This company strides to give you the best product on the market for the price. With Dangerous Power, whether you get a G3, Fusion, or Threshold I assure you that you will be satisfied with your purchase. I am amazing at the wrok Dangerous Power has done in just one year alone. Producing a total of 3 new guns and having ideas for many more in the future.

Let me tell you about a particular product that I bought from this marvel of a company. Here is a comprehensive review that I have constructed for you to read. Hopefully it will allow you to look into Dangerous Powers guns more in depth.

I picked up my Threshold almost one year ago. Didn\'t know much about the gun at the time and I was itching for a new gun so I tried it out. Bought the sucker for $500 (got a deal off of someone) and it came right to my doorstep.

My first thoughts when I opened the box to the Threshold was, wow this gun is a heck of a lot smaller in real life then in pictures online. The milling was very precise, I loved it. I picked the gun up and wow it was light! The gun stuck right into my hands. The grip felt really good. The I procedded to open the box further to find that the gun came with a barrel condom, a set of ball allen keys, a keychain, and a spare set of o-rings. After I had looked all of that over I picked up the barrel and dang, that thing is so light too! The .690 bore is great! Great looking gun that definatly catches eyes.

Lets talk about the board on this beast. I had owned a 06 ego before this with a virtue board in it and was used to that. The DP board is similar as it uses leds. I opened the grips and saw the little dip switches on the board and opened my manual to see what modes I can set it too. You can set the dwell to either 18ms, 16ms, 14ms (recomended) and 12ms. Then the marker has plenty of modes on it. Everything you would want. Ramping that activates at 5bps. ramping that activates at 3 bps. NXL mode, PSP mode, every mode you would ever need for the game of paintball is on the gun. This board is excellent and you won\'t ever need a replacement.

Lets talk about the guts of the gun, or what guts it has! The gun has a neat little bolt out the back deal. Unscrew the backcap with a allen, and bam, there is your bolt. Just slide it out. Takes under 20 seconds to get it out. Very fast. The bolt is light too, just like everything else.

--LUBING THE GUN--

Here is the BEST way to lube this gun. I have heard people complaining of bolt stick and swelled o-rings and such and such. For the time that I had this gun I didn\'t have one single itsy bitsy problem. For lubing the bolt remember this! Lube on the o-rings, oil on the bolt! Use dow33 on the o-rings because dow55 with cause them to swell! Leading to bolt stick! Now out of the box the gun comes with dow55 on the bolt. When you take the bolt out rub all the dow55 off the bolt and replace the o-rings on the bolt. After that, get some dow33 and lightly spread it around the o-rings including the back cap. Then get oil and put it on the bolt and spread it around. There you go! You are done with the bolt and that takes 1 minute to do. For the reg use dow33 on the shim stack and the o-rings. Very simple.

Lets talk about the small but good things on the gun! The feedneck = amazing. You can tighten it, loosen it, everything. It will hold every hopper out there (that is worthy of being put on this gun). The barrel is very very accurate. Just about all paint works in it. I was having ball on ball all day no if\'s, an\'s, or but\'s. The asa is very good too! It uses a lever instead of the traditional spinning knob. Screw your tank into it, flip the switch and bam air is in your gun. Flip the switch again and it de-airs the gun. Very easy to use and will never fail you. The trigger on the gun is very nice but just like any gun you will have to set it up to your liking. Some people like a stiffer trigger, some like a lighter trigger feel. I like a lighter feel, and if you are one of those guys here is a little trick you can to do the trigger to achieve that feel. The trigger tension is controlled by a spring inside the frame. You pull the trigger and the spring

compresses. Well take the body off the frame (read manual first) and take that spring out. Very easy to do. Cut the LAST COIL OFF of the spring for a lighter feel. It feels really good, trust me. And that\'s how I got my trigger to feel the best out of any trigger I have used.

The reg on the gun is just amazing too. It swivels on the bottom so you can set it up how you like it. It is super easy to take apart and never got so tight on me that I couldn\'t get it apart. Very consistant reg too. You will always get at the MOST +5 -5 if you lube it and maintain it correctly.

--DAY AT THE FEILD--

The first day I brought the gun to the field I was so excited to use it, and well, show it off! I bring it out and a guy comes up to me and say\'s,\" Hey what kind of Shocker is that?\" I said,\"It\'s not a Shocker, it\'s a Threshold.\" The guy looked at me weird like I was a idiot and said,\"Yeah okay man, whatever.\" It made me happy that he had no idea what gun I was shooting. I had tons of people come up to me and ask to hold it and shoot it. Of course I was cautious. But I hit the field and right off the start of the game I could tell this gun was a keeper. Shot my lane great, ball on ball, and shot really fast too. There was hardly any kick at all. It felt very different then my ego. The lightness of the gun allowed me to move quicker then when I had my ego too. Overall, my day at the field was the best I have had in a long time. Gun shot great all day with no chops or barrel breaks either. ( I was shooting xball bronze)

I'm going to say with honesty, this is by far my most favorite gun in paintball. It simply is a masterpiece my Dangerous Power. If you have the chance to get one, do it.

My conclusion is, get this gun if you have a chance. It is a beast and will rip your opponets face off. Hell yeah!

I've had many experiences with my Threshold, I've owned it for a little under a year.

One of these experinces was when I was training for a bit to be on this team under a shop. The Threshold was performing flawlessly the whole day and beating all efficiency numbers on the field (Angel 1s were present). I was playing mid field positon and always shot at least 2-3 players out. On drills of running from one place to another while someone is shooting at us, I never got shoot... the gun just feels so good to run with.

The Threshold is awesome...

I've shot the best guns out there, from cockers, to carters, to dm8's, the sl74's, to the low ends. This is definitly a gun worth having out of all of those. Its limited, fast, easy to break down and just a fun gun to shoot. I speak this from owning 28 guns in the past 8 years of playing ball. See you on the field.

I have had my Threshold for about 3-4 months now, and this is the best marker I have ever owned. It is extremely light, fast, & accurate.

Appearance: I think that this is one of the best looking markers out there. But, you will have to get used to being asked what kind of Ion/Shocker You shoot.

Performance will be broken into to three different sub-categories:

Speed - This marker's trigger is very easy to walk. I personally do not shoot that bps, but can easily and consistently get a rope going with my Threshold. It can also be set on two different ramping modes, which can be capped at 15 or 25 bps.

Accuracy - With this marker, you hit what you aim at, period. I have shot lots of different brands of paint through this marker, and the only problems I experienced were because of the paintballs quality. I use the stock barrel almost exclusively. Even though I have a barrel kit, I really only use it when I am shooting a very small diameter ball.

Efficiency - I have never gotten so many shots per fill before this gun. At a scenario game in January, I twice shot 10 pods and a hopper out of my 68/4500. I wasn't carrying enough paint and had to ask a couple of teammates for paint, because I still had air left.

Reliability: This has been one of the easiest to maintain guns that I have ever owned. You (1) take off the back cap, (2) pull out the bolt, (3) clean & lube bolt, (4) reinsert bolt, (5) reinsert back cap. (6) Swig your beer before (7) telling your wife that it's going to take you another 3 hours to finish cleaning, and then (8) turning on and watching the game of your choice.

I have really only experienced one negative issue with this marker, and it really was not the marker, but me. At one point, I was experiencing drop-off while shooting. Sometimes the first shot would drop, sometimes just random shots would drop no matter how many times I cleaned and lubed the marker. It seemed like my bolt was sticking, so I switched to a thinner lube, with no better results. Finally I changed the battery, and have not experienced any problems since. I would also recommend that you not leave your battery in the marker when you are not using it.

Value: The value of any marker should be based on it's capabilities, and this marker is one of the most capable that I have shot. It outperforms many higher priced alternatives with ease. Resale on these pretty much sucks, but that only makes you keep a great marker a little bit longer.

I would definitely recommend Thresholds to anyone looking for a great marker!

I've been shooting the Threshold for about 3 months now and I absolutely LOVE it. It's become my main marker and always works. On cold days there may be some issues with FSDO, but nothing near as bad as any Shocker I've ever shot.

As far as maintenance goes, it couldn't be simpler, and the gun feels very solid in your hand. I'm a taller guy, so I ended up having to flip the drop around to get the gun to a comfortable shooting position, and I've heard complaints the frame is too thick, but it works great for me.
