    I've talked to a guy that shot both side by side, both setup perfectly, and he is going with the new V7 Freestyle.

    I personally thought the Defiant was small, light, but felt really cheap.

      well the freestyle is gonna be more like a mag. its small and light. very fast,and easy to learn. not allot of upgrades but you dont need that many to make it so much better. The only thing that i have noticed from my teamates free is that it uses up the gas like a hog. But he said that that was due to the setting he had it on. the noid was useing more gas. it could be altered. Its supposed to get decent air, if i recall

          Defiant feels nice and is incredibly light, however I would never buy it. It doesn't even have an interchangeable regulator, the torpedo and VA on there is reverse threaded, so until an aftermarket one comes out, you are locked into using that regulator.

            The defient is basicly a Bushmaster with a few more bells and whisles. The Freestyle is ICD's top of the line marker so I'd go with that.

                This begs the question, what can't you stand about it?

                    Ahh, I was afraid it was some performance thing. But yeah, perference is a huge thing. Like I find most timmy's (bascially all but my friends RL is solid imo) feel cheap, same with the defiant 2. I mean, they are so light, they feel like toys almost. Also the defiant 2 currently has a reg that can't be replaced.

                        alright guys im gonna go in the oppisite im going with the defaint 2 because i have worrys about the freestyles reliblity. Also i like the trigger pull trigger frame better on the defaint. ALso the defiant 2 simpilar, has better efficany, and a better reg which will lead to more consistance.(yes i realize no aftermarket but im sure an adapter will be out shortly enough). But thank you all for your input.

                            defiant 2 really cant even be compared to a freestyle. IF you're thinking about getting a gun in the sense of the defiant 2, then wait a little and get the b2k5.

                              What? The Defiant2 is very similar internal-wise to a timmy, just in a different package. Plus it has a frenzy board in it stock & get alot better efficiency than the Freestyle... Most people compare the new Defiant2's to timmies, to put it in with B2k5's and say it's anywhere below a Freestyle is laughable
