  • The Kaos3 is a modern rendition of Azodin's signature Kaos Series. It is more sleek and ergonomic in comparison to its predecessor and maintains the durability and simplicity users have come to expect. Its receiver has been streamlined making it lighter and thus offers better acuity when sighting potential targets.
  • Warrior's Deluxe 4+1 paintball harness is designed to be worn around your waist or attached to a vest. It carries 4 pods horizontally with velcro straps as well as one CO2 or HPA tank vertically to run a remote line to for a lighter marker setup. Its velcro straps guarantee security and allows you to hold any tank directly in its place. Being fully adjustable with a buckle style belt system, it is made to fit all players.
  • Dye's Alpha Pods hold 150 rounds of .68 caliber paintballs. Paintballs can be seen through the translucent pod once filled. These are designed with an ergonomic feel for superior grip, form, and function when needed. Alpha pods are made of a strong plastic from the top to bottom, allowing them to handle the most rugged of terrains. The lid also has two smooth cuts making it easier to open and fill quickly. These pods can be used in any paintball harness that holds any type of pods. These pods ar
  • Empire’s X-Ray mask is a great goggle that provides the protection and comfort you need for all levels of paintball players. Dual density goggle foam provides exceptional comfort for all day wear. A visor provides shade and protection for your eyes and can be removed quickly and easily if needed. The X-Ray comes standard with a single pane anti-fog lens that prevents fogging in almost all conditions. A chin strap is also included to comply with tournament rules.
  • The Empire 20oz CO2 bottle holds 20 ounces of CO2 and is constructed of aluminum. These bottles are reusable and can be filled as many times as needed. Empires 20oz tank uses a pin valve system and standard tank threads. On an average paintball marker, a 20-ounce tank will give you approximately 800 - 1000 shots per fill. CO2 tanks have a 10-year life span and must be hydrotested every 5 years. These tanks will have a date stamped on it to signify when it was manufactured. All CO2 tanks are empt

When it comes to getting your first paintball gun, there is one thing you should be looking for, reliability. Nothing worse than going to the paintball field for the first time and having gun problems, you don’t know how to troubleshoot stuff quickly on the field nor do you want to. This is where the Kaos II comes in, the Kaos II just works, put a tank and hopper on and play paintball.

The Kaos II pop-valve design is very simple and requires very few moving parts and seals. There is one moving o-ring in the Kaos and only 6 in total. The single moving o-ring and the 6 total o-rings make the Kaos II less prone to springing leaks or having firing issues.

If you do have problems with the Kaos II, it is very easy to disassemble and replace o-rings or clean. The Kaos can be taken apart and fully broken down in less than 5 minutes. Included in the box is a set of spare o-rings and tools.

The major drawback to the sub $100 paintball guns, is they are high pressure and the Kaos II is no exception. The Kaos II runs off tank pressure, which means that it runs at whatever the pressure is coming out of your Co2 or compressed air tank (750 PSI). Since the Kaos II runs at such high pressure it is pretty loud, kicks a lot and is pretty hard on paintballs.

Having a loud paintball gun that kicks a lot isn’t the best thing, but it is a trade-off with the price. If you would like something a bit more quiet and less kicky to take a look at the Proto Rize. The Rize is an excellent mid-range shooter.

The Azodin Kaos II biggest competition comes from Tippmann in the way of the Cronus and 98 Custom. Tippmann’s just like the Kaos is super reliable but not nearly as easy to repair or service.

The Tippmanns while similar in reliability to the Kaos II they are much more difficult to disassemble and repair. The Tippmann paintball guns have many more screws and small parts making disassembly take longer, the added parts can also make repairs a bit more time consuming and difficult. The Tippmann 98 Custom and Cronus, however, are bit bigger and weightier, that added weight helps reduce some of the recoils and also helps dampen the sound of firing.

Overall the Kaos II is an excellent paintball gun for the new player looking for something that is simple, reliable, lightweight and affordable.

We loved the original Kaos and we love the Kaos II.
