Which is a better back player marker..?

[ShatteredFaith]

Okay, I'm in the market for a new gun. I have an LX e-mag, but I want to try something new. What gun would be best for a back player? I've narrowed it down to a Matrix, Timmy, or possibly an Eblade cocker. Can someone specify the pro's and con's for each?

The only bad thing I've heard about 'trixes is poor efficiency, and possibly ball choppage. In the newest issue of FaceFull, they ranked the eclipse eblade cocker perfect (5 stars) for both accuracy and ROF. Timmies got 4 stars for accuracy and 5 for ROF, same with matrixes.

So, what does everyone recommend? Please don't say "keep the e-mag". It's cumbersome and I'm tired of waiting for the ULE bodies to come out. Oh yeah and like I said in the title I'm a back player.

ok, my friends team has a back player with a 2k2 and a dragon, all I can say is that they can most surrently lay some mad paint down. My suggestion would be a 2k2 timmy. I myself will own one in about a week. The timmy is basically meant for all poistions in my mind.

I would go with a matrix...

IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THOSE EFFICIENCY MODS THOUGH!!

Personally i would say either timmy or matrix. The problem with the matrix is that it just doesnt have the efficiency.

I love my Gz timmy. It is soooo fast. With a was board and halo it just rips. Yesterday at practice i would just empty an entire hopper off the break like it was nothing... I love this gun, the problem is that bob longs gus are known for being sloppily manufactured so it is possible to have problems with them.

2002 timmy

if I was not a mag lover this would be my pick
On my team I have had to play all positions, front, mid, back, tapes and on a couple of occasions Team Element let me borrow one of their timmys and they just rocked, no matter where I was I was able to use that thing to good affect.

for the range you seem to be in id say get a tequila matrix they have all the efficiency mods and such and is the best marker i have ever seen in my life www.aardvarkdirect.com is the site i think

The way to prevent having problems with timmys, is just to clean them after every day of play, oil all the orings after every day of play, then your timmy should remain in tip top shape.

I was refereing to the fact that the bodys are very badly made. Often the ram sleeves do not sit right. The bolts do not sit in the right place, the eye holes are not aligned etc etc. I know how to do maintance on my gun.

Edit: You do not want to oil anything in a timmy. You want to use dow 55 grease.

A lot of you say "timmy" but obviously didn't vote

I voted for the timmy, I have yet to shoot a matrix, but I'd say a tie between the two. I'd say you really can't go wrong with any of the guns you decided upon.

[Curly]

I didnt vote because for me it is a toss up between the timmy and the matrix.

i would stick to the emag. my teams back players all use emags and they provide such great cover.

[SyntaxError]

The back players for my team shoot timmy's, trixes, and angels, and all I know is they keep me in there. All three are very nice, I don't like timmy's much though, they feel "cheap" to me. Emags are very nice markers as well, whatever you play best with works.

Rentals...

Hey Syntax, is it true that they rent Matrixes at Rexplex? Someone told me this, and I wasn't sure.

i say get a Race Frame Cocker. teamate has a custom made cocker w/ one, he plays back, he keeps our fronts and us mids in there w/ so much paint and accuracy
and that is what im gonna do for me in the mid.
