May i ask why you're about to spend 400$ on an electro X7, when you could buy a speedball gun and save a decent amount of cash?

I didnt like the look of the speedball guns thats why l liked tippmans. However even in woodsball the tippmans dont come close to consistancy and fire rate at semi auto. When my A5 sells Im getting either the GOG Extcy, Invert Mini, or Axe. Im leaning towards the Extcy due to price and what it comes with.

The XTC (extcy) is one of the best markers for under 300$. However, most people hate the trigger on the XTC. The Xball guns are also a lot lighter, which makes it easier to carry around all day. If you have the extra 200$ to spend i would go with the axe. However, before you blow all your money on a gun, buy a nice mask, tank, and gear. A good player with an extcy is better than a rookie player with an axe.

Yeah i figured talking about anything other than a Tippmann on here would be frowned upon.

LOL, speedball gun. Yeah i figured talking about anything other than a Tippmann on here would be frowned upon. I havent shot a Tippmann in about 2 years. It's more the attempt at defining one sort of marker as a speedball marker and one as woodsball. I only play woodsball/scenario games and find myself sitting besides nearly every type of marker out there. In fact, I have on occasion used an orange Mini in the woods...gasp!

I'm sorry i should of referred to them as "Electronic Markers" to make it more clear.

But consider this, when the OP's borrwed Ions battery dies, he's out of the game. If he had a Phenom, he can flip a switch and keep on shooting, kind of like my Emag that I use as my primary.

True, i can't argue anything there. However, is it really worth the extra 150$ (comparing to the XTC price) to be able to put the X7 into mechanical mode in case the battery dies?

i bought the phenom mech and it will pretty much stay mech
with a fang tigger on there i can walk the trigger almsost as fast as an egrip but i dont have to worrie
about batteries at all!

i didnt mean to start a elec vs mech fight. the reason i was thinking about the phenom elec is because its still the milsim look but the performance of a elec gun. I also like the tippman brand their products are bulletproof. However after using my friends modded ion i got over the space ray look of most elec guns and im getting one. i was shocked by the difference between mechanical and electronic. I didnt know a paintball gun could be that consistant.  My a5 sold on ebay today so im waiting for black friday to see if anyone is doing any deals on the extcy or more likely the axe. I already have my vlocity loader, ninja 4500 68cu tank ready

Oh she's happy
And Ya the techy at paintballgear who plays speedball exclusively
Said its the only mech trigger he could ever walk
I guess I can't say true walking when it's just mech
But with the fang trigger my pull is super quick
