NME? Or somethin else?

Ok... I've been seriously thinking about a high-end gun lately... however
I'm not looking to spend more than $1000.

I like the feel of the Shockers, they are very light and very small. But then I
saw the System X NME LE markers on County's site. These markers look
sick. If you haven't seen them yet,

go here.

So I'm basically looking for suggestions on other high end markers to look
into. I want something fast, has eye's, and runs low pressure, for under $1k.

Any suggestions?

Rumor has it that System X may be taking over a large existing project.  Some Tippmann owners may have to learn to like System X in the near future.

Aren't the System X cockers the same thing as the old Dye cockers?

The NME is cool looking.  Never heardof it.

The NME is a timmy clone apparently.  So if you like timmies, I'm sure you will enjoy an NME.  According to a PGI review:

- the bolt "travels 20% less distance than the bolt in an Intimidator which allows for quicker cycle time."
- ram adjuster, stock (unlike most timmies)
- double bearing magnetic trigger, stock (unlike stock timmies)
- efficiency is around 1600 shots per 68/45 fill
- their experience was +/-4 consistency
- Avalance will be shooting these (I don't care, but maybe you do)

Protos are coming down in price. Check that out.
NME is a timmy clone. Short bolt movement= less kick, more efficenty(sp)

i don't see the clue...
i hear this gun runs on 60 psi, that's amazing!
but, please tell us the clue. i would love to know.
the NME looks like a freakin sweet gun. buy that, or a proto matrix. oh and by the way, use paintballgear.com it's cheaper than countypaintball.com(895 instead of 949)

Actually, System X states that it runs at 60psi in their description of the
marker. Its not like slettec just made that up. Whether its true or not... ask
someone that's used one...

I think the milling on the NME LE is awesome. Definately looks better than
the older NME models.

Warwingsaw, yup, you caught me sayin "gun". I usually always try to be PC
and say "marker". The ION seems like it won't stand up to the test of time,
since SP basically took every shortcut possible inorder to keep prices as low
as possible. I have considered buying one however, I want to see how long
other ppl's ION's seem to last. If nothing else tho, it seems like a nice
backup marker.

Ah, true that. My LPR is flying by at 55 psi.

$949 is the MAP price for the NME LE so we're not allowed to sell it any cheaper. As stated above, PBG is still listing the old versions.

I used my NME again in a tournament over the weekend, still loving it. No problems and I haven't done anything except take it out of the box, adjust the reg to chrono legal and go play.

bob long baby they look and shoot sick
