i dont think theres much out there for a freestyle yet, no offense to icd, but they arent very fast nor expansive on their parts.

the only freestyles ive seen were ball blenders....


you dont want ur balls in a blender... no matter how u put it

better question...

I think the better question about the Freestyle is "what upgrades do I really need" rather than what is available. I say this because, as a Freestyle owner, I can tell you that the Freestyle comes standard with a clamping rise, Autococker barrel threads, rail drop, on/off ASA, anti-chop eyes, double-adjustable trigger, dual ball detents with metal covers, high pressure and low pressure regulators, 9-volt operation, fade anodizing and a Delrin bolt. My only recommendation would be checking into a high efficiency modification from ICD if that isn't already standard. The Freestyle shoots fast, is quite accurate, with a hopper fast enough to keep up with it will not break or chop good quality paintballs and is very small and light. For the money, the Freestyle is an amazing value, and if you already know Mags, when you dismantle it, you'll probably recognize it.

The efficiency is bad. I had about 3k in my tank when I started and only put *MAYBE* 4 hoppers through it before I was around 500. On the other hand, my operating pressure is around 250... not sure how much more I'll get by lowering it, but it is one of my goals. One thing I can say is that it's very light and well balanced (at least I think so). The ball detent system is rather unique in that it's just the bullet shaped detent and a spring held in by the eye cover. Nothing to really unscrew or set correctly.

The biggest problem I have with it right now is the air efficiency.
