I play every weekend. I love it. I got a Jt 4.0 excellerator brand new of of ebay back in may for $100. I put on a ricochet 2k, and a 16" all american barrel. Setup totally kicks ass. Accurate as ever.
Not good enough to enter the tournaments that me and my teammates plan on getting into so i'm saving up for this
bad boy.
hopefully i'll have it around feb. of next year.
as for a hopper, don't get the 12k, go for the new eVolution II.
thats just my opinion.
