    what material do want your gun and accessories

    To be made of ? I.E.

    Lite wieght?

    Durabiity?

    Ease of final finish... I.E. annodizing, paint etc. ?



    Peace and luck,Fog

    Whatever is durable and still relatively light. I'm a fan of plastic composites as well as metal.

      Solid gold would be nice... How about making a marker out of annealed steel? That'd look sweet, though it would probably dirty up everything you touched with it unless you polished it real good.

      Seriously, though, probably aluminum. Light, durable (if it's not that poop SP uses), and takes ano. What more could you want? Maybe make the whole thing out of carbon fiber. DeadlyWind is probably working on it, they've got a CF fetish.

          my priorities are as follows

          -ability to have and hold tolerance
          -durability (kinda the same as the first)
          -weight
          -looks

          if something looks good but cant hold up at all you might as well just put on a tux and throw paint if your worried that much about looks

          AL is probably the best thing that we can really use at this point, some plastics might end up being better but we need to find those plastics, ceramics (if made the right way) might work well too but they would be expensive as anything. CF is getting more and more expensive and its really not that easy to work compared to AL, also the tolerances will be held by the resin more so than the CF itself.

          it would be easier and more efficient to develop smaller marker designs than to try to replace parts with a crazy new material (not that it wouldnt be cool and anything but im just talking about efficiency).

          what ideas are you having???

                ALUM seems to be the way to go.

                        Titanium mainbody.

                        Barrel? Brass internal surface, CF core, titanium sleeve.

                        aluminum for the rest.

                          i think Aluminum fits all the bills here, unles an excesively durable component is needed.

                          alum is light, and can be milled lighter

                          very stong strength to weight ratio

                          durable

                          high grade alum looks great annod.

                          not to mention easy to work with, readily available and decently priced.
