Electronic markers?

i'll stick to my X mags until AGD comes out with something new.

Ah! Yah geo3 compared to an axe pro is a small price difference used. Let alone a geo3 compared to a normal axe.

Since I will be shopping used I will be at the mercy of the seller for ano colors. So that isn't a big factor here.

Guess I really need to decide if I want to pull the trigger and post my "finally functional" project marker for sale....

What barrel threading do these markers use. In all my net skimming I guess I've missed that.

They all use autococker threading. Aside from the shocker and luxe that's all the new high end markers use.

That's the rumor.....

I cringe to say this......but. Weight is actually also a factor. So an emag is out of the question. Over time I may pneu my old trusty RT. But that's farther down the road. My right rotator cuff is junk and I've been avoiding surgery for almost 10 years. Guess age is making all the abuse I've put my body thru catch up to me. All and all I really think I'm gonna put my above marker on the chopping block and try to flip it for a nice functional electro. My main RT will always be around though.

Resistance bands.

Cheap on ebay.

I tore my left one years ago.

You can bring it back to close to normal using resistance bands.

While it's true, for ease of maintenance, the Geo parallels the Axe, but unless you get a geo 3 or above they tend to be somewhat inefficient.

Both are good reliable guns so either will be excellent choice. With GEO 2 you can alway buy IV core if the efficiency bothers you (probably won't, 68 tank will shoot around hopper and 5-6 pods). IV will bring it pretty much right on par with GEO 3.5 at around hopper and 10-12 pods.

I'm currently using GEO 3.5 as primary and 3.0 as backup for my tournament play.

I have a Geo 3.5 for tournaments, and I love it! I used a Dm13 before I got my Geo. The Geo is light and reliable, very easy to maintain and is my favourite-hands down.

Eh.... I like the price of the axe. But I know local players with Geo's. Based on some of the abuse they have taken I'm pretty impressed with them..... Decisions decisions. Guess untill I shed my project marker I can't afford to do anything.

I have found a 2.0 Geo package for what appears to be a good price. Guess I need to really look in to the big differences in the different Geo flavors

A 2.x Geo with IV Core won't ever reach the efficiency of a 3.x with IV core. The main solenoid works completely differently between the two. Would you see efficiency and shot quality improvements on a Geo 2.x with the IV? Yes. As good as a 3.x with it? No. Jack's even said so and why.

That being said, if you can find a used Geo 3 and toss an IV core in, you have the same gun as the GSL/Geo 3.5 without the fancy milling or quick release back cap. I love my Geo3 just as much as my Axe.

True. I can recall, now that you said it. Some how mixed it in my head with GEO 1.

At any rate the efficiency isn't that bad unless you carry loads of paint on the field.

if price is an issue then axe or mini gs. ergonomics are crap if you have big hands (I put nummech stuff on my axe). but you can get either for 2-250. smooth, quiet, efficient, fast.

any PE will be reliable and easy to maintain. geo 2's go you can find in the 300-450 range.

do NOT get an insight or onslaught unless you want to spend a good deal of time researching the in's and out's of maintenance and troubleshooting. you WILL have problems and will have to do regreasing/maintenance after every case of paint. also, not the smoothest guns I've ever shot. in my experience of bob long's, the g6r and victories were the best.

Love playing with my axe. Many of the same features mentioned above in previous comments. My two cents.......go with the best deal. Sounds like budget is a priority.

My hands are not large. I used a friend's mini a couple years ago. Nice little marker. Figure I'd prefer the axe over the mini.

Price is an issue in that I don't want to pay 200 extra just for a name. If there is a legit reason I will do it. I like the look of the Geo better. And I know more people that own them than the axe. But really it's a matter of what is the better overall marker per price point. I want a reliable fast marker that is light and easy to break down that will most likely have parts available for quite some time.

Then both the Axe or Geo will cover that need.

Well if there is no real reason to go Geo then axe is deff the way to go based off buy in cost. Worst thing bout either of them is having to buy a new hpa tank for lower output pressure.
