Well... I've promised myself so many times that I would buy a new gun. At first I wanted a Blazer, then an RT Mag, then a Blazer again, then just to upgrade my A-5 'til it becomes fairly good, then an RT Mag again.

But then I had a revelation. I realized that by using a good stock class marker, I can improve my playing skills. I know the road to becoming a good player will be tough but I am standing by my decision that a pump is the best choice for me.

The one problem is that there is no gun that can satisfy my every desire in a pump (unless I wanted to spend a ton of money on a Super Stocker with an insane amount of upgrades to meet my demands).

So, I need anybody with experiance with any pump marker to vote and to spew their thoughts into this thread.

My demands for an ideal pump marker are below:

I want the gun to be able to quickly and easily switch from vert feed to stock class feed.

I prefer an under-barrel pump but I will try to get used to one like the phantom if I choose to get it (the under-barrel pump kit for the phantom doesn't look comfortable or aesthetically pleasing)

It must have a vertical ASA so that I can use CA as needed.

Must have standard bottomline holes on the grip (unless Super Stocker)

If the barrel isn't removable it'd better be damn well accurate without any modification.

Must have a sight rail.

Ive always had a thing for WGP's pump, I find them very comfy in the grip. Try to find a gun shop that has some of the choices and pick them up and see what one you like better, becuase really all of your choices are top notch (Except the Illusion, Ive never tried one of those). The palmer and the phantom are both smooth as butter.

One last thing, what is your price range??

Around $400.

I already have a Revvy, VL 200, 20 oz. CO2, and 47/3000 HPA Tank.

Agreed, You're definitly at the may I see that one please stage. There all good, you just have to decide which one fits you best. Shooting the Phantom and the Sniper should'nt be too hard. There the most popular with the pumpers.
