    I feel like being an idiot and spending my money

    Ok if you read my cocker thread i wanted a cocker, but a *cough* reliable *cough* scource told me not to. so i am now going to consider ALL markers within the $400 price range.

    Requirements
    -it will be owned by an idiot(me)so it should be durable
    -it must be able to take a beating (thrown at a tree or a toilet)
    -It would be nice if it could take co2 and n2
    -highly customizable please
    -good for both rec and speedball

    gimmi suggestions

    Ummm the RT Pro (factory direct) meets all your conditions except for taking CO2 (can't do).

      Ditto.

      Though if you do decide to get the RT-PRO factory direct, then I would atleast fork over the extra 20 bucks for the ULE body. You can't beat that deal.

          I'd invest in a compressed air (n2) tank, for any marker... CO2 is a big no-no. If it's being "owned by an idiot", an autococker will probably not be the marker for you (if you mess up the timing, I think you'll have a tough time trying to fix it again).

          "Thrown at a tree or in a toilet"?? I hope you're not serious. If you have any common sense you should know how to avoid situations like this (especially bringing your marker with you in the bathroom??). Automags are pretty reliable markers, and are durable as heck, there's no denying it.

          Depending on what kind of tournament you're entering.... as in the level of difficulty, I guess some sort of automag will do. Just make sure it has a level 10 bolt.

          If you just want a fast little marker that has a speedy pull and is relatively inexpensive, there's always the bushmaster. If you can find a used one with PDS, you won't have much problems chopping.

          Are you including motorized loaders into the equation? With out a doubt, you'll need one, especially with a fast marker. Same with compressed air.

            get a used LED angel. you can pick one up for 300 bucks with plenty of upgrades thrown in. Those things are pretty fast too.

            anyway, thats my vote.

              Without seeing your "cocker" thread,I'm gonna say Cocker.

              Great gun for the price (easily under $300 used)in stock form,easily maintained dispite the typical misinformed opinions out there,upgradable in more possible ways than probably any gun ever made and perfectly suited to all styles of play and forms of air source.

              Jay.

              Perhaps you just need a new "reliable" source of info.

                I just might have a fairly highly upgraded special milled Cocker for sale.. for around that kinda money...

                Hey Jay, you ever get that X Mag display window i promised you? I forget. Saw one in my tool box and thought I only had one. Might be yours! LMK...

                  i'd say an impulse...it meets pretty much all of your requirements.

                    Ahem... I'm his source and if you knew Snyper, you would also know, without a shadow of a doubt, that a 'cocker is not for him. This is definitely one of those times when it's the player, not the gun.

                    I think an Impulse might be a good option, too.

                      With all do respectm,an Imp requires WAY more maintanace than a Cocker.

                      Maybe he just needs another Mag.

                              try a Tippmann
                              I threw mine against a tree once, long story, and it still works. These things are a mean gun on the field if upgraded properly
                              yeah yeah I know they are usually known as noob guns but they are nice guns to toy around with
