    For me there have been two. A ptp autococker. I was able to track down the gun it was parted but I got back the anodized parts so im happy.

    The other is another autococker. A 98 sto that had a ton of custom work and milling done by bbt paintball. It was filled with shocktech stuff, had several matching barrels. The guy I sold it to parted everything from a mint gun.

      I haven't really regretted one yet cause I mostly hoard and only rarely sell. I have sold a few - a DM15, an open class phantom, and a project salvo, but don't really miss them as I wasn't using them often and I found I like axes better than DMs. I did also build a nice classic Mag and gave it to my cousin, but I don't feel bad about that at all.

      Thinking of parting with my sanchez SM-1 soon since I don't shoot it enough, and I can see regretting that because they are so hard to find.

      Some pics of the stuff I talked about:

          As silly as it sounds it was mostly the ergos for me. Both shoot nice and smooth and were both very reliable for me, but the DM just felt kind of stretched out and clunky when in use. On top of that the front felt heavier and just a touch slower to point, probably because the loader sits further forward.

          Now, I've got plenty of Gs with both and you can certainly be successful with both, I just realized that personally I'm more likely to win 2 on 1s or other more stressful, tight situations with something that points where I want it to just a little bit quicker.

            Rad... it would have been really nice to see an Empire Impulse instead of JT.. i think they could have made the flagship and then a polymer grip frame one also.... Kind of like the Ego and etek

              Empire and JT are both G.I. Sportz.

                This gforce pnuemag. Had custom polished grips made, and it eventually got an rt valve. Someone here on AO still has it and stuck an xvalve in it.

                    Correct... im just saying the JT branding on the impulse is what killed sales of the impulse more than likely... and that was kee actions sports decision i believe, the JT impulse was released more than a year before GI bought it all

                      I see what you're saying now, and I agree it was odd that it came out as a JT marker. Masks, yes. Former SP markers, no.

                        exactly... because it was probably the best impulse made.. it must have been something to do with the AXE pro sales?.. or maybe they were trying to increase JT market value or something.

                          I never should have sold my first marker, an SL68, but my blue pneuz is probably my worst regret. I just think of everything she could have become...

                            lol the first time i played paintball was with an sl68 rental... i cant remember the exact date but i was in 1st or 2nd grade(thick Loxahatchee woods with a few pallets and barrels).. like 60 seconds into my first game ever i run forward as the game starts and immediately go to the low crawl stock-photo-6995805-toy-army-soldier.jpg i played with army men so it was my understanding that if i layed down they couldnt see me... immediately shot in the knuckle no gloves (it broke the skin and my little hand was swollen by the time the game was over)... lol i played but i was scared of getting hit by a paintball for probably a year
