sidearm choices

[vadn1]

I have an opportunity to purchase a sidearm. I am debating whether to purchase one sydarm or two zeus g2 pistols. Once purchased either marker will be left in stock form except for the quick reload on the zeus marker. Any suggestions on which marker to go with. I have seen prices on both and they are very close (1) sydarm=(2) zeus g2s

Sydarm just for the pure coolness factor. And it will be a collectors item, they already are.

So it sounds as though, If I plan on playing with a pistol in the field, the zeus's might be a better choic...?

uhhh hell no, the sydarm is more accurate

not do dis in anyway, but it depends what your looking for, if its just looks, id get the 2 g2's or the new warsensor pistol (www.warsensor.com) if you want a gun that will be your and just yours then get a plamers squall, in my opinion the best pistol ever made, though i have very little knowledge about the sydarm, it looks tight

If you plan on using more than 10 shots ...and reloading the 12g , I would stay away from the Sydarm. The on field loading of this beasty is ...well...painfully slow...even in my nimble ninja like hands (cough cough) Sydarm is the better performing out of all the "pistol type" I have used...definatly the most reliable, effective ,consistant of them all. Not the fastest reload in the field.
This is a Duelists pistol in my mind. Every shot counts.

The Sydarm is nice, but as stated before, it isn't practical for paintball play. It wasn't built for paintball play, it was built for LEA training, and it shows.

It should be noted that initial testing of the WSP has discovered that it'll only get around 8 shots from a 12g before failing to cycle currently. The Warsensor community has been assured the issue is being adressed, but it looks like they're moving towards using a 45g on micro remote for the power source. On the other hand, the WSP does look really good... Bottom line, buy the Sydarm

I was looking and reading on the WSP, but decided I dont want to wait for them to work the bugs out, plus doesnt it have some new type of technology which no other markers have on the market? I would rather play it safe get a pistol which has been out and tested, rather than investing in one which is new to the market.

It's the "world's first blowback closed bolt semi-auto pistol"... Which... really doesn't mean much other than it wins some style points. I've been on the recieving end of purchasing a new marker and having it mostly suck because it was released in a "just above spec" fashion (anyone remember the PT Enforcers?). They're still functional, though later generations have seen increadible improvements in efficiency and peak muzzle velocity.

WSP = Closed Bolt Zeus/ZX/PTPro with a new set of bugs after most of the old bugs have been worked out. I still believe it'd be worth owning one of the first gens of this marker, just not for practical reasons
