A single or double-action semi-automatic
paintball pistol, the G.I. Sportz Menace
feeds both .50 caliber paintballs and the
CO2 that powers them from a magazine
inserted into the grip frame. Constructed
from durable polymer and featuring a
seven-round magazine, the pistol delivers
impressive accuracy out to around ten
yards depending on the quality of the
paintballs used and is factory-set to
velocity under 300 feet per second. Sights
atop the marker’s non-reciprocating slide
are rudimentary but serviceable with a rear
notch and a blade front, and the marker’s
hammer can be cocked manually to fire
the gun single-action, providing a shorter
trigger pull. During shooting no paintballs
were broken in the Menace and the marker
attracted a great deal of attention both
from tactical and recreational players who
loved its looks, light weight and the fun of
shooting it.
The fun of the G.I. Sportz Menace pistol is
that it’s small, light and simple. No hoppers
to change batteries in push buttons on and
fill up, no big air tank to go wait in an air line
to go fill. Simply load the magazine with a
handful of .50 caliber paintballs, slip a 12
gram cartridge into the magazine, lock,
load and start blasting. While the intended
use of the marker as stated by G.I. is as a
holstered backup marker, we found the
Menace to be at its most fun when used in
a group of players who all carried Menace
pistols. Before you know it, everyone
running around shooting at one-another is
giggling and having a great time, and that’s
what paintball is all about..
