Question now is which gun to use? When I got back into the sport my o' splatmaster was definitely outclassed so I took about 2 months of trying to catch up to the new technology and setup what I wanted from my marker. They included:
As you can see my main concern was dependability for there is no reason to play if you cannot trust your marker to work. Besides I wanted a manufacture to support my decision on using their marker and I decided to start at a mid-price incase I do not want to continue to play, it was not hard on my wallet (I only play rec ball). I clean my marker at home and never plan on "field stripping" a the marker. Unless I do plan to go into tourney's I decided to go with a C98 Tippmann. I know this decision will probably cause many debates and I know there are even pro's and con's with my decision but so far I have enjoyed the marker. I recommend get one you can trust so enjoy and play!
