Design:
The Alpha Black is designed to resemble an M-16 with a 45 degree pistol grip, front magazine (which holds a basic tool kit) and a top-mounted carry handle. It has an inline, blowback design which is reminiscent of the Tippmann 98, which seems right since Tippmann designed and builds the Alpha Black. The marker comes with a quick release feed tube to allow for quick cleaning of the chamber and comes with a stock 11" barrel. The entire marker is very solidly built but is heavier than most other markers.
Performance and Reliability
The Alpha Black is a very simple marker and internally resembles the proven Tippmann 98 with a very straightforward inline bolt. While this design has a limited rate of fire, it is also very reliable and it will easily fire as fast as you can pull the trigger. The marker has above average accuracy and will fire on either CO2 or compressed air. The marker doesn't have an anti-chop system but it does an excellent job of not breaking paint in the chamber or the barrel.

Design:
The SP-1 is Smart Parts' entry-level electronic marker aimed at the woodsball/scenario player. Its composite body construction feels solid and durable and it comes with tactical rails for mounting accessories and has an included clamping feedneck. It comes with a standard 45 grip, single trigger and a front regulator to accommodate its 180psi operating pressure. The stock SP-1 weighs in at just under 2.5 pounds and has a solid, comfortable feel in your hands. While it lacks anti-chop eyes, it does have a low-force bolt which does a good job at eliminating chops.
Performance and Reliability
The SP-1 is one of the cheapest electronic paintball markers available, but shooting it does not feel cheap at all. It's much quieter than a comparably priced mechanical marker and it does have a decent rate of fire at 11bps, though that can be improved with an upgraded circuit board. The SP-1 is fairly accurate and is rugged enough to survive some contact with trees and rocks out in the woods.
