Best blowback thread

[no_doz]

first off, if you are going to post in this thread, please have an opinion on the bes blowback out there, even if u dont like blowbacks. do NOT post with messages like "they are all the same" "they all suck" or "this is a stupid thread" because those may be your opinions, and i really dont care to hear them, as for the rest of you... Thanx for looking!

The Piranha Pro TS is the best blowback in my opinion, or at least that ive shot, my cousin has one and he has broken about 5 balls out of 8 cases, and 3 of them were because of a crappy barrel he got. Plus it shoots pretty hard and accurate, and is relatively quiet. (its stock other than the barrel!)

The best stock(that does not have an absurd price, black widow cough cough) I would have to say is the raider series from WGP. I haven't used a blowback in a while so I don't know if they came out with revolutionary technology that makes them a lot better. IMO one blow back isn't too much better than another, but there is a difference.

when i had an e-99 it had a grand total of 0 chops except once when my revy was being screwy. so i say e-99.

Tippmann model 98 or 98 custom. Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin! (much like me )

I said it in the last thread, all the blowbacks ARE the same in performance. They all function identically, and most parts are even interchangeable with one another!

[MaChu]

there is a differnce between a stingray and an A-5...

Quality, anything from a respectable brand name company will be decent. Top 3 off my head.

Tippmann
PMI
Kingman

in that order.

Thats not what I meant.

[Torbo]

any tippmann. They do shoot about they same as most blowbacks, but the quality is tremedous. Tippmanns are simply better made than any other blowbacks.

The ACI F4 Illustrator's the best blowback semi out there.

I've been running one going on five years straight and it's just a tank.

Why it's better built/designed than the other blowbacks-

*All weather valve* I've shot this thing in desert temps and not quite freezing and it's performed perfect. On an ACI expansion chamber it will even shoot co2 at a downward angle nonstop until the tank freezes over (not the marker).

*Totally enclosed body* No dirt/grime gets in this puppy. There's no rear/side cocking to let any in.

*The bolt even accepts Co2 o-rings* These are the o-rings you change most often, and you don't even have to run out and buy a parts kit to do it

*No tools field stripping* - Self explanatory

*It takes one allen key set to dissassemble the entire marker* - same

Easy to maintain (feed it oil like a mag), runs great on HPA as well (264, 262, 264's a pretty decent string right, especially with just a screw in HPA tank?), and has never failed me

Plus ACI is just down the freeway from me. So made in America and local's another plus.

Enough of my raving

Evil Omen. Why? Its a closed bolt Blowback. That takes skill...

Plus, closed bolt means that it shoots farther, right?

[rikkter]

squid, was it hard to follow a simple request from him?

anyways.

i think for the price, the tippmann 98 is the best, they're sturdy and realiable from what i've seen. plus they have TONS of stuff you can add on to it.

[~WarpedRT#2~]

I'd have to say Piranha of any sort. Tippmanns can be run over with a tank and still shoot though, but PMI stuff is good. Had very few breaks in my old STS, and it was very realiable. Customer service was GREAT too!!

What do you mean by this sentence? Do you mean that because the gun is piranha pro ts it will shoot 'harder' than other guns? And the same with accuracy? Do we need another physics lesson in AO

Or am I reading it wrong

He made that simple request in regards to the last thread he made. Go figgure.
