Am I nuts

[Lohman446]

Ok, my team is talking expansion, and moving to possible five or seven man format from three - I have a feeling we are going to get a little more serious now.

I have looked at other markers now, I currently shoot an X-valved, ULE Mag. I REALLY LIKE IT

I have gotten a chance to shoot e-mags (didn't really like them in electronic mode), vikings (indifferent), F5 'cockers (felt.. well fragile in my hands, or I was too worried about it), and 03 shockers (I liked it).

Now I come to the point that a backup marker, other than my minimag, is going to need to be purchased. I was thinking of going electro and changing my x-valved mag to my back-up marker, but I cannot find an electro that I am as comfortable with as my mag.

I think its time to buy the twin to the one I have - and run pure mechanical. I love my mag, I like the feel, I like the way it shoots. I can see some advantages to twin setups, never having to worry about which gun to pick etc. Am I nuts to stay with mechanical?

In my opinion, no. A lot of very good paintballers don't need electros to be good. I think what makes you a good player is what you are most comfortable with. I know when I'm playing with my marker, I'm comfortable and secure. I feel like I can play all day. When I use someone elses gun, I get nervous. Go with what's comfortable for you, I think your idea of buying a twin is fantasic.

I think if you dont like electro I didnt that much either so I took my eblade and traded it for a really nice mech cocker which I love so I am going to try to find another for back up

[JuggaloDave]

it isnt the gun really, so if you really like what you have, why change? no need to be electro, look at all the mech cockers they use in the big leagues.

If I remember correctly you are the front man for your team so you don't need to have the suppressive fire of a backman. It is nice being able to throw an extra ball or two when you are trying snapshoot though.

[$tevo]

you can try an hyperframe, or matrices, timmys, angels. you might find something you like. but if not, theres no need for electro. exspecially if your a front man

[Big'n slo]

I like the way you think! If mechanical works for you why change? In reality all you would really need is spare X valve, what other part of a mech mag could cause a problem?

[Josh2Xtremes]

Rock the Mechanical!

Stick with what you have, trick yourself another mag with XValve and drop a ULE Trigger into it, then you'll be shooting LIKE an electro without that pesky battery! And thanks to the almighty LEVEL X you can't chop, even with no eyes!

If I were you, I'd get a Hyperframe for your current gun. Then build a backup mech Mag with the frame from our current gun. That way you'd have two Mags, and ones electronic.
