the hitman mod are fun to play with even though I rarely use them. The only bad things are that the pump stroke is weird and takes a little to get used to and when I first got it and aired it up, the gauge on the regulator kept slowly rising over 300psi when I set it to like 225psi and then when I shot it it would go back down and when I didn't it would rise again. But after a few games of play and at the end of the day I never had the problem again so I'm pretty sure its just a break in thing.

This is was my first pump marker that I owned. I gotta admit, I'm a fan.
APPEARANCE: 4/5
The marker comes with very limited color options, and I'm not the biggest fan of gunmetal grey. Quite standard in terms of looks, not ugly to me, but not drop dead gorgeous either.
PERFORMANCE:4/5
It is quite a straight shooting marker I find, giving a very flat trajectory(or atleast that's how it felt to me). I found that it was quite easy to tune due to the gauge right on the HPR. Set mine at 250 and adjusted the back accordingly, and was shooting 290 +- 5. However, it is quite "farty", especially when using the autotrigger. I was NOT a fan of that sound signature, which is one of the reasons why I ultimately sold mine. Air efficiency wasn't much of a factor for me, it's a pump and I'd use a 13/3000 tank on it. Never ran out of air during a game.
RELIABILITY: 4/5
Same as any other marker, you take care of it and it will take care of you. However, I find that it is quite tedious in terms of maintenance, and not being very familiar with snipers when i got it, I found it was quite a steep learning curve.
VALUE:5/5
This is the original reason why I bought the empire sniper in the first place. The most bang for your buck on any pump paintball gun out there, the 4 piece barrel kit was amazing, as was the modified stock class feed. I really liked the stock class feed, although changing it out from the clamping feedneck seemed to cause some scratches on the feedneck itself. I'd consider that a design flaw, or something that should be addressed. Overall though, you can't beat that price with all those goodies.
OVERALL: 4/5
I really liked this marker, and although I do regret selling it a bit, I'm sure that when that CCM J12 comes out my sorrows will be allllll gone. I definitely do reccomend buying this marker though, best value in pump.
