If you had to choose one marker for all situations....

i would have to agree with the pop with goin with a tippmann, their built like a rock they are one of the only guns that can really handle co2 well in all conditions, their a low cost gun and wih a decent barrel and to put a little more into the responce trigger being the only neccesary upgrade to it, tippmanns can be just as fast as some of the higher end guns.
u can take a tippmann throw it off of a 2 story building hook the tank up fill the hopper up and it will have no problems. tippmanns will even prob get more shots on co2 durin the winder then say like a spyder. plus tippmanns even tho they may take a little while to break down to clean, breaking down is only needed once in a while not as often as say a spyder or ne thing else would need to be

it would be a tossup between the Mag and the Tippman. With the Tippman you have a mechanicaly agitated hopper with an adjustable RT effect running off CO2 (A5).

With the Classic Mag you would have consistancy.

since you posted this in an Automag section of an Automag forum...wouldn't you think this would be biased?

Piranha Evo...

After having 30 someodd differant markers, I've settled on that. It looks good, runs fine on CO2, it's fast, doesn't chop with the eyes, solid, simple yadda yadda yadda.

The only problem is that it bucks like a blowback should, but I couldn't care less about that.

Well, my personal prefferences would be a matrix of some type, or a viking. both rock solid markers.

i guess a nice mech cocker. Like a freeflow or shocktech or something along those lines. I say that only because you have the requirement to use CO2. Otherwise, id still be shooting my intimidator.

I'd have to pick Kingman. In my book they have the best bang for your buck for getting started. Consider that for a buck twenty-five you can get an electro sear tripper that has oodles of ups out there, a solid community, and will take most of the abuse that a newbie can give it. Also consider the later ups that can be had in taking the Spyder from a sear tripper to eletro pnuematic with a small body mod. Its a chassis that'll grow with the player if they choose to upgrade it.

For a close second I'd pick a Tippmann, however their initial firepower to cost ratio isn't nearly what an e-Spyder's ratio is. For raw durability though, Tippmann's definately the way to go.

WGP is definately climbing with their Trinity serries, AGD remains something for the better funded player for initial cost.

Dragun Empire with their One or ICD's BKO are also up there for those with more funding for their purchase. Smart Parts is pretty much only for the guys and gals who have the cash to toss around, same with any Custom/Palmer guns you'd ever hope to get your mits on.

I can't recall who else was on the list but I'd guess they were all on the order of $300+ and will usually require either special precautions with CO2 or are just too expensive.

Kingman, great marker, is so sloppily built it will always function.

a CCI phantom. works on every thing.

mag or palmer
