      None. A couple barrels/ good barrel system. other than that, it's got all I need and more. It's just sooo fun to shoot- the fun/upgradability/accuracy of a cocker and the speed/trigger of an electro.

      Looks like the mag will be the backup gun for the AO-VA day in march...

        That's a hard decision... but for me, it'd have to be an x-mag or an IR3. It's really what you like the best. Try to get to shoot each one, and base your decision on that, not the opinion of others. I may like to shoot an e-mag, whereas you may be more comfortable with an imp. It's all personal preference.

          I'd recommend shooting every single on of them, especially if ya plan on purchasing this next gun new as you wouldn't want to take the hit if you decide it's not for you.

          Personally, money isn't a huge factor for me, but I 'only' shoot an RT Pro.

          If you are a front/back/mid player that should also elimnate some guns from your list...

              I'd say try a 2003 Shocker. If you don't like it, go with an xmag.

                Out of those choices I would assume the nerve is the cheapest. However, not much is known about it yet. Nasty doesnt have the tapeworm mod so strange vision takes precendent over that. Trix...enh, decent choice but not top choice among those. Xmag, too pricey for now and hard to find. E-Orracle, IR3, also too pricey for now for what one gets. Timmies are also a nice choice.
                Out of that list my choices are Strange Vision, and nice Timmy, you have the best bang for your buck in those two.

                    well i think this was mainly mentioned for the fact that front players generally want a gun that's light so its easy to run with, compact since you'll be getting into tight bunkers, and a good snap shooting trigger as opposed to something that takes a little more rhythm
                    id also take into consideration how well sealed and protected the internals are since you'll be hitting the dirt a lot(for me that rules out any cocker)

                    obviously if you played back you might not worry so much about weight and size so much as accuracy and range..

                    just my $.02

                      He says money doesn't matter, i.e. "bang for buck" is worthless, he wants the 'best' gun out there.

                          Shoot both a Timmy, x-mag, and e-blade cocker. Between those you choose one kick-@$$ gun. Don't go by what we say... Of course I voted for the x-mag

                            I say nasty imp... fast, reliable, plenty of upgrades, efficient, looks very good, available.

                            as far as the X-mag is concerned... it will be good when it reaches full production... right now it is way too sparse. and as far as I'm concerned a prototype until you can order it.
