This gun has never let me down. I have used it, my friends have used it. They all loved it! I love the way it feels and its simplicity. Empire has put out an amazing gun. Even the stock entry level gun is good! The look is okay, they could of done a little better on that.

Pros: Quiet, shoots ropes, reliable, bolt
Cons: Asa needs to be tightened sometimes
This is one of the best guns out there. It shoots like a dream. Some people do not like the stock barrel, but I think it is fine unless you have money to burn. The quick bolt release also saves a good amount of time lubing the gun. It is also very efficient. The gun feels amazing and comfortable too. The only con I can think of is the Asa gets loose after a couple games and it needs to be tightened but it's an easy fix! If you are choosing between the Etek, the Mini, and the Axe, defiantly choose the Axe you will not be disappointed. Im proud to be an owner of the Axe

I love my Axe, this is my 2nd marker. Had it for about 6months now. I tried to upgrade the bolt (Boss V2) but my Axe did not like it too much. I tried everything Boss suggested, and had no luck.
It is a really solid marker for the price, once its run in, pop on a decent barrel kit and you are good to go. The maintenance is easy, and it should last for a long while, if you clean and look after it!
only reason I will change is for a lighter marker, and something more high end, thats it.

Had my axe for a little under 6 months now and I have to say that the gun is well worth the money. The gun seemed like a great deal for the price being that it was a third of the price of other guns that did mostly the same thing. And then my solenoid went down. I called customer support but the tech was out so I left a message. The tech not only got back to me, he helped me figure it out over the phone. He said if that didn't work or if it went down again to call back they would send me a new solenoid free of charge and if that didn't do it they would fix it if I shipped it to them. Luckily it worked and it is shooting like a champ again.

My only real complaint about the Axe is how ungodly inefficient it is. This thing will make you thankful for field air passes.

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 Great all around marker that is durable and easy to maintain. Shoots smooth stock and with a $50 budget you can transform this marker into an even better shooter. iPS

This is arguably the best value in paintball. It is smooth, quiet, moderately efficient, there are plentiful upgrades and the price is reasonable. Kee also has THE BEST service in paintball. Hands down.

The ergonomics seem to be a bit polarizing, but if you grip up high and barrel wrap then it gives a very stable feel.

All said, it's a hard gun to beat at any price.
