    What's your favorite non AGD/cocker marker?

    Just curious comrades :)

    99% of my markers are either mags or cockers. Besides those I have a Blazer that is amazing and a really nice swirl mill Viking. I have an upgraded Mini that's a fun little shooter and a Tippmann B5 conversion with every upgrade possible. I also have a couple of "Franken-Trracer" projects I will show off soon and a good condition ICD Puma I had to have since it was one of the first markers I ever played with.

    Soooooo....

    What's your fave markers outside the old mag/cocker legacy?

    I'm not a huge fan of buying "new guns". Most these days look almost exactly the same. I am partial to older Angels and actually had the Valken Proton catch my attention this week as it is supposed to be solid, reliable, a performer, and not quite as small a package as the Mini (and looks pretty decent too).

    So please don't post if your answer is "the latest DM, Ego, etc. out-of-box". Those may be good today, but will loose value drastically and the next generation may not be that much more better anyway.

    Just curious :)

    My favorite all time shooter that I've owned was my black/blue Bob Long Alias. That thing shot SOOOOOO well. I regret getting rid of it. Thankfully I was able to Craigslist a used one a year or two ago that I need to get tuned up, but will shoot just as well as my old one.

    My current go-to marker has been my Geo 3 with IV Core. It's just smooth and I love how it shoots.

      non agd gun...what blasphemy is this?

      i will say that the etek 5 shoots very nice compared to egos / older eteks. the geo 3.5 is also very nice (lighter, smoother, quieter than etek 5). anything is a distant second to my minimag. it's like asking me "which hand do you like best, other than your dominant hand?" lol...

        I like AKA vikings and excals, old school matrix's(shochtech,nyx toxic, etc.), But I've always had a mag of some sort as my preferred marker. Back in the day I ran Angel IR3's when i fist started to play speedball. before the pneumags and egomags.

          I've had great shooting AGD guns - but my Xmag wasn't one of them. That thing was haunted.

            Also...

            There was a period when I had three or more custom label Impulses...

            Aurora finished PE factory team Elcipse Impulse. Former owner a factory player and ALL parts for the Aurora were made for it. Outside of regular body set Aurora, the custom trigger frame, Fangs button covers, matching vert Max-Flo reg, drop, trigger, feed neck, and Boomstick tip were all PE Aurora pieces from the early 2000s probably?

            The others I had were all in great condition. A great SIC Imp with all the trimmings, a Gold dust Python...oh, and another SIC later on...

              If I'm not shooting a mag or a regular "sniper" pump, it is probably one of these two. A regulated 12g pistol or a modified ICD Lasoya Promaster. The pistol has an internal cocking kit lately. I have other stuff, but these are my non-AGD favorites.

                  That's why I bought one. For the price, it shoots WELL above its weight class and can definitely compete with the 1200+ superguns out there.

                    Other then my mags my phantom would be my favorite. It has seen the most use of any of my guns.

                        Love my CCM S6.5
                        Shoot it 95% of the time I play. I just cant put it down, even to shoot a mag instead.

                          The only markers I've owned other than two Automags and one Autococker were a Spyder SE (my first marker), a Maverick (when we were trying to get a few games of pump play in per day), and a Nerve (No idea why I bought this. At least I got it used for $450-ish, not $1200+ when new), all of which were donated many years ago. Of those, I guess the Spyder.

                          Sad to admit, but outside of the above, in 16 years of paintball, I can probably count on one hand the number of other markers I've even tried. I guess I'm lucky to have such simple and relatively inexpensive taste.

                            I'd have to go with my 97 Angel, still has both the semi and full auto boards.

                              Whatever gun decides to work that day or whatever gun i pick that day. Amongst my choices are, but not all are necessarily in worming order: Axe, Eclipse Angel, DM4, Sovereign, cocker, Ego6, halfblock sniper clone and a plethora(literally a plethora) of ICD B2ks, Freestyles and Promasters.

                              I play no favorites, yet my Axe will always be with me, as well as my classic Mag. Those 2 will always be at the field no matter what.
