Im going to get my fiancee a used gtek or ego11 , ive seen a video of a guy using peanut butter and elmers glue as lube on the gtek and freeze it and it still shot great, its very reliable
Even though I already know just about every little detail/specs of every single marker here, I still found my self listening to this entire video. It's so weird, maybe its just cuz Rory is fun to listen too.
I miss the days when the dm6 came out and its sleek body compared to the dm5 revolutionized guns today. they are all sleek. I credit the dm6 and also the smart parts shocker(not the shooebox 02 shocker)
I'm out of the scene but I would go buy a used geo 3 and call it a day. They have to be as low as 300-400 used now I'd imagine. It's the most reliable gun I have ever used, shoots so smooth, very efficient and I love how the shot is
Any suggestion of upgrade from an Invert Mini? I have a deadly wind barrel with freak kit, but I still feel accuracy and smoothness leave something to be desired.
I've got my eye on their Acid Wash Blue/Pink Axe 2.0. Definitely will be paying a bit more, but I don't think it'll be as common as the blue or red ones I've seen.
I got a Etha 2 works great for Wat I do not crazy expensive and allows me to compete just as good as dudes with 1000 dollars guns even beaten the dudes with 1000 dollar guns before
Nick Talley That’s why it’s the cheapest. Shocker XLS all day fool. Better board, better barrel, better design. I mean c’mon. Why did PE run the air flow old school style on their mid/high gun when their high end CS series is new school through the frame? That was the deal breaker for me. Sorry, know some people like that but I just see that as a cheapskate mistake by the design team for the 160r.
All of these guns would easily compete with 1000+ dollar guns all day , all guns nowadays are damn near the same also with bps being 10.5 the need to pay big money is pointless you are paying 500 plus more dollars just to not use a Allen key to clean your eyes .
No. The issue here is that the price ranges aren't even. There are a TON of cheap guns. A fair amount of mid level guns. A few amount of high end. The "mid range" then shouldn't be calculated as a mean, it should be calculated as a mode (the most common entry). If you think that on average every paintballer pays $850 for their setup, you are batshit crazy.
Mid range is determined by the person purchasing the marker. I've always shot high ends, so when I look at an XLS yes, it is mid-range compared to my Ice. He gave a big gap of prices to hit everyone's "mid-range" price point.
Why don't you mention the cad file being released by PE for the Etha 2!? Sure you may not be able to get a certain colour now but later you can change that plus the design of the entire upper body at your choice!
I havent been into paintball since like High school is there something like the Ion where with a couple hundred backs in upgrades to this and that and its an absolute beast for a real afffordable price point?
I’m torn between a 160r and a dsr. I don’t have any paintball shops near by which sucks when you can’t hold em. I’m tall and have fairly big hands and it looks as if the dsr is quite smaller and I do like a more stretched out feeling. Any input?
I've played airsoft for about 5 years now and id like to try paintball and if I like it I'll deffintly get my own stuff. So does anyone have any suggestion on the type of gun I should look at I wouldn't say money is an issue im just not wanting to spend a ludicrous amount of money on a paint ball gun is say my limit is nomore then 500to600 so any suggestions would be great thanks:)
I have a rize maxed should I upgrade it? I don't play too much but I'm looking to play more. I haven't and won't play speedball for a while so idk if it's worth it
Cam Free if you like it I would keep it unless you really want to upgrade. If you are just casually using it and not using it for tournaments you should be fine. Up to you though
Is the empire mini gs a good marker? Didnt see it on the list, seeing them for 390-500 depending on the color, anyone know if it is comparable to the markers shown in the 300-500 price range?
Shawn Girard im going with the gtek160r i think planet eclipse is a company you can trust i like the dsr and the shocker but ive heard loads of positive feedback on the 160r
sizgy tube don’t know if u already decided, but the 160r is a phenomenal gun. The dsr uses an different threaded barrel so you can’t use a different barrel unless it’s that kind of threaded barrel. The shocker only works in warmer temperatures so if you live in an area where it tends to be colder I would stay away from them. Planet eclipse has a great customer service and their guns are known to be super reliable. If you want that good reliability and performance go with the 160r.
Where can I find that etha 2 color way ? I went to the ans gear website and they have the hde urban but it doesn't seem to have white in the color ??? HELP ?
a gun is referred to as something that shoots a projectile. In this case, they are called guns because you are shooting people with a paint filled ball; the projectile. Paintball guns were originally created for marking trees, hense the term, marker. Overtime, people began shooting each other with them. Now they are called guns. HIstory 101 nerd
