      I love my '03 shocker but it's mainly a fontman gun. I'd also reccomend a was'd timmy.

        A WASd timmy or a WASd viking. Both VERY fast, efficient, and wont chop. Make sure you get a rail mount.

          Well look at it this way. A "typical" back player does two things.

          Shoots fast.
          Shoots ALOT.

          So you need speed and efficiency. My suggestions are the following.

          Viking- Fast and can get close to a case of paint off a 68/4500

          Matrix w/ Evolve Bolt- Pretty much any matrix with an eye and this bolt will have the speed and efficiency. DM4 currently do not qualify since they only get 5-6 pods on a good day with a 68/4500 and do not have an option for the Evolve bolt yet.

          Timmy- Pretty much any timmy will rip and they get decent efficiency.

          Borg- Though I have not shot one they have been said to rip and efficiency is close to a Viking.

          BUY THESE

                  If you want fast and efficient, may I recommend an angel speed. I've been getting about 1100 shots out of a 68/45 fill.

                  And it feels nice too, like angels should

                  But honestly, get something you feel comfortable shooting fast.

                      Thanks for all the suggestions I am gonna ponder it a while and try and decide where I needa go with this. the guns I thought would be reccomended have been so I am pleased there but this also leaves me alot of options.

                        Get what you like. The vision on my 03 shocker works fine. I was shooting it with a revy on sunday and i had 0 chops. Matrices and intimidators are good.

                          I say go with something simple and easy to setup etc... If your primary goes bad you most likely have to hurry it up a bit to set up. Mags are pretty simple so thats why i would go with that. Just my thoughts.

                            Theres nothing wrong with the Cyborg. It is an excellent marker and a very capable back players marker. Just because its in the classifieds doesn't mean it is a problem marker. I absolutely love mine.

                              Sorry, I must have lysdexia or something

                              I thought the title said "back-up" gun, not backman gun. In which case, the RTP is still and awesome choice and one with which you can shoot ropes of paint all day long without wearing out your finger, but I'd also recommend:

                              AKA Viking
                              AKA Excalibur
