Can some people that have bought markers around the $200 range give some positive and negative suggestions about the marker. My friend cant decide on which gun to buy. :D

Thanks

I had a pmi 2k3 E-froce ext pro for about 6 months. Used it as a loaner and for scenario games that allowed FA. Not a bad marker for a blow back. Light trigger, decent battery life. Burst modes and Full auto. Ball pinching bolt, worked on HPA or CO2.

Only con of it was the vertical feed necks on the <2000 serial number markers were milled to thin and would snap off. Had that happen twice on me, other than that it was a pretty decent marker while I had it.

you can probley find a decent mag for 200, which you can upgrade to be really awesome. or if he does not want to upgrade much, doesnt want to get nitro, but wants a rock solid marker. go tipmann m98. hands down one of the most reliable marker ever.

Fokus, Pirahna, Custom 98, or Spyder. Simple as that.

I second the 98 custom
best beginner gun ever. And then you can upgrade the heck out of them
