So, I've been paintballing for several years, and I am looking to get a new gun soon. I have right now 2 brass eagles (ick) and 1 98C with a few mods (long barrel, remote, folding stock) I really like the US Army Project Salvo, and the Carver One. Chances are that sooner or later I will end up buying both, but which of the two would you guys recommend buying first?

All very similiar markers. The USA Project Salvo has nearly identical internals as the 98. Not sure of the Carver One, but it is meant as an entry level marker. Personally, I would save up and look into a Phenom.

Yeah, i have looked into the Phenom a bit, and ive handled a friend's X7, but it felt kinda bulky. I dont know if the Phenom is the same. I did know that the Carver One is an entry level, and thats part of the reason i want it. I often take friends along that have never gone, or dont have the funds to buy their own gear, and i feel it would be a lot better to start someone out on that rather than a brass eagle. Plus modding out guns is just plain fun. Thanks for the info, i will definately read up some more on the Phenom. I have a long time until i buy, so i will do my research. Thanks. Thumbs Up
