What's yours? Now we all know you love mags, so if your favorite is a mag, what's your net fav/backup? Is it technicaly differen't? Pretty colors or lights?
My all time favorite is the DM series, the Proto in particular. Pictures of them look ugly, but in person they are just nice! My next favorite is the SFT Shocker. I really like the Hybrid Shocker.
For pumps, I love the old marker from Gotcha'(I think that's who made it), the Deuce, a double barrel pump gun.

I like Sharpies. They are great markers, and the silver ones are great for labeling computer parts and what not.

At the moment my favorite marker is my CCM SS-25. It's light, has a classic cocker look to it and it's fast. yes it's a fast pump. The action is so smooth and short, that i can easily autotrigger around 7-8 bps. this smooth action also allows a decent ball grouping while using the autotrigger. My Phantom has been shelved.

While I really like my RTPro it is not my primary marker any more. I like my PPS Stroker better at this point. It suits my playing style and isn’t like every other marker on the field.

I close my eyes and randomly pick one of these to use. I love all my Mags.(but my favorite is probably the black to silver fade) As for pump, I use a CCM Series 5. I have an Alien on the way I am going to try out. I like trying other guns too.

Its not fair, you have so many xmags and I cant even get an emag. :cry:

My main markers are my dragun-mag, RPG RT Pro, Stock Class Mag (getting the rail milled now! :dance: )

my back up markers is my electro spyder, mech spyder, and PT Extreme. :)

As for my second favorite marker other then a mag, I really am not sure. I really want to get my hands on a freestyle to give it a try, though. :D

I really dont knwo i Love my new mag but i think my all time favortie marker is STILL my tippmann pro/carbine.

Its just a gun i can play with no tuning no modifying no anyhing. Simply hook up some air sorce through in some paint and have fun. I aint afraind to abuse it and seem to play mey best with it even though its lacking in sooo many areas (Weight, Size, Speed etc.). With all my other markers Its just simply put works ALWAYS and always works well.

Emag, Xmag, Hypermag(Morlock) and Angel 05 Speed.
My primary is the Hypermag, its superfast and I also would not get as upset if I scratched it as opposed to scratching the others (I would probably cry).

I like my 06 proto.

I also loved my viking, and my karta emag.

favorite that I own is the proto though.

and no offense cause they are all nice, but why would you want that many of the same marker. Why not have a couple xmags, and then something different? thats just me. I like different flavors. Its not like all the xmags shoot any different. Nice collection though.

My favorite markers are Intimidators. I fancy all of them, even Classics (though I wouldn't go back to one, and I think the ECX is bum-ugly).

Second favorite...um....merr...I like Impulses when they work. Angels with space frames are nice. I like my Pro-Lite, though it's not good for anything speedball related. My PGP is cool, though it breaks paint and efficiency sucks. I think I should just stick with Intimidators :ninja:

Second favorite is my 'Mag. Bought her used but in great shape about a year ago. I wish now I had bought a 'Mag long ago--I didn't know what I was missing!

RT-Pro ULE Custom; X-Mag XT261; X-Mag VV3877; Phantom; PGP

I like the ULE RT-Pro more than the X-Mags, because it's more versitile and I'm less likely to overshoot on the recball field and in the woods. But when you're plaing scenario or something else that requires a ton of paint, the X is the best. I need to get that 3877 up to 3.2 though...

My two DM4's (Olive and Brown) are the best shooting guns I've ever owned and I've had practically everything.

I also recently owned an A4 Fly and it too was a great shooting gun, though, I couldn't get used to the 90* frame and stiff opti-board switch.

Well, I'm not a huge fan of electros, and I'm sorry to say the 'mag isn't my #1 fav. (it's a close second though).

#1 - 68Super

OMFG is it amazing! It's like a pneumag but better! So fast! NO kick! absolutely astonishing! I used one for a few games from a guy I played with once. It's sooo great!


#2 - Dallara 'Mag with ULE (or pneu-trig)

These are great. I plan on building one after I get a 68Super. Blue on black, it'll be sweet.


#3 - PGP (old school pimped)

So far it's just a PGP with an L-stock and mahogany grips, but I plan on putting on an EZ-Pull bolt, velocity adjuster, CO2 adapter with SS line leading to a remote asa and a 9oz hose clamped to the L-stock, epoxy-n site rial with dot sight, copper 20 ball tube extender thingy, and finally, a barrel extension!


#4 - My Top General Spyder clone

It looks like an old back bottle VM-68. I can't find anything about the company, but it works great! Better than any Spyder or Tippmann I've ever used!

#1: VM-68

#2: X-Valved, Exile bodied, Sub-Zero feednecked, Dallara railed, Intelliframed Mag. However, since my VM-68 is in pieces in a box, this is my current #1.

Favorite, as in, I don't necessarily have to own it?

Pumps:
Shatner Illusion, hands down. A kick-butt looking stock class illusion? I'd be all over that. Unfortunately, I don't think I could ever let myself take one onto the field...

VSC Phantom is up there for me. Yes, they're somewhat common and no, they're not particularly "special" in any way, but I absolutely love the way they just do their job well. I swear I could play blindfolded and the Phantom would still make incredible shots. It's a pleasant surprise every time I pull the trigger.

Coming in a close third, IMO, is the Buzzard. Another fantastic shooter that really needs no explaination. In the end, though, I'll go with the lighter weight and higher versatility of the Phantom.


For semis:
I'm going with my X-Mag. Manual override is the ONLY reason I would own an electro (even though I've never had to use it). The trigger isn't the best in the world, but it's far from "bad". Never chops (really, never) and is just a smooth, smooth shooter. It could do better on air efficiency, but then again, I have more shots in my 68/45 tank than I carry in my pack so it's really moot.

I also own a CCM J2 semi/pump which is as good a mechanical 'cocker as I've ever seen. I'm not crazy about the valve in it, but the rest of it is solid. The cup seal needs replacing anyhow, so I'm considering just changing out the entire valve.

Third place for semis might surprise some of you, but I have to go with the Tippmann A5. Honestly, for the price you can't match the reliability, ease of use and performance. I don't own one and probably never will, but I do enjoy everything about the design. What makes it a 'favorite' to me is that anyone in the world can just pick it up and have a great time with it.

Chrishew09
11-23-2005, 12:11 PM
My primary is a E-mag but my back-up, and dont laugh, is a Tippman 68Carbine. :p
I love that old Tippy, no matter how bad I treat it, it always works!!
I installed a double trigger and I can get it goin pretty good.


One time I got real mad and through it across a gravel road remove the barrel and started beating the gun with the barrel, to this day I am still using the same SS Dye barrel and Tippy, those markers are real troopers. :clap:
