Accuracy is great but if it breaks all the time you have no marker. I dont care about speed or price.

Well, being as the marker doesn't make the accuracy, I have to go with durability.

What is the point of a gun if it's broken. Durability got my vote.

What you all are thinking about is "reliability."

I go for speed.

Speed just automatically makes you own the field = no skills.

Durability/Reliability.

Everytime you want to paintball, your gun is right there with you ready to go.

I also gotta say durability. Who needs speed or accuracy if your gun doesn't work?

 I voted durability, because what if you had a fast,accurate,pricey gun, but it just broke on you? Then whats the point of all the other stuff?

accuacy depends more on paint to bore match more than the marker, reliability basically means how bad you take care of it/ how much custom **edited** you did to it.. personally i have a victor.  it gets the job done.  i get a lot of smack about it from the guys up at FBM, but ... hey i gots a tight budget so i'd have to go with reliablity, hey, you can have a 1500 dollar gun but if it doesn't shoot all the time, my 50 dollar victor will own it :-)

i think you kinda need it all...what's so good about having a durable marker if it shoots the balls all over the place and has a 9 pound trigger pull....whats so about having a fast gun that you cant hit crap with and breaks every hopper...

Nobody ever suspects the fun police!
