Great gun!Aug 23, 2010 This gun is great! I set up a chain hanging from a tree, and shot it from about 100 feet back and I hit it on my first try!
It's a little heavy, but a nice gun.
If you add an E/R trigger, and a remote line, this gun could be the best woodsball gun.
Shipping was cheap and fast!
Recommended to any paintball player who likes woodsball.

Project Salvo, Best Overall Paintball GunJul 22, 2010 The Tippmann US Army Project Salvo is the best paintball gun I've ever had. Admittedly, it's the second gun I have, next to the Tippmann 98 Custom Pro.
I've taken this out to many woodsball games and this is a durable gun, and is definitely one of the "best bang for your buck" paintball guns out there. The Project Salvo however is set at a good price for a paintball gun at $150. It looks like an M4 and is super customizable. It has a "picatinny rail system" that lets you slide on just about anything you'd want onto a paintball gun. You can put lasers, red dot sights, cameras, grips, bipods, flashlights and even grenade launchers onto the Project Salvo using its easy picatinny rails.
I myself have added a Tactical MilSim Grip/Bipod onto my Project Salvo and a Cyclone Feeder. This gun is also EASY to maintain. It can be taken apart using the Allen keys/wrenches that come with the gun, and can be cleaned or updated without problems. The magazine/clip is also a neat tool. It doesn't work as a real magazine/clip, but serves as a storage compartment for your Allen keys/wrenches and some o-rings. This way you can fix your gun on the field if you need to (which has never been necessary for me).
This is gun is amazing and I seriously recommend it to new players (because of affordability and easy maintenance) and regulars (because of how authentic it looks and how powerful it is).
I did a review on this gun on my Youtube channel which is [...]
Hope this helps!

Great productMay 22, 2010 I purchased this product not knowing a whole lot about paintball markers. only played a few times prior and always borrowed a gun. In the past I have borrowed a spyder, custom 98, and tip A-5. The project salvo seems to rate up there with the custom 98 and even the A5 in my opinion, but far surpasses the spyder. I have only shot a couple hundred rounds in my back yard so far. I think this is a good product. I really enjoy mine so far and would recommend it.

Good woodsball gunMay 10, 2010 This gun is great for woodsball. It is heavy, and only has a single trigger, which causes some gross disadvantages for speedball or airball. It is very accurate and quiet. I found it to be very efficient on gas use also. I shot about 1500 rounds on a regular 20 oz CO2 tank. I never chopped a ball or had a single malfunction. You don't really have to worry about outfiring the gun, because with the single trigger and heavy trigger pull, rate of fire is fairly slow. I don't know what would happen with an e-trigger and cyclone feeding system, which will fit right onto the marker. Oh yeah, the picatinny rail is really cool and looks snazzy, but without the sight rail of a regular M-16, there is no way someone with a mask could look through the objective of a scope mounted on the rail without the butt folded in. Even the stock sights are unuseable with the butt folded out.
Fun to Shoot!Apr 28, 2010 My first impression of the Project Salvo Marker is that Tippmann again has another great marker. While this marker is similar to some of Tippmann's other markers, there are some new, important and player appreciated features. One of my favorite features is the ability to easily attach a sling to the front and rear of the marker. Project Salvo has many picatinny rails which allows players to further upgrade their markers to met their MilSim or specialty needs. Also, the marker's grip is very comfortable. Another unmentioned but pleasant feature that this marker has, is the ability to see if the gun is cocked, ready to be fired. With a quick glance a player can quickly and easily look at the small exposed area behind the cocking pin and see if the spring is cocked. All too often I have forgotten to have my marker cocked at the start of a game only to find out after I have pulled the trigger and not fired. I then have to scramble to cock the marker while wasting valuable play time and missing shot opportunities while the other players are running around and exposed. For players to have this quick check ability, this may give a player thean edge at the start of each game. The tool kit magazine now fits snuggly into the marker and does not seem as flimsy a previous versions. The collapsible and folding stock allows for in game, situation by situation, position adjustment to fill any need. The stock can be fully extended, for longer, well placed shots or with a few quick movements, collapsed and folded for to give the player greater mobility and a smaller profile allowing the player greater speed and the option to squeeze into tight spaces.
Although this marker has a "Made in China" sticker, my impression of the marker is that it is made with the same quality and toughness Tippmann has built their reputation on. The receivers are made from an all aluminum die cast, still uses the stainless steel gas line (wont rust or break), uses their proven high performance In-line bolt system, and uses the quick release feeder elbow. The quick release feeder elbow is a nice feature which makes cleaning out any paint breaks very quick and easily. With a barrel squeegee, this task can be done on the field and during play.
The U.S. Army line of Tippmann markers is a great way for new and not-so new players to get a hold of a cosmetically upgraded marker at a low, great price. I can recall spending a great deal of money upgrading my earlier Tippmann markers to have many of the features that come included with this marker right out of the box, ei... the functional tool kit magazine clip, the picatinny rails, the foldable, collapsible stock, carry handles and many more.
This marker is definitely a great buy for new players and players into MilSim. With all the great features and the proven reliability of Tippmann, go out and buy one to add to your collection.
