Choices:
Palmer's Blazer w/
vert feed
nickel highlights
barrel nickel plated
Benchmark 2x trigger frame, nickel
Dye sticky grips
barrel spiral ported and matched to marker
vertical male stabilizer w/ bottomline
CP flame drop foward
AGD Warp feed
PPS Delrin bolt

Smart Parts non vision Impulse, color (haven't decided yet)
ND Delrin bolt
ND Brass hammer
SP Tape Werm
ND Blade trigger or IPB stick trigger
Dye sticky grips
ND Slik shot ram shaft
Smart Parts Freak Factory Titanium pull pin
ND hammer cap
Full 10" FREAK kit, aluminum back, matching freak front
Twister Low rise feed tube
AGD Warp feed
NW d/f w/ on/off
vert Maxflo

Please help me decide. I love both. Low pressure doen'st really concern me, because the Blazer is efficient and a lot less sensitive to barrel/paint match and other conditions. Of course, the Freak makes up for that on the Imp, but it looks like it's going to be a lot more expensive. Running N2 is not a problem, but if I had to go with CO2, the Blazer can even run off a syphon tank with no problem. Help me decide! Thanks.

Oh yeah and I have a mag on the way so don't say "get a mag"
:D Of course when it gets here I might not want another marker, but anyway for the time being I'm trying to sell off some stuff and downsize and upgrade my "arsenal"

Heh, screw the impy, we both know Palmer is better.
I would suggest replacing some of those things on the blazer list with maybe a pro touch job by palmer or something of the like.. thats supposed to be good..

may i suggest a 3rd canididate? The Viking =). Seriously, why would you want an Impulse? Vikings are crazily air efficient. you can get nearly 2000 shots off of a 68ci tank. They are very concistant as well due to the Sidewinder reg that comes with it stock. AKA also has excellent costomer support.

If you are getting the Blazer and a Warp feed, you might want to think about forgoing the Vert feed and go with a Left feed body. Also, although the protouch trigger job is nice, it's not as needed on the Banchmark 45 frame, also, as you use the gun the trigger will get lighter.

One thing I can say, the performance of the Blazer will be real close to my Typhocker. So you can base your judgement off that.

As for the Impy, I'm not a big fan of them, but that's just me.

Out of the choices, Blazer.
I would go for a used emag, a new viking, a new Rt-pro, a2003 bushy, or a nice cocker like the Genx.
Goodluck.

elpimpo is new. Ignore him.

Me is not new. Listen to me.

Get an E-mag. I just got an all black WL on ebay for $700. There are good deals to be found.

Oh, and you're trying to downsize by upgrading your arsenal? Hmmmm....ok. :confused: :D

get my Blue silver cocker. PM me. Anyways, forego the imp, they are worthless unless they are a strange Vision. Go with a decent electro, there is no need for a warp on a blazer anyways. Get a 2003 Bushy or emag, or angel.

shut up im not new, an angel is the best gun out there if your going to spend all that cash might as well get an angel in stead of buying something than selling it to get an angel just do it in the first place

Definately go with the Blazer.

And might I suggest that when you contact Palmers to order one, ask if you can have the trigger modded so that it can be set up to intellifeed. That might be possible, although I'm not sure.

That in itself proves to me that you're new. So, I'm going to be nice and not give you a good berating which you deserve. However, I will appologize if you or anyone else took for that matter took my

remark as offensive. The people that know me around here, know that I like to cut up and have a good time, and mean no harm to anyone.

Umm, I don't recall mentioning an Angel or a cocker as an option, in fact I just traded my cocker for a mag.



Muzikman, I think your Typhocker has convinced me to get a Blazer, although an Impulse would still be nice :D I don't see why everyone is so anti-Smart Parts though, every time I've called them they've been very helpful and friendly. Left feed would save money, but I don't know if I would be running the warp all the time and a vert feed setup is nicer if you're using a "blimp":)

As for "downsizing and upgrading" I meant I'm selling/trading the cheaper stuff like my Sl-68 II, stingray, P68-At and keeping the good stuff like my mag, Phantom, and getting one more marker to suit my playing style.

Anyway, thanks for the help guys, I'll shut up about gun questions and go get a Blazer ;)

Well, the Viking does seem to be a worthy competitor. It's the open bolt one though, right?

vikings are open bolt i think, it doesnt really matter tho.

pbguy888
11-30-2002, 05:52 PM
yes open bolt. the Excalaber is the closed bolt one.

might i recommend a rat impulse with vision? its basically everything you want with crazy cool milling (im ordering one tomorrow!!!!! we can be buy buddies or some crap like that :D )

Dont listen to them! lol
I was about to buy a blazer but I realised how much I loved my mag so I dropped the idea of selling it.
Of corse, now I'm selling it for an e-mag, but thats a whole diffrent thing.. :p
Again, if I had the choice (after firing that Typhocker :eek: ) It would be blazer all the way!

11-30-2002, 08:40 PM
Well, it seems another choice has presented itself:p
Angel LCD,Bronze
10 Boomstick and 14 inch stock barrel
Nitro Duck 88/45 tuff skin
12 v revvy
950 bucks!!!!
Oh yeah it's a 2k1 w/ 44,000 shots on it, played with it today and bunkered like crazy :D
He'll let me pay it off in installments, I can use it every time at the field until then, and after it's half paid off I can take it home!! Of course I could get an emag for this but I'd have to wait a year and not play. Which isn't an option. I dont know, this is very tempting :D

well if you like the angel then go for it, it would suck to order a gun and not like it at all.

I would seriously consider the Viking. You can get a new one for that price and seriously outperforms those other markers. I know, I own one.
