 My friends field, NEW ENGLAND PAINTBALL, has Piranahs for fild rentals. I had to field test them and maintain them. The one I tested was a bottomline setup with a 12 oz CO2 backbottle and a standard 200 rnd loader.
There were no fancy upgrades at all. I loaded up the field paint only paint(rp scherer)and gassed up,grabbed my gogs and joined a group of renters.
Our limit for the chrono was 280fps. I got put on the red team and the game was capture the flag,2 flag type.
I elected to run the left tape like I do in tournies.The field was large so there was no action on the break. I crept up the tape alone and crept up on a group of 3 players. They didn't see me. WOO HOO!
Igot behind a natural bunker and opened fire, the fire rate was good. I eliminated all 3, unfortunatly, 1 of them got a good shot on me too, mutual elimination! CRAP!
In between games I spent some time at the target range, the targets at 50 feet were hit with ease,the ones at 75 feet were fair. I could barely hit the ones at 100 feet, I think an aftermarket barrel would improve all this.
The marker survived 8 rough rec games that day, I broke one ball out of about 1,000. That may have been user error. All in all, a great gun for rec players.I've serviced a ton of field rentals, only for basic stuff like o-rings. If I were a new player looking for a cheap gun,I'd consider the pirahna. With all the accesories available,it's a good choice.
Watch out behind you ALWAYS WEAR PAINTBALL APPROVED GOGGLES
(and use a barrel plug too!) 
The Unique harness is great! I have the 6+1 in a camo pattern. It comfortably holds 140 round loaders, and a 114 ci tank.
I had no problems reaching anything or reclosing the velcro fasteners. If you're looking for a good harness, check out the Unique line. They have many differen't varieties available. 
A good, comfortable harness is a good addition.
