This time, I've got COMPLETELY different markers on my mind. A Duckslide Phantom, a pneumatic mag, or upgrading my Black Magic. I'll do this in a bulleted list form. Who knows, maybe in typing this I'll make up my mind.
 Duckslide Phantom Advantages - Looks awesome - Pump gun - Custom built to my specifications - Butter smooth pump stroke Disadvantages - Gonna run me a grand total of $550 - Take a while to make - Gonna run me a grand total of $550 - Don't even know if it's gonna be my main - See points 1 and 3. Pneumag Advantages - Mag reliability and simplicity - New aftermarket pneumatic frame has been produced - Give me a reason to custom build a mag - Amazing trigger pull at a fully walkable .5mm - NO BATTERIES! WOO!!! Disadvantages - Gonna cost me about as much as the Phantom - Err... That's all I can really think of... Upgrading the Black Magic Advantages - It's a mid-blocked, lightweight electro 'cocker. <3 - Allows me to indulge the tinkerer within. Not like I don't do that anyway... - It could use a few ups Disadvantages - By the time I'm done, it's still probably gonna cost me about as much as the Phantom - I'll be keeping the BM, so I could just as easily call this a backburner project, because it is working right now... Hm. Well, the list seems to be in favor of the Pneumag, but I still am not sure... |

The Phantom is the obvious choice.

The Mag can cost less that $550, especially if you do the Pnuemag yourself, and get used parts. Usually used Mag parts are in good condition too.

Didn't expect that coming from you...
Well, G-Force (who isn't dead yet  ) has announced a new line of pneumatic frames for various markers. The Pneumag frame is already in production, for limited amounts, and will cost $200. Good news for the other guys, plans for Spyders, Tippmanns and 'cockers (!!!) are also in the works. No notes on production for them yet. |

Dude, how long have you e-known me? Srsly...
EDIT: Okay, CCM is making a new pump kit that I'm sexually attracted to, so I think I may have to go the Sniper route... Edited by DeTrevni - 12 October 2007 at 4:06pm |

Carbon Fiber. Luscious, light, beautiful carbon fiber. I have no idea why I like the stuff so much. Ugh. Mongo said he'd put a 1-piece aside for me, and for some reason that makes me want to get a Duckslide even more... I hate life. |

But is life leading me to a Duckslide, a Sniper or a pneumag? All of the afformentioned markers include a neat "rare" part, and I can't figure out which playing style is better...

just don't stick your wang down the feed neck, the lube will get all up in the chamber and barrel and make the shots go wild. 
The reason I said mag is that you need another marker that you can actually go out and play with.... and let's face it, when was the last time you actually took a marker out to a field and played a game?! Besides, pneumags are nice. I can't stand the standard classic valves or the R/T valve mags. E-mags and lvl-10 I can deal with, but still don't love. The only mags I've ever shot that I liked were a pneu-mag and a Z-grip mag. The Z was just... well, let's say that I needed a smoke afterwards. |

Z's seem too tight for me. I couldn't adjust to having it so tucked in all the time. If I miss out on the pneuframe for some reason, I'm gonna look for a Y though. Maybe an X-Valve. No ULT though, as that limits the face-raping R/T the valve is capable of.

Well mind you, I'm more of a speedball/tourney player than almost anyone on here other than Gatyr and USAF. I mean, for pete's sake, I still use a drop with the 'geddon and fire the 'cocker with my middle finger. I don't see how people can use a damned hinge-frame.

True, but due to my height, weight and overall slowness, I'm normally a backplayer unless I feel I can make a move, so decent length in a marker is better for me. Now, I am intrigued by the Y frames.
PS: I = recballer, so I'll take a little of anything. |

You know, more people need to come on here with marker problems. I just noticed that I've got the last-say on about half the threads in the bottom 3 forums..... Sheesh.
So, what do you think you're going to run with? Anything I ever suggest you just wind up selling. |
