Which Gun To Purchase

He has had many different guns, but he always complains about how complex they are(autococker, now maxtrix)   so what i am asking is what is the best tippmann weapon, the fastest rate of fire, and the most firepower with out to many switches. The best would if there was a good gun with just a safety like the 98 custom. I have never seen a a-5 or x-7 closely so maybe one of these would have it. please let me know.   once the response trigger is installed, does it require batteries or anything? any on off switches?

1) Paintball marker =/= weapon. It is a piece of sports equipment, in effect a tool. It should never be used as a weapon. Calling it a weapon has a negative implication, do not reference paintball equipment as weapons.

2) Your dad sounds like a cry baby. If he thinks Matrixes are too complex, just about any gun is too complex.

3) He would be better served keeping the matrix and just learning how to maintain the marker.

4) The R/T trigger does not require batteries, while the e-grip does need batteries. There are less expenseve, lighter,  and just as effective markers that you should consider over a Tippmann marker. Buy the marker because its reliable, and cost effective. You should never make purchases based off of name recognition.
