 A+ Paintball Package March 9, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Well to introduce my self my name is Abhishek. I was searching to find a paintball gun(im a intermediate) and I happen to find this gameface/vexor set. I was first thinking that the guns were cheap and useless, but after reading reviews (not only on amazon.com) I found this set to be a good starter set for whom ever just started to get into the fun sport of paintballing. I was uncertain of getting the set when i read that the kit didnt include a c02 tank so i had to think if the company wouldnt decieve me. By doing my reasearch i found that this set is actually very reasonable for the money including everything you need (except for c02) to get on the field. If i were to judge, this would probably be the best deal on paintball gun packages I have ever seen online or in the market. I hope this review helped you decide if the gameface/vexor set is right for you.
 Not "Ready-To-Play" February 25, 2006
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
I bought this kit for my son for Christmas. It was advertised at the time as "Ready To Play". Well, it wasn't.
The CO2 cartridge was missing. Instead, there was a postcard from the manufacturer stating you had to send the card to them and then they would ship the cartridge.
There was a cutout in the foam for a cartridge, so it looks like they've shipped them previously with the cartridge. Perhaps they ran out.
Needless to say, my son was sorely dissapointed he couldn't play immediately.
The kit is fine otherwise. The marker and accessories are sufficient for the price paid.
 Vexor Backpack Kit? February 12, 2006
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
I'll start by introducing myself. My name's Brett, and I was scrolling down through to see if there were any popular paintball items on the list and saw this was most wished for, I couldn't believe my eyes. A Vexor? You have to be kidding me.
I'm obviously a paintballer, I've been playing for about 2 to 3 years, enough to know that Vexors are cheap guns. Nobody uses semi-automatic guns, unless it's a Tippmann. You either use a pump gun (incredibly accurate if you choose right, and helps conserve paint) or an electronic gun, like myself.
Here's why nobody uses Vexors: my gun (Smart Parts Ion with lots of upgrades) can hit a pie pan-shaped target without missing from 200 feet while shooting 17 bps (balls per second). I'd doubt the Vexor could hit the pie pan, or shoot over 5 bps.
If you're looking for an affordable yet reliable gun, go for a Smart Parts Ion. It'll run you about $240 if you shop around, you can upgrade it with different barrels and other items later on, and the list goes on and on.
Another extremely vital tip is not to get into paintball unless you're willing to get hurt and will commit to it, because otherwise, it's a waste of money.
Also, the Vexor kit only comes with what looks like a 9 oz. CO2 tank. Sounds fine, but you'd probably only get 300 shots off it, if that. This isn't very handy if you're playing at a friend's house and suddenly you run out of CO2. What would you do then? The answer is run and try to barrel tag your opponent (because you're really not supposed to stop the game unless somebody wins), so good luck with that. Hint: I've never barrel tagged, and don't intend to.
Anybody else notice how many times they used the word 'custom'? Well, all good guns should come with the items listed as custom on the description. Foregrip, barrel porting (little holes in the front of the barrel to make it quieter), all that stuff. The only thing mine doesn't have is a dropforward, which you don't need. Its purpose is to put the CO2 (or compressed air) tank closer to the middle of the gun to center its weight.
If you decide not to get an Ion or Tippmann (please get an Ion, please get an Ion), then for really top-of-the-line guns would cost you $900+ for Dyes or Angels. 32 bps. Then, you have to find the right hopper to feed 32 bps (gravity-fed hoppers only feed 4-6). Halo B or a Q-loader will do it.
Good paintballs that next to never break in your gun cost $40 for 2000 rounds minimum. (I prefer Marballizers, but they're $60 for 2000).
What I'm getting at is: this package is a waste of money, I tried something like it once, please don't buy it. I couldn't rate it a 0 our of 5 or I would've.
ION!
Will Not Purchase From This Company February 1, 2006

I was just getting ready to purchase the Backpack Paintball Kit, but decided to read the customer reviews first. Based on the reviews, this company sounds very deceitful and misleading. As a result, I will not be buying anything from this company.
 MInes ( Co2) not in their either !!! December 29, 2005
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I noticed a previous review after we received our order for Xmas. We were also fairly happy with the product, but it was very disapionting, that the Co2 cartridge was not included with the original package. Why even have the "foam cuttout", which is where the item is packed if your not going to ship the darn thing. We feel somewhat slighted by the product information and will not be ordering any supplies from this site in the future......can anything be done to restore our confidence?
