Hi, to all to Dangerows Power staf and all future consumer interesting about DP products.

I have one of your products- the F8. What can i say about it :) That I dont have any problems from the time I buy it :)). I play whit my original O-rings from the first time. Only lube it after 2-3 plays and play again. VERY, VARY reliabile marker dont have any problems whit it. The other advantages of that marker is its weight , accuracy when you shot, easy maintenance and more other i cant point all of them .....

What can i say on finale... folks that marker is vary good offer for you for the money that you give! Im sure that all other products from DP are wonderfull too. Dont think a lot, just point on one and buy it!

Dangerous Power engineers- keep the good work! You are good!

Just make and some aftermarket parts for your markers. And one more think, that is only a suggestion- make one top marker and use on it the best materials you can get, like carbon, use all best from other markers you have, than one day just place in the site the news.

Best regards,

I recently bought my Fusion F8. I have had it for about three weeks now and I can honestly say it is the best gun I have owned. When I first chronographed it I was shooting +/- 2 that is with an unbroken in regulator. If you are ever looking into buying a high end electronic marker, don\'t ever go with Spyder again. Dangerous Power is that way to go. The customer service is great and over all the marker are woderful too.

I've been playing paintball on and off since around '97 and the F8 is by far one of the best markers I have owned/used. It is hard to improve upon perfection (Fusion/LE), but I believe DP has done it with the F8. Dangerous Power is a newer company, but they stand behind their products and their level of outstanding customer service is almost unheard of in the paintball industry. I read many reviews on the F8, and DP in general, before making my purchase and I have absolutely no regrets that I did.

When i first got the new F8 in january the temp was 26 - 30 centigrade, nice. now with temps of 50+ centigrade and 100% humidity, my F8 gives me the will to go play speedball!

The F8 is AWSOME and ive heard good things about the Fusion, and Threshold too!

Thanks DP!

The F8 is the greatest gun i have ever shot hands down (im getting the G3 soon and i cant wait to see wat it can do). The gun is flawless. Accurate and fast, consistent and low matinence. I have taken it to practice after practice and it has never let me down. I am the only person on my 7 man team who owns a DP and i am the only player without gun problems. I have never broken a ball in my gun and its accuracy is rediculous, my coach used just the barrel on is Hybirds Traitor Shocker and said \"Ian this barrel shoots darts i cant wait to see what the gun can do\". i play on a sand speedball feild and the feild kills guns. Not my gun. I know people that take ego\'s, dm\'s, shockers, sl66s, angels, etc. onto that feild and they come off crying tha their gun broke because of the sand. I play snake and frontman im always diveing on the sand and my gun always works after i get up. I am very satisfied with this gun and would tell anyone that is pressed for money (as i am) who wants the best bang for his buck to get any Dangerous Power marker.

I purchased the F8 about 5 months ago to play scenario ball with. The milling on the thing is beautiful. I gasses it up, chronoed, and played right out of the box. It chronoed +/- 7. Unbroken in I got 1160 shots on a 68/45. I was very impressed with the performance. 5 months later. ZERO problems. I get about 1250-1300 shots per 68/4500. I have a deadlywind on it. I could not be happier with it. I have recently ordered some parts that I expect will make its performance all that much greater. After roughly 6 cases through the reg its +/-3fps steadily. AMAZING! I definitely recommend the F8 to everyone! You will not be dissapointed. I am a Dangerous Power customer for Life!!!

-First Impressions-
My brother and I open these beasts on Christmas Morning, and we were very happy to say the least. The first thing you notice is the flawless anno and milling job done by Dangerous Power, there was not a single scratch or bump one the entire gun. Just smooth, flowing lines. The milling on this gun isn't jsut for looks though, Online we heard a few people say these guns looked "bulky" and "tall". The whole bulky thing was complete bull, as the body of this gun is just as slim as an ego. And side by side with my old Ion, this gun is only ONE CENTIMETER taller. Speaking of size, the bolt for this gun is unbelievably small, measuring about 2 3/4 inches long. And on the very to of this gun, is the feed neck, and an impressive on at that. The F8's feedneck measures only one inch tall, but it still grips my Vlocity very, very well.

Time to talk about the trigger. Yes, the trigger will feel... "different" when you first pick the gun up, unless you are used to an opti-switch trigger instead of the old micro switch triggers. But after a minute of adjusting, and a few more to get used to the new feel, you will realize that the F8's opti-switch trigger is 1) Smoother than a micro switch trigger, and 2) More adjustable than a micro switch trigger.

As you move lower on the gun, you notice Dangerous Power's nifty little invention, the RAPS on/off ASA. This little guy uses a simple lever to let the air into your gun, and it is much faster than the traditional twist knob ASA. But, if for some odd reason the RAPS doesn't please you, Dangerous Power was nice enough to throw in a twist knob ASA too!

-At The Field-
We arrived at MPG with hopes to finally play with our new guns. After loading some pods, and filling up out tanks, we headed over to the chrono to see if the F8's reg really could hold up to all of the hype it had been receiving. Well, I guess we can say, everyone was right, we were seeing numbers like +/- 5 over the chrono. This was really nice to see, coming from Ions that barely could hold to +/-10. And remember, these F8 regs that were pumping out a consistent +/- 5 were not even broken in yet.

Finally it was time to play, after stepping on to the field and removing the quality barrel covers that came with the gun, waited for the countdown. Off the break, I could easily rip off a consistent rope of paint, and I was quick to notice how there was almost no kick. Actually I couldn't even call it kick, more like a rumble that was to weak to through your aim off at all. After I started to snap shoot, I found out how accurate the stock barrel truly was. The barrel could easily keep a 6 inch spread at 75 ft. This kind of accuracy is almost as good as my Scepter barrel kit, so there is no reason to get a new barrel unless you want to squeeze every ounce of performance out of this marker.

During the game, if you happen to post up on someone, you don't ever have to worry about your arm getting tired ever again, this gun is a feather weight at just over 2 lbs fully loaded. It's all metal construction *cough* PMR *cough* feels extremely solid too.

After the game was over, normally we would head over to the fill station to get more air, but not anymore. The F8 uses almost no gas, and can get nearly a case off of a 68/4500, which makes it one of the most efficient guns ever made.

-Back Home-
One of the F8's best features it not it's ungodly efficiency, or ball on ball accuracy, but it is it's ability to be so quickly cleaned and lubed. It takes less than 30 seconds to remove all of the moving parts (Bolt, ram, spring). The process involves: 1) Pull up on bolt pin and slide bolt out. 2) Insert allen wrench into back cap and turn 90* 3) Tilt gun back and slide the ram out. 4) Lube. 5) Reverse steps 1-3. There you go, you gun is back in perfect condition and ready to go mow some faces, the maintenance could not be easier.

Edit 1: My brothers had to go in to the shop due to some bad shoot down, but mine is still fine. Last time I played, I had the chance to shoot a Bob Long Vice, along with my F8. Besides the triggers and grips, they felt and shot exactly the same. I actually had to turn the gun sideways and look at it sometimes to see which one I was shooting. Also the Vice had a Ultralight on it, and my F8 with a stock barrel shot just as straight, or maybe even a little straighter. Just showing that DP needs to make a kit very soon, and let others experience there god sticks (barrels) so in a nut shell: $800+ Vice=$400 F8.

Oh by the way, I let the kids on my team shoot it too, now two of them are going to start shooting them too, one traded his NXT for it.

Conclusion: This gun shoots similar the same as an Ego, and easily beats out the Etek in different categories, so what is the big deal you may ask? Well the big deal is that the Ego will cost you 300% more. Finally a $399 marker that resembles a $1250 Ego. Just buy the F8, it will be the last gun you will ever need. Or at least until another Fusion comes out
