    Carters

    I own one and it's nice... but very over-hyped.
    Phantoms are hyped more by the people that don't own them than by those who do.
    My three Phantoms all shoot great, but it's not going to make you a better player.

    I would add Palmer's as well, but since it's a very cult following, I can't think that it counts.

    I voted Angels.
    Before: "You're playing with WHAT?"
    After: "Crap! It's that guy with the pump!"

      i voted shocker, because its an ion with anodizing, and a fancy firing chamber

      im suprised ion is number one, how can it be overrated if its cheaper then any of the other guns on the list.... sure its not the best but people know that. People buy it because of the price not because of the quality

      timmy is right up there just because it is a spyder on steroids, and we all no what steroids did to baseball...

          intimidators are nice, but not 1250 dollar nice.

          mechanically, they are pretty much spyders with an air pushing it forward. face it.

          whoever said "one is ram, one is hammer"......same thing, eclipse calls it a rammer.

          they are just very nice spyders........would that stop me from buying one? no..i just think they are over rated.

              that statement is far overused. an intimidator is a spyder body milled to higher tolerances (although still not all that high by other standards) with a HPR, LPR, solenoid, ram, and slightly different bolt. it has different threads, different feedneck, and completely different frame. so whats the same? it has two tubes. it has a poppet valve. it has a (somewhat) similar bolt. its open bolt operation. ...those are things many markers share. it would probably be more accurate to say that a phantom is just a "very nice talon", or "talon on steroids". i think they actually have more internal similarities.

                I voted Angel also, I just remember when I started and asked what was the best gun, everyone said Angels, because they shoot thr furthest and most accurate and fastest. And I wanted one so bad back then, but now I play pump! HA!
