Though it has flaws, the Diablo Wrath is a great paintball marker in my opinion. The tightness and small length and size are great benefactors, and they make it look great. For a fairly inexpensive electro marker, I surely got what I paid for. With its milling, or lack there of, there is a nice look of two or three markers that have “melded†together, and it has nice polished finishing. The good outweighs the bad on these Diablo markers. The Wrath arrives in a box, packaged in its own foam cutout, and is safely packaged with tools, a micro PC jumper, and all of the tools needed for general care of the marker. It comes stock with a clamping Feedneck, a nice, accurate, clean-looking stock barrel, and a clone Bob Long Torpedo regulator with a gauge on it. The board only comes with only full auto and semi-auto, and a tournament lock, capped at 20 balls per second. There are many cons about this board, though. The trigger switch is very sensitive, but the stock board is not adjustable at all in the sense of eye delay, dwell, or debounce. Trigger checks are also very low, so an average person can only reach about ten or eleven balls per second. You must also get some upgrades to make the Wrath work well. There are boards, Delrin and Teflon bolts (the stock bolt is aluminum), a new, more comfortable trigger, a new ASA and personally I like a macroline setup, and a barrel kit. As soon as grips come out, get them too, because the stock grips are very uncomfortable.
When the Wrath is opened, there is a very bad and vague manual inside it. It has almost no helpful topics at all, and has almost no troubleshooting help at all. In the manual it says the marker can run on straight co2, but this is not advised. CO2 will crack hoses, and eventually cause problems in the marker. I have heard of the occasional Wrath or Wrath clone breaking down, but they have some of the best customer service in the paintball industry. All you have to do is send the marker to National Paintball Supply, or NPS, and they will fix it as soon as possible to get it back in your hands. I personally love the Wrath. It seems to run very consistently, shoot fast, feel comfortable, and it has its own design, FASOR, or Forward Air Spring Operated Return. Overall I think this marker is a great investment, and it can compete with almost any other marker out there, high end or low end. With the price of these beauties and the style, there is no reason why somebody shouldn’t buy one. The great customer service and warranty, the awesome optional upgrades, and the Wrath’s design all make it ideal for an experienced paintballer, and the price tag is great for occasional recreational paintballers.
