funny parts i liked

The Triad is an All-Metal semi-auto paintball marker manufactured by Viewloader®

ViewLoader® sets the standard for quality paintball markers.

This is a tournament grade semi-automatic paintball marker. --- Up to 5 shots per second

However, it is not false advertising. All of their claims are subjective.

ViewLoader® sets the standard for quality paintball markers.I don't have a problem with this statement, if you take into account that most manufacturers' standards are really very, very low. ;)

Hmm... I guess it can be argued good quality for the complete LACK of quality control...

I like how they admitted it's fasted rof is 5bps. Finally, an honest company in the bussiness. I hope to see more of them. ;)

It states "two panel" grips, not two piece. They are correct.

yeah, that's totally typical eBay. people will bull**** you to no end, and in mose legal cases it's not considered an actual commercial outlet so they don't have to hold it up legally if asked to.
