I recieved my F8 directly from DP last week. Right out of the box this thing was impressive, so light, the milling was fantastic and the emerald green color was absoloutely gorgeous!! what\'s even better is I got #002 of the run :-) Right out of the box I was able to put paint out with a real ease, this gun just flew!! I made a few trigger adjustments and thats about it. 4 days later I participated in my first 3 man tourney. The FPS was +/- 5 all day long and the air consumption was very good, and to top it off my team won the tourney! We had 3 teams in and took 1st, 2nd and 4th, with most of us using DP guns. If you want a light effecient and just awesome looking gun with excellent performance, the F8 is the gun for you!

i got my Dangerous power fusion LE in the mail like 2 weeks ago, just took it out for a test drive with a full day of ballin and i must say i love this gun. I adjusted the trigger so it was like a mouse click, cranked the lpr up a bit was shootin 300, flipped the dip switches to mill mode and was just slingin paint, it was so quiet, and accurate. I got a lot of compliments, and questions about how i like it, the R.A.P.S asa is also really nice just a flip of a lever and the gun gassed up no problem. and maintenance wise no allen wrenches required for just a basic cleaning i just pulled the pin and the bolt slid out i wiped it with a rag then i turned the back cap a quarter turn and it came off and the internals spilled out , wiped em' off relubed em' and slipped them back in and thats it. I got it and the box was real nice, came with the allen wrenches very nicely padded and everything i got about a hopper and 4 pods off a 3k fill. I compared my gun with a new Eteck ego and there was no difference he had a critical trigger on it, and a reloader B2, and the weight of the guns were the same they were both just as accurate as eachother and both were paint slingers only difference between his eteck and my fusion LE was my gun cost a whole lot less =]
Great gun, performance of an ego at half the cost, get one

Today I played with my fusion for the first time. And it was awesome! Overall it is a very nice marker, and the reputation of the fusion is starting to get around. Once someone found out I was shooting a fusion a bunch of players wanted to see it and I kept getting asked how I liked it the whole day. So here’s a breakdown of my thoughts.
Packaging--Upon opening my fusion box I noticed nice clean simple organization. Everything fit in nice, tight, form-fitted slots and was adequately padded.
Accessories--A simple but thorough manual was included, along with a nice heavy barrel condom. And I was shocked to see a full set of labeled allen wrenches such as you would buy in a store. With this marker costing as much as 3 times less than other markers why cant all companies include an 8 dollar allen set instead of having 3 wrenches in a Ziploc bag? Very nice addition DP and that’s just another example of Dp's commitment to quality products and customer service.
Build Quality and Features--The fusion had excellent build quality. It weighs in at just over 2 lbs. It is strong with a smooth surface and a nice dust finish. Milling was simple yet tasteful giving it a good look. Overall the fusion is short and created a low, tight fitting profile. The barrel was a nice 2 piece with a bore of .690. The fusion comes with a nice clamping feedneck as standard. The eye system is break beam and the board is a simple yet effective dipswitch board that has all the modes. An easy clean 2 button pad on the back of the frame complete the set up. And another surprise is the break beam optical trigger system that is only found on markers well over the $1,000 range. Yet another statement from DP that there here for the customer and will offer quality products for a very good price without getting caught up in the ridiculous prices other markers are going for. The last thing I noticed is the frame on the fusion is one of the best frames I have seen. It is light, comfortable, has a large trigger guard, and is very organized. It is organized into 2 sections; one for the board, and a nice compartment for the battery with plenty of room to fit it in, but tight enough for everything to fit snug with no wiggling around.
Performance--I gassed the marker up and chronoed. It was shooting 250 out of the box, so I tuned the lpr until I was shooting 280. I let a series of shots off and experienced +/- 4 which isn’t bad and will inevitably get better as the reg breaks in. The fusion is surprisingly quiet, quieter than many other markers on the field. I experienced practically no kick with the fusion, and it shoots very very smooth. The stock barrel was accurate and I could lay nice tight patterns all day long. Speed wise the fusion holds its own with most markers on the field. The fusion is fast and can rip 25 bps all day long with ease and is just a blast to play with!
Overall--With the accessories, build quality, and features included on the fusion there is no reason for any marker to be over $1000 in paintball today in my opinion and until other companies learn this Dangerous Powers will be around for a long time and always be first to me! This is a marker that performs and looks like a marker that costs 2 or 3 times its price and at $375 it won’t drain your wallet and is more than worth it for any paintballer.

the dp-fusion is going to change paintball as we know it.
the fusion shoots like a thousand doller gun, but at a fraction of the cost.
it looks real good, shoots very fast, has eyes, never chops...
I'm in love with this gun and it shoots as fast as my intimidator, and didnt cost half as much!

Well when I first got mine in the mail, this thing just looked amazing, this is probably the best upgrade if you are coming from a Spyder like me. The trigger is super light and I can shoot a couple more bps more then with my spyder. This thing is worth more then it sells for and it can easily compare to other markers that cost hundreds of dollars more. Now most of the people looking in this review are probably comparing this to the SLG or Mini. My friend has an SLG that he bought for $200. The trigger had much less spring to the SLG and it's maintenence was easier the SLG also. The stock barrel is much better then the SLG (DP's is almost ball on ball from a very good distance). and you don't have to buy a new feedneck. The New DPs are coming out with the new Mill.and PSP modes (I think) and the Fusion can go up to 25bps. I could not be any happier with this purchase, it is even easier to maintain then my spyder. Nobody will ever regret a purchase like this, TRUST ME, YOU ARE GETTING MORE FOR YOUR MONEY!
