      By TunaMag, you mean Tuna E-Mag, right? Because a normal mechanical TunaMag just isn't really a competitor for the rest of those guns. It doesn't matter anyway, half the people who voted for it just voted because they saw the word Mag.

        Tunamag, or Trixxy from the list. Both are very nice markers, the Tunamag will be incredibly light, and the trixxy wont be bad. But most do have a point, the mech Tunamag wont be able to stream paintballs quite as fast as those electros. The Trixxys are just churning out better and better though man, it easily beats the rest on the list. Something not on the list though....Dark Viking baby!. If I wasnt allowed to use my ULE RTPX (who knows?) I would be packing a Dark Viking. They are insane on air, have very little kick, and dont weigh much. But indeed they are ugly most of the time. And as for the Shocker 03, shoot it...a lot and see how ya like it. The efficiency is still the ugliest part of the marker.
        2 da k da 2 Timmah.

        Oh..it shoots da 620:1 .No problemo.

            I built this one myself, but you get the idea. My vote is for the mag. Before I got all these parts, I was ready to set my minimag aside and upgrade my timmy. Now I'm selling the timmy and keeping this as my main marker.

                I'd have to go with (on that list) the Bushy (it's what I have experience with). I do think I'm going to be picking up a 'Trix, though. I'd have recommended the 'Mag, but I agree that a mechanical 'Mag probably wouldn't be as fast as the others. If you meant the Tuna-E-Mag, I don't have any experience with them (although I should, soon).
                There are three kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't.

                  TunaMag

                  The TunaMag with the X-Valve we say Saturday was awesome. It is the one you should get.

                  Besides the X-valve will never fly out and hit you in the face!

                      Sure it is. When this one shoots out the back of you cocker, instead of bouncing off, it will penatrate you goggles this time!!!

                          Well, most of these aren't on your list, but after owning quite a few markers I would say:

                          If you're going to keep the cocker, don't make it electronic. First of all a cocker was intended to be a pump gun, its asking enough of it to work as a semi

                          For a Bushmaster, the stock 2k3 with PDS is a good value for the price, but I would go ahead and get either the Shocktech, Sonic or Vaporworks.

                          Impulses are nice, but are they worth the extra cash over the Bushmasters? I don't know, that's up to you. But the Nasties and the Toxics are certainly very sweet, especially if you put a I-frame on them.

                          Matrices- not my thing

                          Intimidator- not on your list but from what I've seen and heard they are great guns. In the same category as the Bushmasters and Impulses (Open bolt, stacked tube electro) but a little larger. Very easy on paint, accurate, and just as fast as everything else out there.

                          Angel Speed- Also not on your list, but it comes with the 90 degree space frame (comfy), all the bragging rights of the Angel and is now better than ever, thanks to lower operating pressures, increased effeciency, and reduced price. Also if you buy one from TAG, you get a lifetime warranty. And there is virtually no maintenance. Not to mention the fact that there is little chance of contaminants entering the gun since there are no external moving parts (like a mag) but unlike other guns (trix, mag, etc) that don't have external moving parts, you can actually take the bolt out quickly and easily. Don't forget the Sensi anti chop and the 3 point trigger.

                          Mags- Great guns. It just depends on what you want. They don't function at nearly as low a pressure as the other markers mentioned, but that doesn't really matter. With LX, they aren't quite as effecient either, but their smaller size and light weight allows you to have a larger tank without significantly increasing your profile. With LX you won't have any chopping problems either. And again, virtually no maintenance and it will never let you down on the field. I would reccomend a ULE body, standard rail, vert adapter with gasthru foregrip, Y grip, ULT and X valve. Then you will have a mech marker that gives you most of the advantages of an electro in an ultra compact and lightweight package that won't break your wallet.

                          So overall, I would choose the mag or Angel Speed. Good luck with whatever you get

                            i would definitely look into a viking. fastest gun out there hands down now w/ was boards(even fastest of all the was boarded guns). just think of the fastest gun youve ever seen/had and imagine like almost twice the speed and there you go. you just have to shoot one to understand. with the debounce on 1... well its literally a 30bps machine gun, lol. its insane. do u like efficiency???? because they get 2000 or more shots on a 68/4500. how about a super nice and reliable ACE???? well you get a 2 sided break beam ACE just like timmys and pds bushys have. IMO 2 sided break beam ACE is the best anti chop system ever made. hate working on your guns????? well aka guns are probably the most reliable guns out there. im gonna have to say they even give AGD a run for their money in the quality/reliability field. you dont have to do one single thing to these guns. as for maintenance, as long as you can put a couple drops of lube in the macro fitting before every day of play then you are good. they require no other maintenance. they are simply tanks, they never mess up, break, or even have a problem. these guns rule, plain and simple. its just a matter of time til they are the next big thing.

                              Right now, the Viking is top of my list. I was lookin at a half-milled dark viking, or maybe a JMJ viking

                                if you wanna get a bushy but go all out on it, defiently get a Venom Bushmaster, its all decked out and rips, I can also say that it smokes a shocktech bushmaster http://templates.earthstores.com/tem...667&cat=194838

                                the only thing I would do is ditch the rise and get a vapor norise from paintballtrader.com if u use a halo
