so you techpbers may have convinced me to want an invasion over an FX, but i still have one question that may sway my decision. What comes with the invasion when you buy it. i mean, if i bought one, today, and it cam in on monday for example, when i open the gat wrap, what will i see? thanks guys

Orings and some allens. Is it really that hard to go on Bing and look up unboxing videos?

[PrimeTimePred]

The " best-bang-for-your-buck" marker that paintball has to offer right now with a 2 piece barrel (back is .691)... And thats it my friend. But thats absolutely all u need. Standard Allen keys work on it and u must have those laying around if your in paintball...

Edit: maybe it actually does come with Allens... But im curious as to what it could be lacking in a package that "could sway your decision".?

You have problems. If its a great marker, and it shoots straight. Thats freaking amazing. Kicky is a plus

i want something thatll put up a fight. like playing pump vs electros, or doing a 3 on one with a gravity feed and an electro on nxl full auto. but im still looking into the invasion. dont think im not going to consider it still

No paintball gun will "put up a fight".

Get a gym membership if you want to test your strength.

Pump vs electros is a lot different than prefering a gun that kicks. The kickyness will have little to no disadvantage, other than knowing your gun is a sucky, unsmooth shooting marker. Its more of an annoyance. Its more like using a kaos pump vs ccm s6's. You're at no disadvantage, just that you're gun is just straight up not as nice to shoot.

but i hate smooth guns though its so boring to play with smooth guns! loud, kicky cannons are so much fun!

2 piece 14 inch barrel. Orings, spare detents, can't comment on allen keys but I rather just use my complete set I actually have anyways. You don't need lube or anything really. The only time you use lube is just once a year on regulator orings to keep them from drying.

The alien simply comes with just the essentials. Jack (the owner) is a no BS type of guy.


If you really want the invasion to kick, which is weird, go ahead and turn up the lpr...

Smooth guns aren't boring. They are more fun to shoot than kicky guns. Plus I don't find enjoyment out of just shooting my gun, I like playing with a gun thats smooth and easy to use. Kickyness would piss me off. Whats not boring is speedball. Where I dont even pay attention to my gun. I just want to play

Nope just an led, but I believe now if you buy one its a virtue. It used to be a hater. Both extremely good boards.

And yes, if you really want it kicky which idk why you would. Just depends on how you tune it. However, do not mess with it until you shoot it. Then if you really dislike how it shoots tune as long as you know what to do.

[ccseancc143]

I have an FX. I like it. I have shot a Invasion its amazing. Hard to chose really. I have no complaints of my FX and its hard for me to go back to guns without OLEDs after getting used to the FX board.Mine came with a techt hush so its actually very quiet even compared to my friends reflex rail.The Alien shoots alot better no question though.

Well if its more fun to play that way then performance really isn't an issue.
