Does a Phantom have any kick?

NO.

Absolutely none. I just got mine yesterday, and that's the first thing I noticed when I was shooting it.

As all the others have written, nope, none.

Just because I feel the need to provide a dissenting opinion, if you notice any "kick" with a Phantom, you're probably shooting waaaay over the field limit. I once chrono'd mine at about 375 fps and there was a bit of movement which could, potentially, be considered "kick". Adjusting it down to a "safe" and "legal" velocity of 290 fps got rid of the unwanted movement.

Paintball guns rairly have "kick".

The exception is a fe older guns that have noticeable movement of a massive hammer, or the Mod 85 which was more firearm than paintball gun (in theory).

Anyone tells you their gun has less kick than others has never fired a real gun before, and doesnt know what the "kick" of one is.

(Shoot an HK91 for 1/2 an hour.. you wont complain about a paintball gun... ever)

Kick... something more for airsofters to be concerned about as they want they're toy gun to be more realistic.

For us it will be negligable... as Azzy stated if you gun has a lot or moving mass then you will feel it... like the VM-68.

For most pumps there is nothing.. you'll probably get more movement from jerking (not squeezing) the trigger when you shoot the gun.

Anyways... phantom.. minimal to no kick.

Now we need to post that vid of Don and the full auto Soviet Bloc monster with the drum mag
