I was just in your position. I have always been a mag fanatic. I have been here and have seen it all. I love them, and I have always had one or 2 in my colllection. I just recently downsized from 10 markers in my personal collection to 3 now (not including the guns I am selling). I have my PTP Unibody Micromag, My custom Sheridan SB, and my 06' Eclipse Ego. Let me tell you. I have heard this hipe going around about Ego's at my field. I picked one up and will never put it down. I had it sent away and annoed Dust Gold and it has an Aurora CCU kit on it and I shoot a UL back with Stiff tip. I have never had a marker custom annoed in the 12 years I have been playing and the 100+ guns I have owned I liked it that much. It is amazing, just right for me. It is very air efficient, easy to clean, reliable, and the Aurora against the dust gold blings in peoples faces and is very unique. So, take it from a guy who owns a store and has had every gun imaginable. I really like the Ego and I would consider it highly. Vikings and Excals are nice though, bulky but they shoot nice. I would say Ego or AKA. Macdev makes good stuff but I have heard some beating around the bush about them and another company, *cough* and I just don't think there quality is as high as it used to be. I would love to tell you to go with an Emag but just had one in my hand and I would have to say I like my Ego a bit more just beacuse of weight and simpleness. Thanks and good luck, hope you find the right piece for you.

Way to work on that post count. :rofl:Comment

You basically just described a dm/pm marker. I don't know why it matters so much to you that it's not a series? It actually works to your advantage, because you can get used markers that are only a few years old for ridiculously low prices. Especially if you wait until after world cup. Anyway, they're awesome. I have a pm5 as a backup.Comment

Maybe, but he described air efficency as a consern, which spool valve markers are not really all that efficent. He also wants something somewhat unique...I can't throw an agglet without hitting 7 matrixes and 8 egos....and I can't throw agglets very far....yet.Originally posted by pmstc
Where are matrixes are nice, as is almost every marker made in the last 4 years, they are really not fitting his discription. I've used a matrix before and I really didn't think it was all that fantastic, it didn't live up to all the hype around it, still a great marker but didn't have what I was looking for.
If you really want unique e-blazer, or an e-cockers (now) are rare to see on fields and efficency is good. Poppit valve electros might also be good for you gen3 or gen4 intimidators arn't that common anymore, are efficent, and last a while. 06 or 07 cyborgs are also nice poppit valve markers, and I've only ever seen one on a field...and they have a solid rep as far as I know.Comment

I say go for the Viking and then save up for the milling.Comment

or go with an already fairly light gun, that shoots insanely fast and is right up there with a viking in consistency and air consumption. a cyborg. 06 are amazing, 07 is lighter and still amazing. both phenomenal gunsOriginally posted by Elementalt33kyboy "So if a cat is dropped from 11 inches, it will most likely die."Comment

Im looking to 'settle down' with a nice pump for regular play so I can hone my skills, have fun, play for cheap, and so forth. I am also planning on picking up an easy electro, like an 06 Etek or something relatively cheap and using that when I need that kind of thing. So that would be my suggestion, get two different types of guns for different times. Maybe its just that I could never go back to just one.Comment

Viking just about meets every criteria you've listed (a borg does too but I think the Viking wins out on character). Talk to me if you want one I might be forced to let one go here soon

Im not knocking them, they do shoot really nice. But there isnt a marker out there that can best a Vike for an "only one gun" guy. And Id place the mech/pneumag right under it.

For a little history, look up the AKA Evil-M... It's no coincidence that Cyborgs used Merlin Extrusions for a long time.
I'd expect they'll both last just as long as each other. The Vikings and Borgs run so well because they use cartridge components.
The Borg is widely considered a "Stacked Tube Viking".
There is very little wear imparted on the actual guns themselves. Any problems and simply pop in a new cartridge.
