Eraser 11mm Marker

I don't play paintball. However, I spend a lot of time in my large garden that attracts deer, raccoons, 'possums, and a neighborhood cat/dog or two. My problem is how to run off the pests without seriously hurting them. And then I discovered paintball markers! I researched these guns for months looking for the best combination of weight, power, design (incredibly important), ease of loading and powering up, and efficiency (bang for the buck). After seriously considering everything in the $100-$500 range, I decided that a pistol would work best (easy to carry), and ease of use and efficiency would be most important. I needed to decide between the .68 cal and the .43 cal, and the .68 cal markers were double the cost of the Kingman and used much more CO2 to propel. For efficiency, design, weight, loading, and overall size, the Kingman Eraser is perfect. Meets every criteria. I'm not sure how to find fault with this marker. Fairly inexpensive, extremely well built. The designs for the co2 and the paintball magazines are perfection. You'll need a couple of extra magazines (9 rounds per)(amazon.com), and a box of CO2 chargers (walmart) and as many paintballs (amazon.com) as you can afford. CAUTION: the kingman paintballs (100 supplied with the gun) are fragile and have a tendency to "chop" break-up in the gun. YIKES! easy to clean but what a hassle. I did some research and the RAP 4 paintballs got great reviews, and I agree that they work quite well. Remember, this is an 11mm/.43 cal marker. But it works perfectly for me.....no more deer in the garden.

Solid gun. Don't get discouraged after shooting the 11 milimeter paintball through the eraser they have a tendency to break and make a mess on the gun. Switched over to the Powderball and had great results. Low breakage and accurate with easy clean up. use it on duty for force on force training. the only drawback to the eraser at this time is the location of the magazine release close to the fingers and easily bumped

I bought this to discourage squirrels from our bird feeders and from pooping on the deck. I don't want to hurt the squirrels, just scare them. On low velocity this works very well. I use the powder ball ammunition to avoid the mess paint balls would create. This gun works well, except I've only had it 2 months and three connecting rods have broken. Also, I found out by calling customer support that Kingman sold to another company, iSport. I ordered two additional connecting rods (supposedly stainless steel to mitigate the breaking rods). The first rod broke after a month.

It seems to be falling apart after about 5 backyard sessions shooting at cans. Hopefully it is a simple fix. It seems to be a quality piece of hardware otherwise, and my son and I have had a lot of fun with it.

The Kingman training eraser is a great paintball marker. The marker came in good and very organizing packaging. The package came with the paintball marker itself, 2 12g CO2 cartridges, barrel plug, barrel cleaner, good parts kit, 100 paintballs, and 1 magazine. Some pros are you don"t have to assemble the gun, it comes with everything that you need to use the marker, it shoots nicely, it has good grips, and it has a sight.The only cons are some fields don"t let you use 43 caliber paintballs and 43 caliber paintballs can be very expensive. Other than that this is a great paintball marker and I would definitely recommend it.

Quality build. The only detractor is its weight and lack of realism in look.

It weighs about as much as a real pistol, and is about the size of a full-sized Springfield XD or similar.The gun chopped one out of every dozen balls or so using the balls supplied with it. Once I switched to paintballs I had bought seperately, the gun did not chop at all. I fired two cylinders of C02 worth of paintballs through it, counting every shot, for the purpose of judging gas capacity. I got 79 shots from the first cylinder and 80 from the second. The last ball shot out with virtually the same speed as the first.For scenario type games this easily defeats the larger pistols such as the Ariakon Overlord, which now gathers dust on a shelf. The .68 cal pistols are often as large or larger than .68 cal "rifles". Range on the Eraser isn't going to be as far as the larger guns, but the size, shape, and gas efficiency are winners for me.There are several YouTube videos of this gun being fired, tested, unboxed etc. if you need further convincing.

It is a cool looking gun however it just does not shoot in the same direction each time also sized down some. It is kinda big not the same feel as a real pistol.
