i have one and its very durable
but there are better guns for a little bit more, like the slg or a used miniou could probably find a good deal on here

are you planning on playing scenario, because if you want it to look like a real gun its great

i play woods alot i am in a team that play all the events and i use a dm8 and alot of my team mate use sup air markers i had a bravo one one of the first bravo ones to hit the shelf in the UK i used it for 1 walk on and sold it and got a proto pmr but if your looking at some thing with milsim looks i would go for the BT TM7 very good marker and has all the looks and they go for about 150 - 200 on the second hand market but my advice would be don't but a tippmann and upgrade it there is no point when you come to sell it it wont be worth what you have spent on it i had a tippmann a5 bort it new spent £500 on it come to sell it only got 180 for it waste of time and money

hope it helps

I've got a Bravo one and while it is durable, it is easily outclassed by other markers.

It all depends if you are playing for a bit of fun or do you intend to take things a bit more seriously. If all the people you are playing against are similarly equipped (ie mechanical triggers, gravity hoppers etc), then a Bravo One is fine. If you are going be playing against people with electros and higher end milsim, then you could stuggle.

Whether you should get a milsim marker is all a matter of personal choice, but if you do like that look then be prepared to spend some cash - the old adage "you get what you pay for" does apply and milsim markers & add-ons can get expensive.

I decided to go with mil sim to start with and bought an Bravo One and then an X7 but after a while found I prefered using non-milsim style markers. If you can, see if you can try out some markers at a walk on day at your local site and find out what you like before you buy - it may save you money in the long run (I wish I had done that as I now thinking of selling my Bravo One & X7 to fund my growing Autococker habit...).
