*sigh* Long have I advocated the use of mechanical over electro markers, and many a time have I stood up and fully slandered the very use of electricity in paintball saying "Batteries are for sissys who are to lazy to pull a REAL trigger". It just felt good walking onto the field with a calssic mag and hosing those newbs with their mommie's angels cowering behind their bunkers under my barrage of mechanical fury. But I've been markerless for a while now and just for kicks, the other day I went to my local pro shop to say hi to the owner and he had just finished putting together a BKO from repairs. He offered to let me test it and I said Alright.
I've read about ICD's guns alot and know they'd recieved nice reviews and high marks, but had never shot one until then, I fell in love. The trigger was so crisp, so clean, and the function was just plain, well, nifty. I was impressed also by the accuracy it delivered while still stock. And the rate of fire was, comfortable and easy to maintain speed. The best part about this gun is that it wasn't an Impulse. But the worst part about it was that now I wanted one, bad.
Which herein lies my problem. Soon I will have enough dough to get myself a new setup for this comming spring and I want it to last for awhile. While shopping around I find that BKO's and mags are very close in price when it comes to resale. And I will be able to afford one or the other. I know I have to upgrade the mag for it to perform up to standards in any arena, and that there are many upgrades for BKO's that make it even more awesome and that by the time I upgrade my BKO I'm going to want the 2k3 with PDS and that would cost as much as a nice RTPro.
But the fact remains that I feel like I just had an affair behing AGD's back, I feel like CRAP, but am seriously thinking of abandoning the route of the Mag. I love both of them so don't say that it's preference. I want you to vote on which I should get. But most of all i want you to tell me WHY you think your choice was the better one . Any responce at all is most apreciated.
