what is the rarest gun?

[BradAGD]

There was an auction on ebay for 2 of the BE90's, one working and one not. I thought about emailing and seeing if the buyer would sell the broken one...

I heard they only made 25 tequilla sunrise E-mags.

Just a little reminder regarding 'rare' for the purpose of this thread. Different anno combinations, or milling don't really qualify.

i'm going to have to say "camille" is the rarest....if anyone can find it....its a part of paintball history.

Another thing about Ducks that people should be aware of is that Ducks are still being made. Carter will make one for you as long you provide over $1,000 and are willing to wait.

Hey Doc you mentioned that you doubted a functional Macho Fire had ever been produced.

He claims to have shot 500 rounds through it guess only one way to find out if it really works. Maybe whoever buys it will let ya check it out.

I'll cast vote towards the Desert Duck. Only 26 made ever, and the going bare bottom rate for one is still $1,000. I've seen some in excellent condition going for over $2,000.

What about Lapco?

What about some of the Lapco Markers?

The Grey Ghosts are pretty plenty, and several are just varients, but there are a few that are different enough and small production enough to be 'rare'.

Grey Spirit? It was Bore Drop instead of Breech, and had a double pump arm and loger bolt. Not too many were made.

And the AutoSpirit. A Semi-Auto marker he produced. REALLY RARE.

I would think Colin and Lapco have some rare markers...

I would go with the Autosprit...that is pretty damn rare...but I will stick with the other guys...the Desert Ducks are probably one of the rarest.

[TequilaMockingbird]

Roughly how many Autospirits were made? I've never heard a number people agree on.....

[Webmaster]

Er - there are more than 26 ducks. Ive seen like 10 in one picture. According to one source - there are 500 floating around.

Lapco, Colin and his Markers...

Here is an Email from Colin at Lapco posted all over the internet. I would say from this that several of his markers would qualify as rare, especially the AutoSpirit...

I built Grey Ghosts from 1988 to 1993. About 2000 were produced. The Grey Ghost is a breech drop gun, with a spring under the pump to keep the breech closed. No new Ghosts are available anywhere, to my knowledge.

The Grey Spirit is a bore drop version of the Ghost. I made 500 of them from 1990 to 1995. The last 60 were custom guns, made to order, between 1993 and 1995.

Three other variants were produced in numbers. The Wrath was a black Ghost without the pump spring and barrel honing. 500 were built.

The Vamp was an english export version of the Wrath. 80 were built.

The Spectre was a black Spirit without the pump spring and barrel honing. This gun was sold as a field gun. 600 were made.

The breechdrop guns were 100% Nelson 007 compatible. The boredrop guns were produced to compete with the Bushmaster. The parts are interchangable.

110 AutoSpirits were produced between 1993 and 1994. These semis are no longer available.

Ok, all I want to know is who is he, how much does he want and where did he buy it.

In my book the Cyber 9000 is very rare. Thought it never made it into full productions I know of 5 that were out there and worked. The rumor has it that there was enough parts for another 25 to be built...but no one knows where the parts ended up.

I have been looking for one of these ever since I passed up the chance to buy one. I am willing at this point to pay just about anything for one as long as it's in original condition and still working.

I didn't think that these made it into production either, as I was on the waiting list when they died.
