Nova or Mayhem

[68magOwner]

My brother is searching for a new gun, and he cant shoot mags at all. So hes looking at either a Mayhem, electro phenumatic marker, or the fully phenumatinc marker, the Nova 700/Super Nova. I personally like the novas just because they are really rare, and they are (i belive) the only true fully phenumatic paintball guns, they dont even have a bolt, wich is really cool if you ask me. But i dont really know much about either marker. And i know i saw a mayhem on here before, so if someone could give me a review on either or both of these guns, it would be greatly appreciated.

i would say mayhem. Why not get a mag and then a electro grip?

[68magOwner]

could you please tell me your reason for choosing the mayhem, and the reason for not gettin the electro mag, is because he could get the mayhem cheaper, he likes the looks better too.

Those two guns are both pretty crappy... Novas aren't made anymore and I don't think Mayhems are either....

[Halliday]

Neither. 98 Custom.

i no noavs arnt made, mayhems still are, but i thought they were supposed to be good guns, and no 98c

novas are nice, when they work.

I am the one who has the mayhem you saw, so it should carry some wieght when i say get something else. Stock mayhems, while reliable, chop like hell.

i would suggest something else.

seriously, mags aren't hard guns to shoot...

and why get yourself into a situation where you are stuck with a gun that isn't cheap and is not terribly reliable and is hard to find parts for?

stock impulse, lev 10 mag, rt mag maybe? 2003 cocker? spyder? A5? lots and lots of choices

Novas are great, they're very fun. However, when something goes wrong you're in trouble. The company is no more as you might know, they aren't made any more. So customer support is just slightly lacking.

Mayhems are nice, but very much capped. They aren't too fast, even being electronic. Reminds me of the Shocker speed, but on a smaller Nova.



I can suggest some others, but not sure yet. What's his budget? What is he looking for? Where does he play on the field and what type of field (speedball or woods)?

wanna get one of em? get the warmachine assault 80, same concept, 3rd time around....

Novas are still made. They are goodl ittle guns, VERY small. My field is selling a blue mayhem all hooked up, ready to go for $250. If you want it PM me.

the Ice Epic is a nice gun. It has no bolt and utilizes a trapdoor system.

The iceepic is $650 though, a little out of what seems to be this guys price range.

yea, he has bout $300, but is selling his pro-lite setup, for probably $100-$150. But out of the $400-$450, he only wants to spend like $150-$220, i think he should just get a tippy 98c or a mag, because if his gun ever breaks then i have to fix it, hes mechanically impared, so cockers are definately not for him. But he dosent want a 98c, and he always shotr stroked my mag and "chuffs", i tell him to learn the trigger, but he is determined to stay away from mags. So I dont see many options for him if he wants to get a better gun, but stay in his price-range. Also, he normally plays woodsball, but wants to start playin speedball (but i dont think he will get into it) he wants lots of accuracy, he currently has a 16in all american on the pro-lite, shoots very nice (for a pro-lite ) so obviously, with his price range, he's gonna have to buy used, his main complaint about the pro-lite is the VERY hefty trigger pull. Please give me your suggestions
