Which high-end, Round 1

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   That, my friends, is what it has come down to.

Vote away, and reasons are appreciated.

Please note, I don't want any of this "Well X would make a better woodsball marker...." This one is going to be used solely for speedball. I play back and mid on a 5-man team. So far we've got Egos, Excals/Vikings, and DM6's. Please do not suggest any other markers unless they are at least of the quality of those listed. Weight isn't much of a factor as I normally haul around a SS-Lapco and SS Armageddon on most of my rigs. I have an Empire ReLoaderB2 brand-new coming my way for $80 (friend doesn't like it, shot it once, went back to his halo) This poll is to help me narrow things down since I've got ADD like a mutha and change my mind about every 5 seconds on which one I want. Thanks for the input in advance.

Poll Question: Which one should I buy:
Poll Choice	Votes	Poll Statistics
New ’06 MacDev Cyborg	7	[31.82%]
Used <’99 STO w/ MQ and Race	6	[27.27%]
Used >’99 BelSales Evo w/ Race	1	[4.55%]
Used DM6	1	[4.55%]
Viking/Excal (used of course)	7	[31.82%]
You can not vote in this poll

	dm6 I have a soft spot for any matrix gun. they just shoot so nice compared to other guns that I've shot. the triggers are as smooth as butter. plus the new UL frames which come stock on dm6s are amazing.

	Well, performance is going to be good on all of these, so I think it mostly comes down to non-performance factors. The DM is the easy/logical choice. Mainstream gun, easy to fix, easy to get parts, and you can share parts and knowledge with teammates. All of the others, I think, would be chosen primarily for the "look how cool I am with my unusual gun". And generally, the more unusual the gun, the more PITA the gun. So how unusual do you want to be? The pre-99 cocker would set you up as the coolest guy on the field - until it goes down and you have to make your own parts... :)

	Put out for the Osiris.... But on topic, while the Evo would be very nice to have, the performance of an MQ'd, Raced STO can't be beaten. Go forth, and carry out the Revolution!

	I voted for the STO MQ Race. That way you can be cool like me since I will own an STO MQ E-Cocker as well. Anyway, on a more serious note. From what you've told me about the performance of Race + MQ, you'd be a fool not to go with it. And regardless of what we all say, you know you really want that STO.

	Oh, I know I want it, but the MacDev is just soooooo tempting. Heck, with what I have left-over from the MQ-RACE-STO, I can probably wind up buying the Cyborg with a little extra from my next paycheck. To heck with savings..... Oh, and you know what I just realized. I can put everything from my current body on the STO and take everything from the STO and put it on my fav IAO body (with the exception of the bolt and front block, but why ruin the nice color-scheme anyway?) I can't wait to show up at practice and our first tournament event with a 'cocker and rock out.

	STO Race + MQ. Like you said, you cant beat it and you'd have money left over...money for another nice gun.
