I had minor issues with this gun, it chopped more than I'd like, but it was a blast to shoot!
The ripper 3 was a huge improvement over previous versions. It was tighter, smaller, and lighter. I wasn't a fan of the stock barrel, but a boomstick or stiffi can help for a small price.
It was better on air than the previous versions, but had some of the same problems they did. I never had a marq, but I heard the problems were fewer in those guns.

What can I say? It's an Intimidator... Just like all intimidators, this one shoots ropes!!!! The Alias Indimidator is one of the best shooting guns ever made and this next generation has the same internals but a sick Ripper Milling.

Bob has really hit the ball out of the park with the Generation 4 platform. The Milling on the Ripper 3 is reminiscent of the Classic Ripper, Ironman and Ripper 2.5 bodies that the Intimidator community has come to adore. It's been shortened and lightened and accomodated with a 2K6 gripframe to make a light, small, precisely milled marvel that's a dream to shoot.
As with all 2K6 platform markers, the Ripper 3's incorporate many upgraded features. They come stock with the adjustable ram cap that's threaded on the outside making for a smooth ram travel on the inside. The LPR is smaller and easier to remove to access the internals. The gauge has been redesigned and Bob is now using a stock Bob Long gauge that is better and more diminutive than the Ashcroft gauges of year's past. The 2K6 frame is smaller than the infamous and utilizes the same proven Humphrey's Solenoids and hose configurations, however the barbs are better positioned into the ram sleeve (due to a redesign) and are easier to get to and remove without risking damage to the sleeve or LPR block. The Ripper 3 uses an Alias style ram block with the offset barb for easy removal and access to the valve.
The Ripper 3's also incorporate a "balanced" valve system to keep an even pressure on the valve. Early Gen4's had problems with the newly designed poppets and rocket caps. The Ripper 3's were the first Gen4's to come stock with the reinforced Rocket Cap (removed using a 3/8" socket) and brass poppet. Unlike past versions you need to be careful about the lube used on the poppet. The new poppet has 3 o-rings, of which the front one is critical to lube. Lubing the middle one can cause it to become slick and roll off causing a leak.
Ripper 3's are more maintenance intensive and require exclusive use of Dow 55 to ensure swelling of o-rings to ensure a tight seal throughout the marker. The redesigned ram has a rear o-ring that must have a solid amount of Dow for the marker to chrono to velocity.
The Ripper 3 has the proven torpedo regulator and also has a wider trigger guard so you can get those fingers moving quickly. The triggers are probably the best stock ones on an intimidator yet, though I'm still preferential towards a good Techna. The board is the Empire 1.5 board (same as a Frenzy 127.5) and has the firing modes including Semi, PSP, NXL modes with adjustable and uncapped ramping modes as well as adjustable dwell, debounce, mbounce, etc. These are probably the best stock boards in paintball today.
The real upside is that many upgrades from previous versions will work on the Ripper 3's including Gen 4 Techna's, Tadao boards, Regulators and Kila Detents.
The new valve system and overall redesign means a marker that rips strings of paint at blinding speeds, much like previous intimidators, but with little to no kick. Even at 70-80 psi out of the LPR there's little kick to the marker. The balanced valve also enables the owner to move the LPR down into the 40's with conistent cycling/shooting of paint.
The downsides of the marker are the more proactive maintenance required to keep it working. It must take Dow 55 and Dow 55 only as a lube since Dow 55 will swell o-rings. These tight seals are critical for efficient operation. The marker, when working well will get you 1600-1800 shots per 68/4500 fill. it's a relatively quiet shooting marker though not nearly as quiet as a spool valve. Certainly the least noisy of ram/poppet designs.
The milling is incredibly precise and sharp and is actually sharp enough in the back where the prongs can cut you if you try and carry it as if you had a snatch grip. (I jokingly call it the vampire for the symmetrical marks it leaves on my hand). Beyond that, this has some of the best milling of any Intimidator.
The best part of this marker is that it's backed by BLAST, the best shop in paintball. If you have issues with it the BLAST techs are there to service the marker and perform warranty work as needed and without hesitation.
This is probably the pinnacle of Intimidators through the 4th Generation. A low pressure marker with high speed operation capable of ripping strings of paint consistently while operating at 40psi. It's a revolution in the execution of paintball marker technology and certainly incorporates innovations and lessons learned from previous markers.

Very nice milling, light, fast, quiet for a poppet
Cons:
balance poppet can be a pain to set up
I just got this gun about two months ago after wanting one for quite some time. Its a nice gun, the milling is beautiful, its very light, and fast. I havent quite set it up how I like it yet, the whole balancing of the regs can be a pain in butt to set up unlike previous Intimidators.
