This is a Big step for me i use to play with a Spyder Fenix 2012 marker. Which was an starter gun i would say. Going from the Spyder to a DP FX was a big step i would highly recommend this gun if your looking for a good gun that can shot up to 1-4 star paintballs. Also the air efficent is very good to deppend on your tank. I use a 48/3000 on a single fill i can shot at least 600-800 Paintballs depend on my dwell.
