[@goofdunk]

Really, empire should include a carrying case for the axe pro

[@maxbarnaby4004]

Totally agree

[@liammccarthy9251]

Yeah for the price it needs a better case

[@liammccarthy9251]

yeah exactly

[@fusefire8200]

goofdunk 3 years on but ikr

[@ANSgearPaintball]

Dillon - The marker is very easy to maintain with a tool-less bolt design. You do not have to do a full breakdown after every day of play, but it is recommended that you re-grease and clean your bolt. It will not run on Co2, only HPA.

[@brandonshantz8572]

ANSgearPaintball I am just starting out with paintball and need some advice, from somebody with experience? What is the best brand to use? What is the best gun to buy? thanks

[@FuzzyFruits]

Brandon Shantz some great entry guns are Planet Eclipse Etha, Invert mini GS. If you're looking to spend more Empire Axe or etel 4/5

[@elginplays1837]

Brandon Shantz i totally agree with the empire mini gs, but look into older modles as well, not much has changed

[@skyrimax887]

+FuzzyFruits The invert minis cost 475 usually

[@FuzzyFruits]

Mustang Gt350 Not even close lmao. Mini's are like 325, and Axe is around 450.

[@jamespriceful]

a guy handed me one in the middle of a game the other day my gun failed its pretty solid i waxed five rooks with it super smooth accurate no climbing just butter im going to try to snag one good review thanks for a full break down.

[@0311tard]

I'm so in love with my older axe. I can't seem to get into another gun I love it so much. Don't get me wrong the newer ones are bad ass but mine I love it

[@269paintball5]

Look at this... AXE.

[@kidlat1968]

I hope you give out a tutorial on how to use the modes and the interface of the electronic marker

[@metalmavenmike80]

Im just glad they added the gasket to the fore-grip cover plate. thats way smarter. Never had any issues with my eyes.

[@zoomzoomgt]

this or vanquish 2.0..... had the previous axe pro loved it. love the small n tight profile, had a dm14 didn't like how it was stretched out. so chances are I wont like the quish. whatcha think tho??

[@user-ui9td9ki4x]

I just want to know if the grip on the axe pro is made out of metal

[@juderutschilling1234]

yes

[@ZMaan332]

Can you please do a walkthrough of the oled board please?

[@danireyes9706]

Can do you a video on the firing modes?

[@TheBroz]

Really good walk-though guys, thanks.

[@johnknapp5127]

great review nice new features on the axe pro I have a mini GS the only issue with it is the bolt spring gets stuck and I have to use a swab to push it out through the front of the breach after doing it 2 or 3 times noticed scratches in the cylinder were the spring and bolt rest not too happy about that I would have to say my favorite feature is the push button quick bolt release for the bolt system axe pro bolt springs seems to come out just fine wish I could say that about my mini gs for the price should come with a case and a color manual and how much lighter is it compared to the old axe?

[@ANSgearPaintball]

John Knapp According to the manual from the manufacturer, the weight of the Mini GS is 1.90 lbs.

[@johnknapp5127]

ANSgearPaintball what I meant is the 2015 axe pro lighter then the old axe pro and how much ligher I already know the weight of the mini GS

[@ANSgearPaintball]

John Knapp Yes, the 2015 Axe Pro is lighter as we test it in the video. In the video we find that the difference is 2 oz.

[@johnknapp5127]

ANSgearPaintball okay thank you I missed that part in the video

[@nickclaussen4615]

Great review!!! The only thing I didn't like was that The new Axe Pro was being compared to the old basic Axe and The new Axe Pro is obviously better. You guys should have compared the New Axe Pro with the old Axe Pro. People will only spend 700 dollars on the new axe pro if it is that much better than the old Axe Pro,no the basic Axe.

[@stuffwithsteve5115]

so they took the feedneck and ASA off the Mini GS and put them on the Axe pro... nice.

[@michaelsalako9036]

These are pretty good markers

[@christopherstrollo385]

Thanks for the great reviews. One question. What is the best way to clean this gun after a game? On my other guns I usually use a slightly damped barrel swab and then another dry one follow by greasing the gun. Is this correct or should i not use any water?

[@ANSgearPaintball]

Christopher Strollo That is a good way to clean the gun. I personally just use a dry paper towel and Q-tips. After that I lube the parts that need it and put it together.

[@christopherstrollo385]

Cool thanks

[@niiick7215]

I’m having a leak out of the back of the gun where I take the bolt out and I don’t know why HELP

[@deiluxx]

question: could you use the axe pro for woods ball, would it hold up in that type of environment?

[@ANSgearPaintball]

+vise versa Yes it would hold up in woodsball conditions.

[@dillonmcinerney9104]

How easy is this to maintain? I want something that can clean nicely but has some take-apart methods to it. In other words will this clean with more than 5 steps but don't have to completely disassemble it after every day of play. Also, will this run on Co2. Im 13 and don't have my own car. The nearest park is 30min away, (which is were I would get my HPA). I have a large backyard and want to be able to shoot this in my free time. Thanks for the help.

[@ERIPPER35LETSPLAY]

+Dillon McInerney This will not take Co2 it is an electronic marker and the cold of the Co2 can freeze the o-rings and the board

[@zoomzoomgt]

new axe are nice, however I think they took a step back on the eye system, mainly the detents.....from using delrin detents to rubber fingers. the durability isn't there compared to the delrin detents. aside from that people are asking compare to an old axe pro......the old pro vs the new pro, is pretty much the same aside from milling and making things smaller........ in the end still has the same engine (redline board) which is the heart of the marker.

[@thesaltypaintballer4]

What fps will this thing shoot?

[@astercruise5808]

I'm looking to get my first tournament marker. Would you recommend the used axe pro for 450 or the new proto rize maxxed for 325.

[@evanhernandez2684]

That's exactly what I want to know.

[@kevinxiao877]

axe pro

[@jordanleduc1401]

Bout a mini gs then figured out this came out, I would take this over a gs

[@codybettis9104]

the button to release the bolt does it ever get hit while you're, playing thus ejecting your bolt as you play?

[@ANSgearPaintball]

You cannot take the bolt out when the marker is pressurized the button is impossible to push in.

[@kidlat1968]

can you dry fire this even without actual paint? will air still come out? coz mine doesnt im not sure if I have a defective one

[@jrang7562]

kidlat1968 turn the eyes off by pressing the power button once after marker is turned on

[@jpage2]

Dear ANSgearPaintball, i just got back in the scene after about a decade and the only marker ive owned is a spyder tl-x semi-auto, so i want a really great electric marker thats reliable easy to maintain accurate and just overall a great marker for me.... im just curious i just bought one of your ninja 68/4500 tanks with pro v2 reg, wondering if it would be compatible with the axe pro on its lowest output pressure setting, since on your ninja reg page on the ans site it says the v2 pro reg will work with just about any HPA marker? let me know thanks

[@ANSgearPaintball]

It will work with an Axe Pro and you shouldn't need to adjust the output pressure. The factory setting should be perfect for that.

[@jpage2]

if the factory setting for my tank regulator output pressure is about 800psi, how would that be perfect if my axe pro says it has a max input pressure of 200psi?

[@jpage2]

?

[@xholzerr]

sooo sexy, gunna get it for my bday, and recommendations on what tank i should get? i shoot allot but need something light! ty!

[@ANSgearPaintball]

+Holzer Take a look at our Ninja SL tanks: www.ansgear.com/searchresults.asp?Search=ninja+sl&Submit=

[@xholzerr]

+ANSgearPaintball yeah, I really want the sl, but my budget can't afford it ;(

[@snyckee9340]

i wanted to know witch 1 is better out of the Geo 3.5 and 2015 Axe Pro?

[@teamcrossfirepaintball4962]

+Snyckee Jones geo is 5x better its best gun inn the world

[@theeswagasaurus6252]

Sooo which is better the pro or etek 5 cuz ik really gearing towards the etek but i need an opinion

[@ANSgearPaintball]

Josh Pitpitan It is really personal preference as to which is better. The Etek 5 has not been released as of yet but from what we can see both guns are great quality guns and will perform the same.

[@Just4You5049]

I have an Invert mini GS right now but I'm want to get a new marker. I have $700 and I kind of want to stay with empire but if I don't what would be a good recommendation?

[@legendarygalvez]

Etek 5!

[@legendarygalvez]

Hovah_47 or 2015 axe pro

[@legendarygalvez]

But if you save up 100 more you can get a dm14

[@everythingmsm-videogamesan607]

I would go with the Etek 5, but if I saved up $100 more, I would definitely get the DM12

[@everythingmsm-videogamesan607]

I meant DM14 lol

[@ampc4k365]

How good is the mini GS for tournament play?

[@ANSgearPaintball]

it's good

[@brockb4452]

i think im the only one that hates the new feedneck bc I can't put a no-rise feedneck on it like companies made for the original axe which made the hopper drop so low and it just looked SICK. this is actually my deal breaker to NOT get a pro lol

[@mastereslam6567]

How can i get it in Egypt i want to bay paintball guns and Accessories for project

[@ANSgearPaintball]

Eslam Alngm Check with your local customs department and make sure that paintball items are allowed to be shipped through. We will send items to your address, but it is your responsibility to make sure it will be allowed through customs in your country.

[@PLAYERUOFFICIAL]

whats a good marker for beginner/intermediate players

[@lukegameplayandmore2644]

+tomminator3462 An azodin kaos 90$ usd currently i own one, pretty cheap and good if you havnt bought one already

[@therynes]

Is there any better manuals than the one originally because I do not understand this small manual

[@ANSgearPaintball]

imoldgregmofo Unfortunately we do not have any other manuals for the guns.

[@elginplays1837]

imoldgregmofo go to paintballsulitions.com

[@azn_kozo]

What marker would you recommend for beginner ?

[@ANSgearPaintball]

***** Spyders make excellent beginner markers. Tippmann also have a very good selection to chose from that are all simple to use and maintain. It's all about the style of play you prefer. If you want to play tournament style paintball I would recommend an Empire brand marker or a Planet Eclipse marker.

[@nickv1559]

Phillip planet eclipse are really really expensive

[@brianchu1710]

Any chance of you accidentally pressing the bolt release and it blasting out due to air pressure?

[@ANSgearPaintball]

***** It is not likely as you have to twist the back in a certain motion to get it out. The piece has a small pin that needs to snake itself through grooves on the gun in order to be released.

[@brianchu1710]

ANSgearPaintball Ah, so it's similar to the regular Axe?

[@rjonzen34]

***** yes it is similar, but empire claims it will not release if the button is pushed while pressurized.

[@LUIS09406]

I bought a Axe Pro came with a defectSend it back to them and when I got it back still the same problemNothing was fixedAnsgear got the worst customer service I dealt withNow Im stock with a supposedly new gun that's bustedThanks

[@boudrouxwier5568]

bout to order a pro but 1 question b4 I do what is 1 upgrade you'd make? don't say their isn't one there always is just wanna know if it's major or minor! thank you

[@yuhget108]

Probably upgrade the barrel at some point

[@luism.fernandez2164]

a techt bolt is a good upgrade for them, I have it on mine and I was able to lower the pressure so it is smoother now.

[@AHaugaard]

Please tell me there is a whit axe without that brown color! D:

[@co8539]

Lol hopefully, that brown is disgusting

[@BCS86]

My Axe pro wont shoot at 200psi and the velocity won't go over 250

[@GarrrettGoPro]

Do they have all black?

[@ANSgearPaintball]

GarrettGoPro There is a 2015 Axe Pro Black/Grey www.ansgear.com/Empire_Axe_Pro_Paintball_Gun_Dust_Black_Grey_p/empireaxeprogundblackgrey.htm

[@brandonjaurequi-bartels9636]

ya its on the empire website but ANS has them for a cheaper price.

[@pauliemayhem4517]

what size are the allen keys?

[@ANSgearPaintball]

+paul leemhuis SAE Sizes. 1/16, 5/64, 3/32, and 1/8

[@pauliemayhem4517]

thanks

[@billhansbury9398]

Inline poppet still or spool?

[@maxfernandez8424]

Bill Hansbury still inline poppet

[@Dangerwiggles]

I need help. My sister's husband gave me his old markers. I finally figured out that this special one is an Empire Axe, but I can't figure out what type it is, because I have no idea how to trouble shoot or work it properly. The foregrip is separate from the trigger guard, rounded bottom, and it has a circular hole on each side of the body. You can see silver through them, which I'm assuming is the bolt. I've only been able to find one picture online of the gun, but I couldn't find the name. Any help would be appreciated. importedg.com/images/Empire%20Axe%20Paintball%20Gun%20-%20S.E.%20Rasta%201.jpg is the best image I've been able to find with a body that looks like mine.

[@ANSgearPaintball]

kiraanimerawr1 Please feel free to contact my customer service department in regards to your inquiry as they will be able to assist you further. I would recommend sending them an email with the picture. Their email is [e-mail]

[@Dangerwiggles]

Found out on pbnation. It's a Shocker sft, thanks!

[@hellabroke118]

Is overpriced for not having a case and a color manual like their competitors since no one really will waste time trying to use the CD. The on/off Asa is a step back from last year, doesn't seem to have a lip to even use it once an hpa tank is in a place. Is a great marker but the price is too much for what your getting.

[@mannym4630]

OMG AXE PRO OR GTEK I CAN'T DECIDE PLZ HELP

[@maxfernandez8424]

Manny M I would go with a gtek. I haven't shot the pro but I know the gtek is smooth quiet and you can service the regulator

[@MF-pm5dh]

Axe pro or Etha 2, y'all?

[@edwardmowton9825]

Wish they would come out with a Redline-less version. Could knock over $100+ off the price. Pretty useless unless you're always changing the settings. Had my regular axe and never once needed to change any settings.

[@renegadebond6268]

it's a speedball rifle, it has to have multiple setting of fires.

[@taylorc9131]

+Damian Reyes the axe has all the same modes without the OLED board

[@gregdevalk6668]

, have a cold packs but I'm burwell rose over

[@XoTicGunner]

I wish it came in all black. Not a fan of these color combinations.

[@elginplays1837]

Manuel Hernandez it dose look at the website, i might be wrong but normaly the all do

[@finnw442]

I used to play paintball... but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[@ricochet08]

ouch :(

[@DeeP-_PerspectivE]

Paint balling or airsoft? If paintballing, why so?

[@ANSgearPaintball]

+F1N1SHEDD What is your question exactly?

[@saulv.874]

+ANSgearPaintball he is asking wich is better

[@xholzerr]

+F1N1SHEDD airsoft = more cheaters and allot easyer to cheat, paintball not so much, i mean there is still cheaters, dont get me wrong, but its a bit more difficult, and more fun!

[@cadenjames442]

to damm expensive

[@vercillies6606]

ha so shitty, empire do us dirty on these boxes....not even a soft case...for that reason...im out

[@scottish_pb8868]

Kush Doctor A lot of guns come without a case
