I can always count on making at least one one-in-a-million elimination with it per day. I've gogged people at 100+ feet with a single shot, hit the tip of a barrel at 50' and even gotten a ball to hit & BREAK on Drum's gut (yes, it actually happened!) with my Phantom!

That being said, I also love my KP-2 and will forever regret selling my old P68 (though I did put them money toward a Blazer, which I also regret selling...). But, try playing for any extended period of time with those and my arms start to fall off. The Phantom never feels heavy. Ever. And 45 shots off a 12 gram is nice, too.

I want to be cool too! Do I really need to add a Phantom to the collection?

hey there is more that one cool marker type,
so long as it's mechanical we're good to go! (if the word "Nasty" is in the name, even better!)

sorry I'm very anti-electro.

everything is just to easy once you add batteries.

any buddy notice some similarities between the Invert mini and the phantom? Im seein a trend budding.. where people refuse to shoot markers over half a pound.. lol. I made an offer on a mini with my sniper (prolly worth 450 min) and it was rejected because snipers are oldschool.. and heavy.. >.< It was a 2k5 body.. which is really pretty dang light..

where there ever any brass phantoms made? just curious..

i've not shot one enough to really know (so i've been told) but i didn't really feel anything too special about the phantom in it's normal incarnation. thing was too light for my tastes. i DID get to shoot Chem-X's duckslide phantom and i'm sold! i'll buy a duckslide given a quarter of a chance, but otherwise i'd pass on a phantom. thats just my personal feeling though

inintially I thought it was too light, but after many times of having it be my only working marker, or being too lazy to lug anything else around, I have gotten used to it, and I can hit just about anything without aiming.

Must be nice.

I love my Phantoms too, but I still have to aim.

I still dont have auto aim either.

I liked mine quite alot except for one thing... too damned light. I'm used to a heavier sheridan and the difference rerally threw me off. Nice marker thought, shot very well, just not my style.
