Pretty much what the title says, I'm savin about $1200-1300, and spending a grand on the gun. NO Smart Parts guns. And I'm a bit hazy on Dye markers, there a tad overpriced . What should I get, and WHY?

G7, DM5/DM4, Ego, Cyborg...

There's LOTS to choose from.

Start testing guns out and researching them.

Alright, here are my recommendations (In order from best to worst)

New Proto Matrix 6 - it's as good if not better then a DM4, and costs only about $1000, so you can then get a tank and a hopper.

Proto Matrix 5 - Same as Matrix 6 only heavier. Only costs about $800, so you can buy a tank and a hopper.

Angel G-7 - an absolutely awesome gun for about $1000 (where I live)

Ton Ton Shocker - I know you didn't want a Smart Parts gun, but for about $1100, they are truly kicka$$ and it would have been tied with the new Proto Matrix.

Overshooting,

i love the bushmaster freestyle.  Get a naughtly dawgs one they are very nice heres a link

http://a-1paintballstore.com/singleProduct.html?query=wscatI ddatarq%3D%2C3%2C%26wssubCatIddatarq%3D%2C9017%2C%26neP_stat usdatarq%3DOffLine%26nediscontinueddatarq%3Dtrue&startat =13

its 899. you need a barrel so if you get a kit maybe 150, so thats 1050, then if you have 1300, you should have enough to get a tank and a hopper, get a bigger tank if you have just a barrel and not a kit

Agreed dude, both the Sonic and the Cyborg are killer guns, but if I had the choice, I think I would take the new Matrix

  SPEED BALL-------SPYDER ELECTRA ABOUT $300, CHEAP FOR A SPEEDBALL GUN BUT THE ROCKING TRIGGER IS WAY COOL!!!!  

WOODSBALL--------THE DUAL  A-5 WITH FLATLINE CONTROLLED BY ONE DOUBLE TRIGGER.  ABOUT $1,100.

I believe I referred to the Ego as a possibility.

If you're getting that figure from Planet Eclipses website, it's because they're located in the UK, and their prices are in pounds.

They're right around 1k now, here.

Yeah, but $1000 is still a lot. I think the most I would be able to muster up would be about $500.
