Mechanical Markers vs Electric Markers

[3L1TE hax]

All paintballs have to go the same speed (<300 FPS)

if you mean kick, like recoil. a stacked tube blow black (google it) will probably kick more than most markers...

oh but please carry on

the inferno one made me giggle and the shoebox shocker

be warned, take a 1990's slab autococker to the face and you wont be getting up...

I know it is! I affectionately call it the elephant gun! Felt like it could take out an elephant anyway

so an electric marker at 300fps and a mechanical marker at 300fps will hurt the same?

 

[Orion3]

Yes!
The paintballs will travel at the same speed.

The main difference will be the amount of balls you will be able to shoot in a second. With a fully ramped electronic marker you can get 30+ balls a second, with a mechanical marker I think you'd be lucky to 4 a second.

Why do you want to know which hurt more anyway?

Can't believe this thread is still going. I think the answer is, it's not the type of marker that will hurt you as the velocity is roughly the same, but where you get hit. A shot to the nads or an exposed neck as someone does a run through on you at close range is always gonna sting a little more than other area's of the body. If your a larger gentleman like myself, the extra padding is always helpful.
