Valken Blackhawk MFG
SPOTLIGHT
Whether they’re playing it
because it helps keep paint
prices down, because they love
the challenge or because they
love the tactical mil-sim look
and feel of the gear, players
are flocking to magazine fed
paintball and the paintball
industry is rushing to cater to
their wants and needs. One
of the latest companies to
throw their hat into the mag-fed ring is Valken, already a favorite in the field thanks to their
various available camouflage soft goods and other products. Their latest tactical offering is
a new magazine-fed version of their Blackhawk mechanical marker, offering a solid starting
point for players looking to enter the world of magazine-fed play that checks off most of the
desired boxes at an impressive price. A semi-automatic marker with a full picatinny-style top
rail for sights and scopes, but which is standard with iron sights, Blackhawk MFG can handle
either regular .68 caliber paintballs or First-Strike rounds, offers a standard air-through stock
out the back of the receiver with a 13 cubic inch air bottle included, and is standard with a
quad-rail wrapped around a ported barrel with a muzzle brake. A complete package at an
impressive price, players looking to operate in the mag-fed word would do well to take a
good look at Valken’s Blackhawk MFG! www.ValkenPaintball.com
