Weight's not a matter of hype... If something weighs more than something else, then it weighs more. It's a matter of personal choice and opinion as to how one deals with weight...

As for overal speed and manuverability, lighter markers will provide more of an edge than heavier markers, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's "better" or "worse."

True, which is why I put in the prefence part. Hype ties into the 'my balls are bigger' syndrime inflicting much of the world where light weight becomes a bragging right & selling point to excess (My gun is .1oz lighter!).

I agree, are we discussing the difference in weight of a sixteen pound set up compared to a four, where it can make a difference, or the difference of a few ounces or even a pound. How big of a difference in weight? From a warped stainless classis with a huge steel tank to a ULE with a 45/45 CF tank? or from one present super gun to another that weigh very close to the same.

Yeah, Going from a friends bko to my emag(big weight difference) I didn't really notice anything, we were just running to see who could get further and every time we tied or were close. So, no I don't think the extra 3 pounds or, .0003 ounces matter much.

50 lbs wouldnt keep me from getting an extra bunker, let alone an extra 10.

ive seen guys whip around shoeboxes as well as ive seen somebody whip around a mag, the guy with the shoebox saying he cant handle the smaller gun because it isnt "sturdy" enough in his arms, guy with the mag saying he cant move as well with the larger marker.

I play better with a mid-sized marker, but i prefer to play with super light ones, cant even handle a shoebox lol.

Whatever works, size is something relative you your abilities/preferences, not to performance.

My gun tends to weigh more towards the end of the day. So I like to start out w/ a few reps w/ a ule mag. Then do a few more w/ a stainless emag. Then end it out back w/ the ule.

But the few pounds you shave off your gun + the few pounds you shave off your wallet may get you another bunker.

EDIT: Lohman, dubleya, & somewhat maggot are on the right track.

Simple answer is, do whatever you feel is best. Unless its like the SS to ULE example, chances are, that any 'boost' to your performance is simply placebo. But hey, the couple ounces lighter your wallet will be WILL make a difference!

Hmmm, I get the feeling it's time to crawl back under my bridge.....
