      Nope, Egos just have a problem with the frame being too thin and bending (or breaking). Seen it happen a few times.

        No, that's what happens when you treat your $1600 marker like a plush toy.

          No, that's what happens when you waste money on a $1600 marker and expect to play with it when it's lighter than helium. Honestly, these and dye markers are the only ones i've ever heard of this happening to.

            Then how do you account for the thousands of players that this doesn't happen to?
            I have an ego and I'm pretty sure this hasn't happened to me.
            Let me go double check.



            Yep, the frame still hasn't bent.

              i think i fell on it, it takes alot of force but there is a good amount of markers that can withstand the force and those that cant.

              it probly took alot less force than you think to bend it liek that.

              ive seen half a dozen bent shocker frames as well.

              though i like the lady in the video"you think they can fix it"

                  my teammate has bent an invert mini in half doing a superman dive...it bent right in half between the trigger frame and the battery pack. He is only 120lbs soaking wet too..

                    not likely with a stock mag frame though perhaps with one of the aftermarket frames being milled to be super light.

                      I'd be honored if I played so hard that I bent my marker.

                        Ok, let me correct myself, if you expect to try to act like a pro and dive without thinking about your asa. Still, there are plenty of guns that you could do the same thing he did and nothing like this would happen.

                          You guys may give PE crap but hey, they have replaced every bent frame for free of charge.

                            Truthfully they're just catering to the market, i mean yeah from what i've heard they have great service and are a great company. The only thing i don't really like about them is their new markers are never really new (although they're definitely not the first to do this, so it's not that big of an issue), they're overhyped normally (egos i mean), and they're really just a glorified spyder for the most part. I never saw what was so great about them, there are other markers that are much better.

                              Much better? You must be kidding right? High end electro's over $400 are all within inches of each other preformance wise. Its totally personal preference. Ive owned and or shot them all and it comes down to feel from the Mini on up to the high dollar Ego's and DM's. Some may be marginally better than others at certain things but it comes down to the fact that they all shoot fast enough to max a loader consistantly, accuratly, all while weighing less than 2lbs.
