    balance is the thing that ends up making a gun feel lighter over all.

    you can get a mag to be rather light. egos are light, minis are supposed to be uber light. i definatly have shot some guns that on the scale are heavier but feel verty light just because how they get set up.

      Really only that much? I guess I am too used to lugging around these uber beasts of steel we enjoy so much

          eblade fastback cocker is something like 1lb 12oz

          not to threadjack, but i really don't mind having a bit of weight to my markers... what is the point of having something that feels like it'll break if you look at it the wrong way?

          SS Bodied mags FTW

            Knowing wich gun is the lightest is great trivia, but I hope that you are not following the 'agg' crowd that gun weight is a huge feature.
            (On a side rant) I always found it hilarious for the more hardcore speedball players (at least around here) said they would never use a warp feed because the extra weight was not worth the less hits. They would rather train to angle their guns so that their hopper was kept behind the bunker (basically shooting gangster style, or even reverse gangster ). Well I guess that suits those who don't really care to aim properly and who can spend hundrens on a weekend of paintball and can't spend $30 on a guy pass to help lug arround the extra 1/2lb
            Xmags are noticably heavier than most high-ends that I've used. I could definately tell the difference, they're much heavier. I also used a warp feed once... and only once. The weight difference was huge and definately not worth eliminating the hopper height. Also, the warp made it incredibly hard to switch hands and basically eliminated all the fundamentals that had been drilled into my head. I find it VERY easy to aim down the side of my marker while tilting it so that the hopper stays behind the bunker. It remains to be very accurate and makes you a much smaller target.

              Only thing I can say is don't switch hands..same grip just shoot other side. I think if you practiced with it for a season you may like it better. I do know how hard it is to break old training though...

                          HA! I wish that were mine. I couldn't afford just the body. It's Sly51's, of the Chikun Nuggetz or however you spell it. Good guy; helped me out a lot. I can almost gurantee that Sniper is worth more than a Carter...

                            I bet that body could be made 2-3 times faster than an aluminum body. Delrin is like butta under the machines.

                            Freestyles are pretty light, I forget how much my Gen 2 weighed, it wasnt very much... I have pics somewhere.

                                its a matter of a few ounces just stop eating the donuts and go to the gym. weight shouldnt matter its performance that counts. as long as it doesnt weght 10 pounds im happy. i know a guy that comes to georgia to play scenario's that has a marker that is 10.32 pounds without the tank and air. it looks sweet but its a brick. he's a retired sgt major in the marine corps and he tells me to stop eating the donuts and go to the gym.
