what i shoot onw is in my sig.

i'm contemplating whether or not to upgrade my mag fully (x-valve, new tank, intelliframe, ult, ule), or just buy a new gun.

ah, totally missed that in your sig. Well the X goes for 225, body for 150. intelli for $100 or so, ult for 50, and you won't get much for the scrap parts, and for that money I'd personally say you're better off selling your current setup and get a Viking w/ WAS, eyes, humphrey noid, etc. Right now, because the '04s are coming out, you can get an '03 that will make an XMag look like a Spyder (exaggeration but makes my point) for real cheap, maybe even for just a little over what you would spend on the upgrades. I guess it all depends on what you can get for your mag and what you like in a marker, but AKA is one of the top companies right now and they're getting bigger by the day.

excal

I was never a fan of Excals, open bolt is faster and the whole deal of closed bolt being more accurate is bull (I'm building a Merlin mostly just to try it out). But the Excals are pretty sweet.

I think the speed difference is negligable. They will both cycle faster than a halo can feed. Anything faster than that is pointless.

QUINCYMASS, the Excal will seem just as fast when you shoot it, so the speed difference really doesn't matter. However, the Excal is softer on paint and cycles smoother.
