Up for sale is a Piranha Pro E for sale. It obly been used in game once and has only had about 500 balls put through it and used for one day. No barrel breaks, no chops, not even a drop of paint on it. I relubed it afterwards and put it into storage. I won it at a tournament, but no longer need it anymore. College expenses are racking up so things have to go. Ill start with the manufacturer's specifications, then I'll give you my own little review on it.

Okay now time for my word on it. When I first picked it up, I noticed that it felt like it was a quality instrument. It didn't feel cheap, plasticky, or like it was about to fall apart. It was very sturdy, all the mill lines were very neat, and the anodizing was very well done. Everything just looks very streamline and clean on it. I took the marker and gently moved it from side to side and up and down, no rattling or lose parts. When I played with it in game, I was operating at around 225 psi and shooting 285 fps... stock! Remember this is a blow-back too. Most blowbacks need heavy modification and upgrading to even recock this low. I noticed the mainspring was very soft, this resulted in very little recoil when firing. It was very quiet. The ported stock barrel, low operating pressure, and enclosed internals all resulted in a recoiless and quiet blow-back. It was very similar to shooting an electropnuematic. Heck if you put my Matrix in one of my hands, the Pro E in the other, and blindfolded me, I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The trigger is well adjusted and very easy to walk. I novice can pick it up and walk 10. I could get 13 or 14 easily on it. This marker doesn't have eyes, but the bolt doesn't close with enough force to even chop a ball. Another plus. It really didn't matter much since I was using a Halo. I initally played the first game with a 14" Smart Parts All American on it, but took it off because the stock barrel was more accurate. I mean this thing shot darts! On the airball field, it was not uncommon to aim a piece of pack or a foot sticking out and one balling it. All in all, the marker performed well above its pricemark. It was fast firing and I could easily lace people running into my lanes. It has a distinctive sound to it.
"One going right tape!"
PthPthPthPthPthPthPthPthPth
"Ow Ow! I'm hit!"
Yea... good times. It performed all day flawlessly and I didn't even get any dirt or any paint on the marker. The gun is practically virgin. I was considering selling my Matrix and using this instead because of reliability issues, but I'm selling both right now, so I guess it really doesn't matter. That just tells you how competative this marker is. Well, I guess this is all I can think of right now. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. PBreview says this retails for $320, but I've seen it online for $240. Since I need money and I really don't have any sentimental attachment to this or anything I'm looking for around $130, about half of retail value. Offers will also be seriously considered. Now time for pics.
