    overrated: Matrix, the orginal sucked and so do all the clones, My opinion deal with it.

    Excals/viks post SP: Awsome guns but the price is just insane



    Underrated:

    Excals/Viks pre SP: Before the price hike I dont think you could have bought a better electro for the money.

    LED Angels: As fast in fot faster than WDPs latest stuff, add an extra detent and a halo.

    2K+ stock cockers: I have shot every kind of cocker on the planet, with exception to a revenge v2, the stock 2k+ cocker is one of the best mech's for the money

    BKO's: Cheap and ungodly fast, halo required!

    Classic SS'd mags: If you want a gun that will work everyday this is it.

    Shoebox Shockers: I have had the pleasure of owning an eclipse. Incredible marker on co2, not the fastest but insanly consistant. Only gun I owned the would run +/-1 on co2 and shoot quads all day, ON CO2!!!

      They all shoot 300 fps with the same accuracy. The only thing you get for the extra coin is pretty anno and aGGness on the field.

        You obviously havent had too much experience with a Wrath, Nothing like a spyder. It is modeled after the Timmy and operates like one. Does not even compare to a Spyder.
        Ahem.. A Timmy is a pneumatic spyder, a spyder is a spring operated timmy.

          ....vikings and excals are cheaper now than ever before, not shure what your talking about

          but, your 100% correct about the shoebox, that was my first electro back in the day, as you said, +- 1/2 all day on co2, wasnt fast, but, not bad, little/no kick, really fun operation altogether. There also not as big as made out to be, and i dont remember mine being heavy in the least. Also i dont remember it ever chopping, i have been meaning to pick up another one whenever i get some spare cash, they are great markers and just fun to play with.

            well starting from the day of the SP court case until about 4 months ago a stock vik was dam close to 1k. Only reason they are cheap now is liquidate stock.

            My eclipse Shocker never chopped, I dont think it was fast enough to chop

                Defiently not tippmann's, i've played with my a-5 through snow, rain(not drizzle, downpour) and just aobut every weather conditio've owned it and it still shoots like new.

                Mmy Dm5 is definelty not over-rated though, shoot like a dream, dead silent, fast, light, and once my q-loader is on there no profile either.

                I wouldn't say that Spyders are under-rated though, a lot of people use them and they can be good mid-level marker with about $150 of ups.

                Can't say I've ever really seen a pyscoballistics marker but judigng from some of their other stuff I've seen: ie silver bullet, it can't be that good, my friend's bullet breaks every time we go to play.

                  Better tolerances, well thought out / put together, service / support wouldn't all happen to be factors too now would it I mean, if the above statement were true, I think you'd see a lot more people on the field with Blades.

                  I agree... they may be overpriced, especially compared to other markers. But they're tanks and rarely fail to work, even after quite a bit of abuse.

                      Anything with a high rate of fire that is advertised as such and found in the hands of the children of rich yuppies parents. A guns RFO has now surpassed the need for skill. Watching kids at my field bring/buy 2-3 cases of paint and leave their case of skill at home is laughable.

                        Underrated: Pumps, namely phantoms

                        I love the feeling of shooting someone with a timmy with just one ball, or shooting out 4 people and realizing i only went thru 13 rounds. I like getting back to the roots of the game and im trying to convince more people to do the same.

                            Overhyped: Karnivore, Angel G7

                            Overrated: DM5/C (More expensive, heavier, and less efficient than a Proto)

                            Underrated: ICD Freestyles, older Matrixes ($400-450 gets you a DM3, with eyes, and Tadao, arguably the best board in paintball)
