Toughest marker ever?

[evildead420]

WD40 isnt a lubercant, it drys up after time.

best stuff is Corrusion Block. good stuff for a substitute for lube. expensive though for 20 bucks a spray can.

[tipp-ed off]

Old M98 or a Pro-Carbine.

[jewie27]

Stainless steel Auto/Minimags

[SpecialBlend2786]

m98 / 98 custom.

next inline would be the stainless automags i think.

Both could be shot under water.
Both could be dropped of the famed 10 story build of marker destruction and survive

I have to chime in here... the VM68 was a friggen boat anchor, but a damn tough SOB, but I have to give the Classic AM/MM the award for the toughest gun. My minimag has been through hell over the last 13 years, and in all honesty, I have changed the orings only ONCE in that lifetime. Can't beat the classic for durability.

My LCD shot through sand and paint sludge...Not well enough to really keep me in the game since the detent was stuck back. Tippmanns and 'mags are both durable. Same goes for Palmer markers.

Toughest Marker...

Well the VM68/PMI 3 has been mentioned as has the Mag. I had one friend completely forst a cocker(1/4" thick frost) in a tournament, while running on co2 and still be able to crono off the field. But for me, the one marker that sands out in my memory is the 1st gen stingray. When it first apeared in APG, they showed pictures of it being run over by the Snakebite monster truck. Show me another plastic body marker that can stand up to that.

my classic was left out in the rain for a loong time while it was my brothjers and the thing still works, that theing went through hell. tmaxxking owns it now and he can probably attest to that things condition. but its over a decade old and it still works

*edit* unless he did something to it

[SlartyBartFast]

Actually, there is nothing particularily impressive about that. Tire pressure is propably about the same in a Maonster truck as in tires on a compact car. About 32 psi.

A concentrated load may prove much more damageing (say a bicycle with 100psi inflation which would place the entire weight of the bike and rider on one point).

[peewee]

Classic mag hands down.

Haven't had a chance to abuse my mag yet. But I've got a tippmann 68 carbine that has been through hell. Been dropped from the roof of a barn, run over, dropped in mudpuddles, and buried in sand. I've had it for 6 years (bought it used) and I have never replaced orings and only oiled it once, and that wasn't until this last year.

Good stories though, glad to see I'm not the only one that beats the crap out my stuff.

Our field owner found a Pro-Lite during the production of a new course.

It looked like it had been buried for years, completely caked in mud / dirt / grime.

We cleaned it, threw a CO2 on it, and took it to the chrono.

It fired.

The hammers can rust very easily on the Pro-Lite.

1st - Air valved automags
2nd- VM-68s
3rd- most tippmanns
4th- AKA markers (maybe)

[SpitFire1299]

I use my paintball gun oil for all different things... Door creaking, old controlers for like sega with stuck buttons, anything. It always works, and it never didnt.

Toughest Mech- Tippmanns, Automags
Weakest Mech- Anything under $50

Toughest Electric-
Weekest Electric-

Ive never had an electric gun. I got an angel LCD a few days ago, i hope thats tough.
