![]() I'm going to be buying a new marker pretty soon so here is what I'm looking at
Proto PMR http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/...AAEOzq00w%2e13 Proto SLG (since it's less than the pmr I have more money for upgrades) http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/...4AAAEVFsg9TvJ8 ICD Promaster http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/...YAAAEYA4cww3Y8 WGP Trilogy SF Competition http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/...oAAAEadar_XHPI Smart Parts Epiphany http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/...gAAAETZQhHL_8o Smart Parts Ion (less than epiphany, so more money for upgrades) http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/...gAAAEBJ9hekf3f I'm open to suggestions but I really don't want another spyder |

![]() Id look used. For the amount you spend on those you can buy a older timmy that would be straight vicious or a PM6 or something of the sort-
thats just my opinion.

![]() None of the above. RANT:
PMR: I've had efficiency and leaking issues with PMR's more than any other gun. That gun was on the workbench more than it was the field. Terrible resale. SLG: It's a sear tripper, I've heard good things but I just wouldn't buy one. It's lacking some key parts and I'd rather have a different gun. TERRIBLE resale. ICD promaster: It's no longer in production, no support. Don't bother. Some fanboy will be upset, but it's a dead gun don't buy it unless you get an absolutely awesome deal. WGP trilogy: Someone else will be upset by this comment, but is there really even a point to shooting a semi autococker any more? Pump cockers are the only ones worth while, the trilogy is pretty bad for a semi cocker to begin with. Epiphany: Expensive Ion, see ion. Ion: Poorly executed, good design. I'd never buy a stock ion. I'd only accept one if I created it myself, those usually run up to about 300-400 before they become worthwhile, you might as well look at MY recomended guns. I'd recommend ![]() 0-100 range: rent/borrow 100-200: SLG, but I'd save up for g3 200-300: SLG + Ups, but I'd save up for g3 300-400: PMR, and some money for the field tech, Save up a bit more 400-500: DEFINATELY THE Dangerous power G3. Save up for this gun. It rips face 500-600: Protege. enough said, this gun rips. 600-700: protege + board 700-800: Vice 800-900: Vice + strippers 900-1000: Vice + more strippers 1000-1500: whatever. It really won't matter now. |

![]() i voted based on the actual markers and not others.
I voted for the PMR because, if you could afford the PMR, get that over the slg. The trilogy is pretty much a dead market. Promasters are dying as well. If you really wanted to go with the ion platform, go with the epiphany, I think you can find it for cheaper. If it was a toss up between the epiphany or the pmr, the PMR would be my choice. |

http://www.paintballtrader.com/Xcart2k7/home.php has taken over customer support for ICD. I just recently picked up a Promaster and I love it. I've put in a new valve and polished up the ram for better efficiency & slightly lower operating pressure. There's still a live board for ICD too: http://www.icd-owners.com/html/index.php?name=Forums I got mine delivered to my door for a little over $100 and I think it's a sweet shooting gun. http://www.spyder.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=15137 That's the post from the spring when I got it. I have to say that the attention to design detail and construction of the Promaster is well worth the new lower prices; no plastic or cheaply made parts on it. Besides, who cares if the factory stopped producing, does that make it any less of a quality marker? Edit: Here's one at $41 so far: http://cgi.ebay.com/Indian-Creek-ICD...QQcmdZViewItem or one with a tank & hopper for $50 so far: http://cgi.ebay.com/Promaster-Paintb...QQcmdZViewItem This one's super secret: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Lasoya-Proma...QQcmdZViewItem ![]()

![]() I was thinking the SLG because, on both the PMR and SLG I would probably get a metal back cap, new trigger, and new feedneck, so what's the point of spending the extra $75
and this trilogy has an e-frame (has semi-auto, full auto, and 2 ramping modes) |

![]() If you play your cards right, and get one with the right board even the older timmys can have the boards reflashed, my Species is a good example as it still has a Frenzy board in it, but it's been reflashed with newer code. So the stock board still supports PSP ramping, not to mention has all the settings to really need. I just have to figure out how to change the cap from 15bps to 13...
![]() Not to mention, if you get a 2k5, there's isn't much you actually need to upgrade to have an awesome gun, really just huck some paint in it, toss on your tank and you're good. |
