Lowdown: Similar in many ways to the
SFL, Worr Game Products’ STO doesn’t quite live up to its Fonzarellian contemporary. Same body, different guts. Still, the STO performed almost flawlessly.
Goods: Basically, it’s an SFL without the “S,” the “F,” or the “L.” It’s a stock gun just as the good Lord made ’er, with a less sophisticated airflow system and less buttery firing action than the
SFL. But she graded way above average in range, consistency, and accuracy. No bells, no whistles, but no stems and no seeds, either. The best stock package for an
Autococker.
Knocks: If you can get past the fact that it draws its aesthetic from an early-’90s Oakley pullover, throw on your Cavaricci’s and hit the fields, Slater!
Geek Factor: This gun’s more approachable than the
SFL, E-Mag, or Angel, making it so-o-o-o-o-o cute to the pompous paintball nerd. But for $800, it ain’t exactly “My First Paintball Gun,” either.
Overall: The Jan Brady of our torture test. There was nothing wrong with the
STO, but it’s no SFL, and there’s just no substitute for a custom gun. If you plan on going Rambo in this game, and demand the best, step up to the
SFL. But if you wanna save the $450 and are prepared to baby a “cocker,” this may be the gun for you.
