The Kingman EM1... is Kingman's top of the range paintball gun. It is an electronic marker, hence the fact that it is more expensive than the other Kingman markers. It is one of the cheapest electro-markers on the market, roughly a third the price of an Angel. How does it perform though?

The Kingman EM1 is a pretty cheap gun as electro-markers go.... but for the average player it is probably still too expensive ($429.77). But the thing that you will notice first is the rate of fire... at up to 20 shots per second, they don't come any faster! The full auto feature won't help you too much in proper tournaments though... so the question will be asked whether it is worth paying so much for all these features.


That is a difficult question to answer... there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Kingman EM1, except the fact that it is $429.77. It shoots fast and accurately, is very quite, and is solidly built. No real need for any upgrades, it performs well right out of the box. Very similar in performance to the Bushmaster. Please note: the Kingman EM1 is NOT to be used with normal CO2.



If you are looking for a quality, high-performance electro-marker without having to sell your house, then the Kingman EM1 is worth looking at. However, if you are not into serious tournaments, don't bother... the extra money for this gun is better spent buying paintballs.


Conclusion: A solid, high-performance, very fast electro-marker, the Kingman EM1 is for serious players who aren't on a tight budget. Having said that, it is the cheapest electro-marker around: about a third of the price of an Angel. A real bargain!
