    Sigh, sarcasm is yet again missed.

    Anyway, balance is more important, my classic rt is around 7-8 pounds with everything, but because of the drop forward i have on it it feels like a light marker.

    Ydna, what kind of valve is that? Poppet? Blow forward? I'm completely cofused as to how it would fire, it looks like a hunk of metal.

      Knowing which 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 around the extra 1/2lb
      Weight isn't a big issue and I totally agree 1 lb difference isnt much, VM68 MAGNUM is too heavy though in my opinion, the other topic is my concern, a Paintball marker isnt like a real firearm in which the barrel is slightly angled up when the sights are parallel to the deck for a firearm.
      This gives the round an upward exit from the bore, as gravity affects the round it falls to the deck, thus forming the trajectory. A PB marker doesn't have this upward slant, thus if you shoot with the marker slightly canted to the side you are not really affecting the trajectory of the marker.

      I could go on but the point is sort of mute. The warp is a good idea, but for the reason only to keep the markers silhouette smaller from top.

        I agree, but i believe you meant to say the point is moot.
