If You Could Have Only One Marker...

[KillingSpree]

ya is go for the crazy super douper ultimate weapon of all paintball

THE..... TALON

[JRingold]

What would it be? Remember, just one. This would be the marker you will be using for the next five years. Money is to be ignored in this equation. Just your opinion. It can be any production or custom marker generally available. You can add the "why" if you would like.

A custom made Palmer's Nasty Squall. A double barrel pistol.

[Ov3rmind]

Gloss Black DYE LCD Angel
14" DYE Ultralite Barrel
Low Rise Clamping Feed Neck
Eyes

The fact that I can easily afford this now makes me want to get into paintball again.

the viking i have now, i have yet to shoot, own, or even see anything which i liked more, im in love with my baby

[warbeak2099]

An electro phantom with a custom vert grip. Yea I've priced the project out and it'd come to around $2000+. I'd probably have Punisher do it. Think about it, small, lightweight, efficient, accurate, consistant, easy to maintain, fast, etc. It's everything a mag is plus efficient.

basically you would make an Electro autococker?

No. An electric phantom would not be like an electric autococker. The design of the gun is different.

[Merlund]

The Merlund Impulse. The only one of it's kind in the world. The only thing stock is the solenoid. Voted Nov. '04 Impulse of the Month on IOG, and called the sexiest Impulse ever, and the most expensive Impulse ever, respectively. A mixture of silver ano'ed aluminum, titanium, stainless steel and delrin parts. I won't ever sell it.

id say my 2k2 intimidator, which is getting tadao and a 2k5 frame this week. Its worked perfactly for me for a year and a half, whats 5 more, right?

[Muzikman]

A convertable full length Squall. This is probably the most versitle gun out there.

Can take 12 grames or CA
Can be stick fed (spring or rock n' cock) or DF
It can be semi or pump

what exactly is different? Im guessing if it would be an electric phantom it would have pneumatics so he wouldnt have to cock it every shot.

[warbeak2099]

Um it'd be single tube for one thing. It would probably have a combination of Lapco, Carter, and CCI internals for optimum efficiency. It's basically be a single tube e-cocker. But, that's my idea of the uber gun.

That or a somehow efficient electro mag with a vert frame and eyes.

Here are some pics to illustrate the differences. They are the same pneumaticwise, but different on the inside. Here is an animated gif of what a phantom would look like when you cock it..

I couldnt find any sniper animated gifs but here is a pgp which works very similarly to the sniper so you can get the idea of the differences..

The only thing the same about an ecocker and an ephantom design wise would be that they are pumps converted to semi using pneus.. :)

[deadbox101]

oops forgot that the phantom was nelson based. (or is it the other?)
