"I purchased the Tippmann Omega-PV Electropneumatic rifle with the C02 fitted stock rather than 13ci tank. The rifle out of the box is stunning, feels SOLID with the exception of the wobbly stock and over all has a decent light weight metal body. The midcap that it comes with fit snug on my rifle, though I've read on other comments that theirs is loose. The mag does drop free however, despite the firm feel of the magwell. The total FPS out of the box was insane! It was around 385 fps the first few shots with two new cartridges of C02. The rifle can hit surprisingly far too, especially when using .25 bbs. Over all, I have no complaints whatsoever. The 24 rounds a second is also a plus; the ability to change your rate of fire with a few switches of the fire selector is pretty neat.
My only advice is to make sure you lubricate the rubber o-ring in the C02 canister before sealing it. The cap with the fill valve must be tightened first and then the bottom cap is tightened after. Over all, the gas efficiency is great! About 400 shots per fill!

"The earlier reviews seem to be the original version, I just bought one and it is the V2. What does this mean? It gives you a standard rotary style hop-up unit and the FPS adjustment is a lot less cumbersome (no need to remove the grip and it's only one bolt a the rear along with the front receiver bolt). It DOES in fact, come with the 13ci Tippmann tank.
The FPS adjuster is pretty sensitive. Out of the box it shot around 315-320 with .20 bbs. I took a big two turn swing and it was shooting 514-520 with .20 bbs. I finally got it tuned to just under 400 (America Milsim limits for rifleman class). Trigger pull is crisp and light. I changed my Auto to 10 rounds from the factory 25 rounds (it adjusts to 10, 15 or 25). This is done with trigger pulls and the safety switch.
I had the tank filled and was able to go through about 7 mid cap (120 round) mags. FPS tailed off down to around 340 towards the end of the tank. I use the Tippmann mag as well as a G&P and a no name half height mid cap mag. All of them fed well with no fit issues.
I was a little worried about this gun, it's my first venture into HPA, but I am very happy so far. It will get a big test in a couple of weeks at an American Milsim event (where I'll be running with 3 tanks).
Build quality is solid and I really like the looks for the rail they chose.

"This review is specific to the carbine length, 2x12G CO2 powered MLOK rail system Tippmann OEMGA-PV rifle, although many models are likely to share my observations and opinions.
TL;DR: 500$ is a lot for bare bones furniture and ergonomics that house imperfect performance easily attainable with budget-plus AEGs with a programmable MOSFET.
Medium review:
The CO2 canister tip will stick in the open position, so either buy a second one or invest time gently teasing the tip all the way out. The accuracy is questionable, with the occasional flyer veering off with both a standard inner barrel and a G&P 6.05mm inner barrel. Everything else is barely okay performance for a 500$ airsoft gun. You can do way better for strict performance-based results.
The long review:
The overall build quality for the exterior is very nice, although single handed controls for the safety and magazine release are disappointments for the price point. The included magazine: never used it. The ability to adjust the gas output is awesome especially since adjusting the gas is easy enough in ready areas. Adjusting the gas output is not so easy in the field that a regulator / lock / tape / pinky-promise is required to prevent adjustments during skirmish matches. The proprietary buffer tube and stock are not the worst; while basic, the buffer tube and stock are solid and functional enough.
The interior build is strange, specifically the hop-up and barrel. The inner barrel is 345mm in length, and the hop-up chamber has a bucking patch built into the plastic housing. Using .25g bbs with the gas regulated to 1joule, the OMEGA-PV still hops even with the hop-up set to zero. The good news, is that AEG rotary hop-up units and inner barrels are compatible with the OMEGA-PV. Standard M4 / AR15 furniture is acceptable for anything that is not the buffer tube (to include the castle nut), stock, or pistol grip (unless you can source a similarly hollow grip for the 9volt battery). A small gripe of mine is that the bolt release paddle floats against the upper receiver without a spring of its own. The takedown pins have hex screws on one end, and if you have to lose a hex screw for one of your takedown pins let it be the forward pin. The upper and lower receivers separate in a horizontal sliding motion, and factory tolerances will provide enough tension to hold the front takedown pin securely. The rear takedown pin is purely for the benefit of the HPA engine.
I am not a HPA wizard: the HPA engine works well and that's all I care to know about it, although based on the rest of this replica I confidently assess that there are more efficient HPA engines on the market.
The CO2 cartridge has endurance for roughly 220 semi-auto shots, using .25g bbs firing at 1joule from both a 345mm and 330mm inner barrel with a firing cadence of 3-5 rapid semi-auto shots on average between 30 seconds. Naturally, like all other CO2 guns, increasingly rapid shots will reduce your overall endurance of the gas canister. The stock rate of fire is satisfactory, enabling a laser of fire if desired. Changing the CO2 cartridge is, with no risk of over stating, undoubtedly more bearable with a second CO2 cartridge. So much more so is swapping canisters over refilling a single canister a better option; this rifle should not be bought without at least one extra gas canister (making this a 550$ dollar airsoft gun now). When changing the CO2 canister, the tip that interfaces with the HPA engine will, 9 times out of 10, be stuck in the open position (double check this anyways, as even the slightest compression of the nozzle will dump your gas). To close the nozzle, gently pull the nozzle tip (with as much gentle wiggling as necessary) until the nozzle tip is fully extended from the CO2 canister. The new problem stems from managing extra CO2 canisters akin to MP5 magazines in terms of length. Be sure to not lose the rubber cap included with the CO2 canister as, other than storage in the rifle, your 50$ canister will be recklessly unprotected.
So, why spend 550$ (remember you need the second CO2 canister) on an overly complicated and, for its price point, poor performing basic M4?
* Evade HPA stigma
* Reload like a StarWars DC-15 blaster rifle (tabana gas was kept in canisters in the stock area, compared to the battery pack further up the rifle from the trigger)
* Instant trigger response without a MOSFET keeping your gearbox under tension
* Usable in any field without swapping gearbox springs or buying Tokyo Marui baffle-type FPS reducers
* Retain the option to use a traditional-style 13ci HPA tank (with a fixed stock)
* Having a mostly adjustable stock (fully collapsed is more of a position 2)
Can you spend your 550$ for less finicky and more effective options? ABSLOUTELY.
Do I regret my purchase? NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT.
P.S: don't forget to buy 9volt batteries, but one battery will last you a stupid amount of time.
4/5 only due to the inconsistency in the accuracy, which I suspect is the nature of using the CO2 instead of HPA.

"This gun was fun to use once I got it to work. Out of the box there was a few issues that were easy to fix, but were an annoyance. Use my Cons just as cautions, because this gun is absolutely fun to shoot, and is very reliable. Most everything that I found wrong, was just an annoyance, and can be fixed with DIY solutions.
Pros:
1) Magnetic trigger provides a light trigger assembly allowing for quick and rapid squeezes (can be a con for some, since there is no trigger reset).
2) Full metal construction (minus hop-up, which can be upgraded).
3) The 9V lasted multiple days, and is easy to replace.
4) Differing from other reviews, the FPS adjusted is very easy (there is a great YouTube video to explain). All you need to do is:
a)remove the back bolt separating the up and lower receiver
b)remove a bolt on the tank attachment to upper receiver
c)turn the gas restricter clockwise(slower fps) or counter-clockwise(faster fps)
5) Can be fitted with alternate butt-stocks to allow for CO2 or remote line.
6) Parts can be upgraded with most any parts from HPA or AEG M4 compatible weapons.
7) Light enough to let it hang and transition to a pistol.
8) ROF is very easy to adjust by rotating the selector switch in a certain pattern (there is a YouTube video for this).
Cons:
1) Broken out of the box. My gun had a bad air leak in the upper receiver, which I found was due to the O-Ring groove being too deep. I used some plumbers tape to decrease the spacing and put the O-ring back in.
2) The bar used to stabilize the butt-stock under the tank is a cheap plastic.
3) All M4 mags "wobble" when inserted. I tried 3 different brands, none of which solved this issue.
4) There is a small light in the trigger assembly that lets you know when the gun is on, and what ROF it is on. This light can be seen with night optics, and gives away your position in dark rooms.
5) The tank only allows for 3 to 4 mags. 500-600 rounds. It can be frustrating when your FPS suddenly drops, because the tank is empty in a fire-fight.
6) There is no ring for a sling, you must purchase one separately.

"Gun stopped firing on semi auto and works on full auto now and again. Tried to get Tippmann and Evike to help but unless your local guy has parts to fix seems out of luck on parts to fix or get these guys to fit it.

"I really wanted to love this gun but....
It comes with quite a bit of issues.
1. The picatinny rail on the receiver is smaller than the hand guard rail.
2. The hop up was a design flaw and starts with a lot of hop up to shooting into the sky while aiming forward hop up. You will need to get a new hop up and barrel to properly use the gun.
3. The magazine on this is bad. It is a double stack m4 mid cap... this means this will jam on you 90-100% of the time. You will need to get a new mag.
