Accuracy is great but if it breaks all the time you have no marker. I dont care about speed or price. -------------

Well, being as the marker doesn't make the accuracy, I have to go with durability.

Speed just automatically makes you own the field = no skills. Durability/Reliability. Everytime you want to paintball, your gun is right there with you ready to go. ------------- <Removed sig for violation of Clause 4 of the New Sig Rules> |

I also gotta say durability. Who needs speed or accuracy if your gun doesn't work? ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

I voted durability, because what if you had a fast,accurate,pricey gun, but it just broke on you? Then whats the point of all the other stuff? ------------- TIPPMANN 98 CUSTOM 14" Progressive barrel 32* Black gel grips BT-16 Double trigger Pen Spring Mod X-core Expansion Chamber Vertical Adapter |

accuacy depends more on paint to bore match more than the marker,
reliability basically means how bad you take care of it/ how much
custom **edited** you did to it.. personally i have a victor. it
gets
the job done. i get a lot of smack about it from the guys up at
FBM, but ... hey i gots a tight budget so i'd have to go with
reliablity, hey, you can have a 1500 dollar gun but if it doesn't shoot
all the time, my 50 dollar victor will own it :-) ------------- goin comando n' loven every minute of it.. i'm free, are you? |

i think you kinda need it all...what's so good about having a durable
marker if it shoots the balls all over the place and has a 9 pound
trigger pull....whats so about having a fast gun that you cant hit crap
with and breaks every hopper...
