Pretty much what the title says, I'm savin about $1200-1300, and
spending a grand on the gun. NO Smart Parts guns. And I'm a bit hazy on
Dye markers, there a tad overpriced  . What should I get, and WHY?

G7, DM5/DM4, Ego, Cyborg... There's LOTS to choose from. Start testing guns out and researching them. |

Alright, here are my recommendations (In order from best to worst) New Proto Matrix 6 - it's as good if not better then a DM4, and costs only about $1000, so you can then get a tank and a hopper. Proto Matrix 5 - Same as Matrix 6 only heavier. Only costs about $800, so you can buy a tank and a hopper. Angel G-7 - an absolutely awesome gun for about $1000 (where I live) Ton Ton Shocker - I know you didn't want a Smart Parts gun, but for about $1100, they are truly kicka$$ and it would have been tied with the new Proto Matrix. ------------- Overshooting, America's greatest pastime. |

i love the bushmaster freestyle. Get a naughtly dawgs one they are very nice heres a link http://a-1paintballstore.com/singleProduct.html?query=wscatIddatarq%3D%2C3%2C%26wssubCatIddatarq%3D%2C9017%2C%26neP_statusdatarq%3DOffLine%26nediscontinueddatarq%3Dtrue&startat=13 - http://a-1paintballstore.com/singleProduct.html?query=wscatI ddatarq%3D%2C3%2C%26wssubCatIddatarq%3D%2C9017%2C%26neP_stat usdatarq%3DOffLine%26nediscontinueddatarq%3Dtrue&startat =13 its 899. you need a barrel so if you get a kit maybe 150, so thats 1050, then if you have 1300, you should have enough to get a tank and a hopper, get a bigger tank if you have just a barrel and not a kit -------------

Agreed dude, both the Sonic and the Cyborg are killer guns, but if I had the choice, I think I would take the new Matrix ------------- Overshooting, America's greatest pastime. |

I believe I referred to the Ego as a possibility. |

If you're getting that figure from Planet Eclipses website, it's because they're located in the UK, and their prices are in pounds. They're right around 1k now, here. |

Yeah, but $1000 is still a lot. I think the most I would be able to muster up would be about $500. ------------- Overshooting, America's greatest pastime. |
