So I was just playing with mine and comparing it to the Meteor.

They sell new/retail for the same price ($10).

The Meteor is lighter, has a much more comfortable grip (something about the Sentry X2 just wants to mash the webbing between my thumb&trigger finger). The only thing I like less about the Meteor is fumbling with the follower&catch to reload it.

But there's the rub: the Sentry X2 is a snap to reload because it just uses GRAVITY to feed the balls. This is super convenient, but not very reliable... and makes the orientation of the blaster during the priming cycle CRITICAL.

...

Yo Elliottw, how do you hold your Sentry X2 when you prime it? Sideways like a gangsta? Pointed at the sky like an overdramatic TV cop? Upside-down like Jean Reno getting ready to kill a whole SWAT team?

My 100% success rate may be due to pointing it slightly downward & forward while priming, since I'm just shooting at an open duffel bag so I don't have to chase my damn balls all over the house.

Naked.
